storm or tsunami shads work well when the fish are on squid, I think it may have more to do with bait size than anything else. white, chart., & red. Jigging / pop & stop retrieve was the ticket

I like these, pretty heavy when using the Hogy Doublewide baits. Making them is pretty fun too.

The original post was asking about what you use at night to imitate squid. You guys all use a polaris popper at night? I wouldn't even have one in my bag when I go out at night.

I've not tried it, but there are some who have with impressive results.

I know poppers can work at night, as I've caught on them when fish have been feeding on top and I worked the plug very slowly, creating a v on the surface. I would be surprised if all three posters here were doing that to imitate squid, though.

Sorry I missed that part. I've done well with that plug, specifically a fat boy Polaris that T.O. made, at daybreak when squid (and butterfish) were present.

At night I would probably throw a large white needle, same deal with the siwash and feathers. Or a large white danny. Or eels. Depends on where I'm fishing...

I've swam the older, white 3 oz Atom poppers with same hook arrangement on a full moon and got some decent fish but had no idea if they were on squid

I appreciate all the responses.

I assume the squid we are most likely to see inshore here is the Atlantic Shortfin?
