When fishing for mackerel with the C-6000i and a stripper, the squid
program is selected (see the section “SCREEN ONE – Squid Settings” on
page 19) and the special parameters on screen one adjusted as described later
in this section. The leader usually has 30-70 hooks approximately 30-40cm
from each other. The length of the leader (and consequently the number of
hooks) depends on how long a line the pulleys can accommodate. The same
thing applies as for squid fishing i.e. the hooks can never be reeled onto the
drum.
The hooks used for mackerel fishing are not the same as used for
conventional jigging. They are smaller and usually only red colored artificial
bait (rubber) is used. Figure 13 shows an ordinary jigging hook size 12, an
EZ-14 jigging hook and a mackerel hook compared to the size of a stop ring.
When the mackerel has been spotted underneath the boat the line is paid out
until it reaches the same depth as the mackerel. Then a false bottom is set at
that depth. Now, the reel will start hauling the line and it will continue to do
so until it reaches zero depth. Then it stops for a while (see RELEASE
