Squidder freespooling

[bestout]

Hey yooo guys!  I like the hook method and it worked for me as well.  Thanks for bustin open your squidder to show me how.  I didn't feel like grinding a screw driver but the hook worked perfect.  Now my cast timing needs some practice.  I am going out this coming Teusday for Cali Yellowtail and that's my first go-to rig.

As long as you are monitoring this string...what are the McMasters numbers on stainless flat head screws for a jigmaster handle side ring for the posts?  Or remind me of where the tank lesson where you shared that information.  I can't find it.

yup its alot of freespool time without the shields but am afraid ill get soo many birdsnest ohh well

WOTHoyt, I believe these are it:

If you're using a Tiburon frame, I would get 1/2" in length, i you're not, you might still need to file down the 1/4" screw a little, but you could probably get away as is.


Bestout, if it gets out of hand, try these :

That's awesome!  Thanks for the legwork. 

I am using a used Newell graphite seat/clamp and like to use longish screws to keep things square and tight.  I'll be able to find them from the page you pasted for me.  The Newell graphite seat/clamps are lower on the pole than the aluminum versions.  They help me a lot because I got me sum stubby, sausage lookin, nubbinses for fingers and it just makes life easier.  Besides level winds are for kids and women.

Sal, aluminum is non magnetic, but is does interact with magnets. I wonder if the spinning spool has what they call the Lenz Effect or if the magnets are slowing down the clicker gear ? I like it and may have to try this on one of my jigmasters
