Fish one of those red swirls when the squid are around. Don't worry too much about the wire . My 2nd fish over 50 came on one Bob gave me when I was a kid. 51lb 3oz. 8th fish that night ove 25 and used it for a couple more yrs till hooks got twisted by a 27lber tryin to snag it in the rocks to get off. i've been usin them since the 60's an never had a wire break yet. Plenty of twisted hooks but no broken wires. Still have my Scheafer award an pin for it.Ron

WOW!!! Great story from the past.

I think that at some point in time all of us old guys should compile some kind of a electronic memory thread.
