squid.
So, howz it goin' eh? As you have u have undoubtedly discovered...all this positive "squidder reel" jabber was a hoax. In short..."join the club...you are screwed!!!".

Kidding. Squidder is a great caster under the right conditons, but I wish I tried a jigmaster with it's faster ratio. The squid does cast FAR, but is soooo slow to retrieve.

25pound test "regular diameter" mono is the min. for ease of casting. Have gone down to 18 and it goes far, but nests more. If get thin diameter then get diameter equivalent to "regular" 25-pound stren type line for ease of casting. Am told that braided line works well for casting, but did not find that in practice (give up a LOT in distance)...though, if you are plopping from a boat or jetty and distance doesn't matter then....Heavier line is no sweat.
