Title: Squidding
Post by: mainer78 on November 22, 2013, 06:45:46 AM: Have any of you guys tried squidding? I'm going to be in Tacoma Saturday night and was thinking about hitting up the Pt Defiance Pier to try my hand at it? What gear do you use. Regular steel head rod work fine?

steelheadless, I am curious why you say be careful in the parking lot. Sometimes I take very expensive street rods down there at night and walk out on the dock. Something I should know?
