It is the season for fishing for squid every May to September, and now is the perfect time to go. The rig for squid fishing is quite simple, with ready-made rigs available. It is used with down shot, with bait made from cloth rolls, and it will hang with a sinker or mud roll at the bottom. For hand-held fishing, you can use 1 to 3 pcs of cloth rolls to put on the line directly or paired with a 20 to 40 cm leader line, with each cloth roll spaced 40 to 60 cm apart. The fishing area’s depth usually exceeds 100 meters, so it’s recommended to use a line capacity of over 150 meters. For the main line, a PE line of size 0.8 or 1 is suggested. Due to the current, the thickness of the line affects the angle of drift; if the line is too thick, it may cause the whole rig to tilt and entangle with nearby lines. The fishing technique involves placing the rig at the desired depth and slowly searching upward. You might even get bites within 10 meters. Simply repeat the same motion of slow retrieval or a gentle jigging action. Squid is low in calories, rich in protein, and highly nutritious, containing EPA and DHA. Its sweet, tender, and bouncy texture makes it easy to cook. So, summer night fishing for squid is indeed the right time!

 

For rod selection, you can choose HR INNOVATION series, which is designed primarily for targeting cephalopods. INNOVATION IKA series is specifically tailored for squid fishing, with weights ranging from 40g to 150g and available power in M and MH, allowing you to select based on your weight requirements. This series comes in both casting and spinning models. It is recommended to use line sizes 0.8 or 1, as squid fishing doesn't involve excessive pulling or abrasion. Thinner lines not only resist current but also enhance your ability to feel the moment a squid takes the bait. The sensitive tip allows you to detect vibrations from the cloth rolls instantly. Its sturdy back helps you quickly discern fish signals when a squid bites, ensuring you don’t miss the chance to set the hook. The rod's flexible body can absorb the sudden force from a squid's struggle, preventing breakage due to excessive tension.

 

For line selection, you can opt for MONSTER GAME II X8 PE LINE. The line uses a super-strong eight-strand braiding technique, resulting in a smooth surface with reduced friction. This enhances casting distance and improves abrasion resistance, making it more durable. It offers stable strength, low stretch, and high sensitivity, suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use. Available sizes range from 0.8 to 8, making it versatile enough for any fishing method.

 

HR INNOVATION IKA 

The pinnacle of HR rods, INNOVATION series, embodies the most advanced technology from HR, focusing on ultimate lightweight design and high sensitivity. The IKA specification features a pistol grip rod with a rotating guide design, effectively reducing the chance of line tangling at the tip. The bright orange solid tip enhances sensitivity and visibility, ensuring you won’t miss any opportunities to set the hook.

 

HR MONSTER GAME II X8 PE LINE

Using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene line significantly enhances the strength required for offshore operations. The eight-strand braiding technique creates a smooth surface, reducing friction as the line passes through the guides. This tight weaving minimizes water disturbance, improving hydrodynamics and enhancing sensitivity during operation.
