Cool

A little different eh, Anthony?...

...being a squidder', you know the squid don't spend much time on the "hook"...so this bait would last ya almost all night....so preparing a few beforehand....would prove very successful!!

...I catch most of my squid on the downfall also...(as the lure drops)...by watching your line...you can pretty much count the time it takes to tighten up....then jig again, when you notice slack in your line when there shouldn't be...9 times out of 10..."SQUID ON!!!" ...If your fortunate to find some spots that are already lit up, (light poles on a dock ).. you can catch em' by eye!!!.this is when you can really figure out they're attack...

...You must be careful handling the Squid due to the beaks that they have...the best way to remove it from the jig is to grab the top of the jig, and turn it upside down...(this being one of reasons that the jig hooks don't have barbs)..it will slide right off. Also keep in mind that when they darken up (start changing colors) ...it's Gusher-time...HERE COMES THE INK MAN!!!....NO NOT TATTOO

a couple of other things....."LIGHTS DEFINATELY HELP"..they also attract small baitfish, which inturn attract squid. As far as the knot, any knot you feel comfortable with will suffice.....Odds are, your not going to catch a 20# squid ...that's FishEye's job!
