Hey it works for me, probably 75% of squid fish I get are on that rig. I got that black on it our last trip and there is no way in hell I could of landed that fish with a standard dropper.

Yeah the standard dropper is not a 100% knot, and since it weakens the line I kinda came up with my own substitute.





It's a 100%, slides when bit, and seems to get bit better with a higher hookup when the Yellows are around.

Jim, did you ever consider putting a carolina keeper on the main line to have a few inches of line between the hook and the slider? Seems like that could help with the presentation Only downside I could think of is that it might twist on the way down...

Yeah there is the twist and spin factor. The deal is when the tube is tight to the hook and squid it keeps the squid level, so it cant twist or spin.

With macs as well they do not spin or tangle, If you give them slack with the Carolina keeper they will do both.

I have used CKs with it setting up long leaders for halibut fishing with anchovies, but found it worked better without the keeper with Macks Sardines Jacksmelt and Squid.

ha....or you could just use the "search" function on the tool bar above ? or ....google?

truth is all this stuff, including the most super secret methods have been discussed in great length in the past, read, learn, experiment... or do you want us to reel your fish in for you to?

or....

actually go fishing and see/ask what others are doing?


what I'm trying to say is there is a time and place for everything, and this ain't it!!!


GO FISH!!!!

thanks scallywhad for your advise.
i've used the "google search", but it really doesn't give too much info like these sites do. i am sure that this is a reason why a lot of us are reading this forum, to learn something from others who know more than i do.
glad that you have already read, learned and experimented with "this stuff" already and sorry that it is so boring for you to have to reread this stuff again.
i look at it this way. we all start off at the same spot but learn at a different pace through experience or from meeting someone who is willing to share their knowledge. with the internet, it has become easier to learn from others; that's why this site is so useful. so thank you (jim day) to those who are willing to share their knowledge with us.
and no thanks i'll reel in my own fish, once i learn to fish first......
