Does anyone have suggestions for fly rod weight/length for squid jigging? 4wt? (Yes I'll be using a spinning reel.) I was hoping to use something I already own instead of buying a spinning rod just for squid.
My cousin enjoys using a 5wt glass fly rod for squid. Just use what you have. It's squidding. No need to make it complicated.Does anyone have suggestions for fly rod weight/length for squid jigging? 4wt? (Yes I'll be using a spinning reel.)

I was wondering if a white squid pattern would work for those guys. The one and only time I caught squid, was when we were jigging for salmon, and there was a school of them near the bottom. No salmon that day, but we did bring home some squid. Best calamari ever,... when fresh.I’ve caught squid beach fishing for SRC’s/ rezzies on white bait fish patterns.....trying to hump my fly! But a 4-5 wt rod would work on piers since you don’t have to cast and they don’t fight.....but very tasty!
