I buy small california squid at the grocery store. I have a mold for a smiling bill jig with a swinging hook. I cut the tip of the body off run the hook up through the body and put it through the head (eyes). Then secure it to the jig with a small rubber band. I have caught large many times doing this. I got the split rings straightened so many times with this rig, I had to modify my mold so I could eliminate the rings. I think you could use an Eel skin rig or a Eel bob to do the same.
