Pretty easy to make. some leader material, some small egg sinkers and some squids, one hook and you're in business.

We make our own as well. That way we can mix up the shell squid patterns and stingers. Still buy the components from the guys we bought the completed rigs from and we still have them make some up as well. I rig my own spreader bars now too.

Why even try.........

I'll take that bet and offer a question. What exactly do I need to buy at the supply store? A list with detailed instructions would be nice. I'll prob go tomorrow.

http://www.fishermansoutfitter.com/p...-13-squid.aspx

main color I stinger color M

you need a coil of mono 250-400# up to you, crimps,hand crimper,beads to hold the squid shells on,chafing gear. various colors of squid.hooks 10/0 is ok.
four of five sqiud nose to tail or close. and one about three feet back different color with a sinker inside.hide a beefey snap in the last squid so you can swap out the stingers. stingers are a little bit bigger than the main squid.

thats not set in stone either..
