Sport Fishing
Slip ‘Em a SquidSquid rank high on the list of forage species preferred by game fish around the world, but anglers often opt for other baits that are quicker and easier to rig. Now you can rig one of these slippery mollusks in a matter of seconds with The Squid Rig from B&L Designs.The stainless-steel frame slips inside the squid to hold the 7/0 Mustad hook in position, eliminating the need for threading and sewing leaders. On-the-water testing shows the Squid Rig tracks well when trolled at 3 to 5 knots, attracting dolphin, wahoo, tuna and sailfish.Northeastern anglers are catching stripers and bluefish on the rig, while West Coast fisherman report excellent results jigging for lingcod and trolling for albacore, salmon and halibut. The small rig fits squid up to 6 inches; the medium size works in 7- to 12-inch squid. Squid Rigs retail individually for about $12, or in combo packs (containing one of each size) for about $18.
