Was a great night out
Was a great night out learning a few more things about squid and squidding. A big thanks to Ryan, Paul and the Gancraft guys for coming out and giving the talk.
I found it interesting that they use such a heavy line class. Those rods are amazing, great sensitivity aswell as being strong as, if only i had the money hahaha.
Good on them for coming out and going in the comp showing people that the egi thing isnt just a simple process. It was their first time squidding in Australia and they flogged the other teams. There good at what they do.
Thanks again boys.

Heavy line class is right, up
Heavy line class is right, up to 8 meters of 14lb flurocarbon was mentioned, a good way to stop loseing expensive squid jigs.
Like the Breaden guys that come out from Japan these guys said it was very important the egi hits the bottom before you lift it and jerk it, something i never do,,
