I met you on the Edmonds pier on Saturday. Thank you for your kind advice at that time and for sharing this video! I’ll keep practicing. And your friend was very nice to share some squid with us too.
Excellent video for beginners! Hoping you could answer some of my questions. 1 - What size lure to use when the sea is rough? I saw some people using 1 oz jigs (1x or 2x). Is that necessary? 2 - Is it better to use fly rod or spinning rod? 3 - Which spinning reels to use? I like lightweight reels which are 8oz or less for less stress on arms. 4 - Which type of line to use? Is 20lb braid yellow color ok? 5 - Is it better to fish only in dark & with big lights?
1. Even for very rough wave, 1/4 top + 2/3 bottom should be enough; 2. They both work, I prefer fly rod; 3. Any 2000 to 3000 spinning reel 4. I am using 8 lbs test line, mono. 5. Squid like light, that's why you see a lot of lights at the pier. But sometimes you can get them during daytime, I got a lot of them around Christmas during daytime at Seattle pier 69
Great tutorial! Thanks a lot! Regarding the feeling of squid attacking, what you explained is exactly what I felt. I used other people's fly rod with a spinning reel, like your setup. But I didn't see any modification like tape. I don't know much about fish gears. Not sure how it is made.
In some websites they recommend 20lb braid, preferably high vis colors like orange and yellow for night fishing. I noticed that my mono line has coils which causes too much slack in the line. So, the jig does not sink easily and I cannot feel the squid bites because of the slack. I'll try 10lb braid instead of 20lb. I am also looking for light reel (8oz or less) in 2000, 2500, 3000 size. You need to jig a lot in squid fishing. So, your shoulder and hands will hurt if your rod and reel are too heavy and unbalanced.
@@BashiWAFishing - thanks. I did not think about that. I notice many people using very straight line, yellow color and very thick (2-3 mm or so). Is that fly line?
Now that the season is coming to a close (it is mid Jan.), hav u noticed squidding gear (especially expensive Japanese edging rods) drop in price? Thank you Sir
Great video but you would be much easier to understand without the echo in the room. I had to back the video up several times to catch what you were saying. Your English is good…it was the echo in the room that made it hard. Sub’d!!

You can find me at Edmonds almost every Saturday, it's great to see you in person as well as on line :)
Great talking to you yesterday at the pier! Thanks for all the information and thanks again for the joys. I’ll be ordering more from you soon!

Going squidding for the first time this week at Des Moines! Thanks for your helpful information!
Hope you enjoyed it!
I live in Seattle, I'm new to your channel, I really appreciate your content, and information.
Thanks for subbing! I am trying my best to help people.
English subtitle added.
This is very helpful!
Thanks for watching :)
Awesome video, thank you! Good information, this is exactly what I needed to know
I am happy that this can help people ;)
Great tips! thanks!
Glad you like it :)
Thanks for the tips
Great tutorial! Thanks a lot!

It might be a every small reel, or you friend might changed some part on the fly rod.
Bashi Sports Xu I bought a fly rod and a 1000 reel separately. Luckily the reel fits the rod, though it doesn’t fit perfectly. You are right.
Very informative 👏 😊
Glad it was helpful!

Very helpful 👌🏼
Thanks for the support!
nice advice mate
And may I also get some recommendations on reel and fishing line? Thanks a lot!
2000 to 3000 spinning reel will work, I am using 8 lbs test line
In some websites they recommend 20lb braid, preferably high vis colors like orange and yellow for night fishing. I noticed that my mono line has coils which causes too much slack in the line. So, the jig does not sink easily and I cannot feel the squid bites because of the slack. I'll try 10lb braid instead of 20lb.

@@DavidS-vi2xn I would like less than 10 lbs for the main line, if you get tangled with others, braid line is a nightmare.
@@BashiWAFishing - thanks. I did not think about that. I notice many people using very straight line, yellow color and very thick (2-3 mm or so). Is that fly line?
@@DavidS-vi2xn I believe you are talking about the 15 lbs mono line, I used that line for shad fishing; For squid, I suggest less than 10 lbs mono
I went squid fishing and I diddnt have a squid jig but I got lucky and found a broken one on the ground and caught 2 squid in the next hour
I got 8.2 lbs at thanksgiving night at Edmonds in 1.5 hours :)
@@BashiWAFishing dang dude I go to edmens but I can hardly catch anything #washington gang
@@helpinghand3438 I might not go again this season, but next season you can join me, I have light and generator, I will show you how I do it
@@BashiWAFishing I've never gone at night and I kinda wanna try it

Not really, good rods hold their vaule quite well.
Love it
Does the rod have to be fast action? One experienced guy on the pier where I went the other night recommended a fast action, 8-ft rod.
BTW, I couldn't find the crappie hunters, 10 ft rod you recommended on amazon.com
The rod need to be very light and sensitive
@@QinglingLu0402 I just seared again on amazon, seems it's not there any more
Bashi Sports Xu thanks!😀
@@QinglingLu0402 I found that fishing pole on amazon again, but youtube won't let me add the link into comment, email me bashilure@gmail.com

Thanks man for the feedback, I realized it after recording the video. I have added the English subtitle, hopefully that will help.
You are right!!! Shimp jig never works!
Yes, it won't work in puget sound
Hi mate could you put a new link for your jigs as current one not working. Warm regards
Thanks my friend, are you able to access this link: www.ebay.com/itm/373497121085
