So the 13" squid are the way to go......

What distance inbetween the squids on the daisy chain, 4 - 5"s?
Only weight the stinger or last squid before the stinger? Maybe I should just buy one to see how it goes together, but $72 for one lure, my fiance won't like that

Depends on how fast you want to troll them. The faster you go the more weight in each squid. You can also use some 5 pound test to rig the stinger tot he last squid and when it breaks away fight the fish without the spreader bar.

on the hull truth, the NJ guys are using 9" squids, should I use those or the 13"s? Which do you guys prefer, had the best luck.
