ok. will go & buy a lantern to try it, thks.Easy. You must have a bright light with you aim it at the water. Sotong attract to bright light. Then use sotong jig cost about $2/pcs drop the jig in the light spot about 1m below the water and no need to put the bait on it.
Yes very fun using light rod max.PE3. Don't use super heavy rod will not be than FUN.
For me if there is lots/group of small sotong I will use net. For big one I will use Sotong JIG.
Take note be careful Sotong will bite U and is very painful(very painful for big one) small one u can try if never being bite before. And also be careful with it black in/liquid will spry out from it head and very hard to wash.
Good luck! Really FUN
