BEFORE ONE LEARNS HOW TO RIG A SQUID....MAN SHOULD LEARN SOME BACKGROUND....SOME HISTORY OF A SQUID


DID YOU KNOW THAT A LOLIGO GROWS TO 8 INCHES?.....AND HAS 8 SHORT ARMS...AND 2 LONG ONES.....THE LONG ONES USED TO CATCH DINNER?

DID YOU KNOW IN THAT 1961...A GOLD COIN WAS FOUND IN A GIANT SQUID OF THE COAST OF BARCELONA...AND TWO YEARS PRIOR...A SWIMMER OWNING THAT COIN WENT MISSING AND WAS NEVER FOUND......AND THAT A 40 FT SQUID WAS ALSO FOUND IN THE BELLY OF A GIANT SPERM WHALE WASHED ASHORE??? DID YOU KNOW THIS PERTINENT FACTS?.....NO? OKAY....CONTINUING ON.....

DID YA KNOW THAT SQUID CHANGE COLORS ...AND HAVE MORE NERVES THAN ANY VERTABRAE ON DA PLANET? EVER WONDER WHY YOU SEE BLUE SQUIDS...ORANGE SQUIDS...AU NATURELLE SQUIS....& GREEN SQUIDS IN MELTONS CATALOG?? DO YA? WHY D YOU THINNK SQUIDNATION PROVIDES SO MANY COLOR COMBOS FOR US? WHY??? RASTA...AU NATURELLE...BLUE SQUISDS...RED SQUIDS....ALL THE FLASHING COLORS THEY PRESENT ARE MERELY ELECTRONIC SIGNALS USED TO PICK UP CHICKS!

WE CALL IT SEX PEOPLE...AND LOTS OF IT....SQUID LOVE SEX JUST AS MUCH AS WE DO AND PARTICIPATE IN ROMANISTIC ORGIES AS OFTEN AS THEY CAN.....IT'S THE SAME TECHINIQUE AS MAN USES....INSERT TENTACLE AND MAKE DA DEPOSIT

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AHHHHH...... THE SWEET SMELL OF SWINE MUCK ....THE FUNKY STINCH OF A BURNING LANDFILL.....THE AFTERMATH OF A BOWL OF HOMEMADE CHILLI.....ALL OF WHICH COMBINED CANNOT BEGIN TO MATCH THE AROMATIC GLORY OF A BAITBOX FULL OF PERFECTLY LACED .SQUIDS ....

I STARTED MY EARLY TROLLING DAYS WITH A FULL FLEET OF SQUIDS.....HECK...... THERE WERE NO BALLYHOOS TO SPEAK OF ...NO BIONIC BAIT TRUCKS...NO BAITMASTER 18 WHEELER FREEZER TRUCKS CRUISING UP & DOWN 95 LOADED WITH HOOS....I'M NOT EVEN FOR SURE IF THERE WAS A 95 BACK IN '74 .......NONETHELSSS, I MADE MY WAY TO THE LOCAL NETTERS MANY TIMES BEGGING FOR A 5 GALLON BUCKET OF BAITS. SOMETIMES I PAID...SOMETIMES I SWAPPED FILLETS FOR BAITS.....SOMETIMES 4 OR 5 WERE JUST HANDED OVER TO ME ...YESSS! THE SMELL OF VICTORY !

PLACEMENT OF A SQUID IN DA SPREAD BREEDS VICTORY TO ONE'S SOUL.....VICTORY THAT YOU SURVIVED THE INK SPLASH....VICTORY THAT YOU TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO GO BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES.....AND KNOWING VICTORY IS/WAS A MERE MOMENT AWAY ONCE YOUR INK ROCKET IS/WAS DEPLOYED

SINGLE HOOK...DOUBLE HOOK...DOESN'T MATTER.....WIRE -MONO...DOESN'T MATTER......I'VE USED ALL TECHINIQUES.....WHEN A PELAGIC BLOWS UP ON ONE..... IT'S LIGHTS OUT ....SIANARO.....CURTAIN CALL AND NDABOX!....THERE IS NO TRAILING A SQUID BY A BILL...THERE ARE NO SHORT BITES BY DA MEAT....IT'S PURE SUCK 'EM UP TIME BABY!!! DOWN DA PIPE!

