The concept

Lure fishing for squid and cuttlefish

Squid and cuttlefish are cephalopods, and they are caught on jigs rather than bait. During the session you are shown the techniques, and the skipper builds the trip around your skill level.

Our expert skipper uses many types of lures and methods: squid jigs for cephalopods, cast, vertically jigged or bounced along the bottom.

The tackle

Our lure tackle

All tackle aboard for lure fishing was purchased with fun in mind. The reels are Okuma Solaterra SLX 10CSB loaded with SFX8 carrier braid, paired with Ugly Stik rods. End tackle is available on the trip.
