Quoted from Japanese Anglers Secrets (http://www.anglers-secrets.com/tip-r...ter-squiding):
"Tip Run Eging is done from a free drifting boat of which one side is facing upwind. You fish on the side that’s facing upwind. If the wind is blowing from south and the boat is drifting toward north, you stand on the south side.
The depth is usually 10m to 30m.
You drop the jig right underneath. By the time the jig touches the bottom, you have drifted away for some distance. You jerk and crank to the designated depth, usually 3m to 10m above the bottom. And you hold it. Watch the tip for any sign of faint contact. Keep the rod perpendicular to the line.
The drifting boat pulls the jig, moving horizontally through the water. The rod tip is tensioned by the drag. Squids can come and take away the jig, like a fish. Or, they can come and, with the tentacles, hold the jig for a moment. They can be suspicious. They hold and examine Egi, and eventually let it go. That’s right. They have hands!! They don’t go straight with the mouth. They are clever too."
