Got some fishing gurus in here with lots of good info! Will be taking all this onboard when I go wet a line on the weekend. Cheers

hey guys and girls, new to fishing and forums. just went squidding with some friends today at lonny and then off of brighton jetty. I had a 3.5 squid jig on my set up but the whole time my line didnt tension. i would cast out, and give the jig time to drop, i would try to the slack out of the line but the line was all slack, i would reel in and flick the rod but still had no tension in my line. Now i am wondering what is the go from here, as this was the only squid jig i had i couldnt experiment much.

is the jig too heavy and sitting on the ocean bed? if so should i add a floater or buy a lighter jig? or is the jig too light so theres no tension because its like there is nothing on the end of the line? if so should i add a sinker to it or buy a heavier jig? looking to go squidding next weekend so some advice would go a longway.
thanks in advance legends.