I SOMETIMES PREFACE MY MANTLES WITH AN EL PLASTIQUE DRESSING ....CREATING A LIFE FORM RESEMBLING A WATER MONSTER YET TO BE DISCOVERED AND THEY STILL PILE ONTO IT! T

HE BIGGER THE BETTER....SHORT-RIGGER MOSTLY.....AND IF THERE IS A MAHI WITH 46 MILES OF YA...HE WILL COME CALLING SO IF IT'S BILLS YA WANT YOU BETTER BE ALERT CAUSE OL HARD HEAD WILL FREAKING MESS ONE UP!!!

SO.........I PONDER.......SO WHY HAVE TODAY'S PITDOGS SHYED AWAY FROM OL MANTLE HEAD HIMSELF? WHY-WHY-WHY?

CAUSE DEY BE ADDICTED TO DA ACRYLIC?

DA BOSS MAKES DEM BUY PURTY EL PLASTIQUE?

NOT GLORIFIED ENOUGH? NOT PURTY ENOUGH ?

LAZY?

I'LL TELL YA WHY......THERE'S A FEW REASONS THAT COME TO MY MIND'S EYE HERE......

ONE......IT'S PURE WORK...TIME CONSUMING-MESSY WORK

TWO......YOU CAN COUNT ON RUINING YOUR RIGGING T-SHIRT, BOARD SHORTS AND SPERRYS ALL WITHIN THE FIRST MINUTE OF TWINE TIME

THREE......YOUR HANDS WILL SMELL LIKE YOU JUST WALKED OUT OF A MORROCON BROTHEL FOR A WEEK.....NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO IT

NOPE.........YOU DID NOT LEARN ONE LITTLE OL TIP HERE ON HOW TO RIG A SQUID..... BUT YOU CERTAINLY KNOW TO BRING AN EXTRA CHANGE OF CLOTHES SO YOU CAN GO TO "SEACRETS OR CARNEYS" THAT NIGHT AFTER RIGGING AND A DAY OFFSHORE

Box, Thanks for teaching me to rig the trolling EL' STINKO last year.

I did pull them for 3 days during BFT, but no bites. Rigged just like you showed and they swam right along.

That yellow crap on the rigging table is tough to clean up.

Down here the little squids are fairly popular for dolphin and sails . Most are not elaborate. Just a weight crimped ahead of the hook so the leader is drawn through the tip. The weight rests and hold in place and the hook is placed back in the head. Usually dragged slow they don't last long but can open the mouths on lock jawed fish.
I will sometimes run some of my tired sword squids recycled from trips gone by when working slow looking for a spot to set up. Havn't produced much but has some potential while killing time before the sun starts to go down...

I love trolling them. I don't know many others that do it and they are difficult to find. If I find a tackle shop that has them I normally buy as many as I can.
I have another question for the Box and others- do any of you ever troll octopus? I catch a couple every year and normally rig them up and pull them. I've caught barracuda, kings, and mahi on them. I've never heard of anyone else trolling them and I am confident that they will catch everything out there. Just wondering if anyone else does it-

Oh Geez!!!............Tim, your gonna have to stand in the corner on the first day of class!

Seriously, Da Box taught us how to rig squids in his class.

Anyone who hasn't signed up for his rigging school should get onboard and learn what the Box has to show you with Squids, Ballyhoo, Mac's and much much more.................its well worth it. And to top it off, you can come back later as a graduate and learn more later in case you forgot. I had alot of info placed in between my ears and I hope it stays there til I use it this year!!
