>>839419buy yourself a few squid jigs. I'm away from my house but have these with me in the hotel. (pic)
depending on how far you cast there are a number of sizes and colors and style of jigs. stick with the basics at first, the handtied japan jigs which are considered the best can get pricey. $50+ but luckily you dont lose many jigs squid fishing. I always start with the 5" cheapos they fish fine. a slow erratic retrieve like a "z" then move to smooth flow retrieve like a sideways "s". when you get one try to remember the retrieve style you used. this is dependent on them feeding or mating so you can figure out if you remember. I also like the cheap china lights to add a attraction. gives the squid the idea that other squid are feeding on your lure. the lures in the pic light up when they hit the water. they are cheap on ebay but just as effective as the some expensive jigs. I always throw these first then move to more specialized lures depending on where the squid are in the water column. Ive also had good luck with using tai kabura jigs for larger humbolt's if theyre around might want to give them a try.
