Reel type
Re: Reel type
What reel, line or braid and length rod you use?
Re: Reel type
I run a rovex squid wrangler 7”6 rod with a Shimano sienna 2500 reel and 4kg braid, I squid from the boat and I can cast the thing into next week with little effort at all full setup under $120
Re: Reel type
The reel won't make much difference to the distance, the rod, line type and jig weight will however.
2015/16 Species comp total: 289cm
Brown Trout: 37cm
Flathead: 51cm; Squid: 36cm; Australian Salmon: 51cm; Snapper 46cm; Silver Trevally 23cm; KGW: 45cm

Re: Reel type
Also use a 2.5k Stradic with 8lb braid for my squid. Get good distance
Re: Reel type
I use 25lb braid and 20lb leader when squidding. Cast a 3.5 jig 40+ metres.
Braid thickness. Leader knot. Guide type, rod length, rod style, reel and jig size all play a part. That 25lb line is a pe1.2 or 6lb mono equivalent. I fish heavy ground from time to time and would prefer to bend out prongs than to lose jigs.
