chef -double circle hook rig, depending on size of squid...distance between the hooks. bottom hook gets hooked in the eye, top hook up inside the mantle and feed your leader out the end of the mantle. drift in a rip...... hold on

The one big problem I see with squid would be...everything that swims would want to eat it, so it's "hook longevity" would be short unless bass were near by (I am talking about surf casting of course). If I was fishing it from the surf it would have to be fresh and whole...I don't like small bass, big offering equals... well you know.
I was just wondering if it is common practice and if not, why? Is it because chunking is not that popular?

DJ you are correct, everything eats squid, but for a couple more weeks, everything is not here yet.
Traditionally big bait, big fish, but with squid I find that this is not as true. I like squid under 12 inches long, any bigger is a waist and you will have alot of missed hook sets.
I fish it with a 9/0 Gamagatsu, one time threw the tail end of the body and thats it. Big bass will pick it up, then inhale it, any more times will effect the presentation. No wight is needed 70% if the time and when I do use it, no more the 2oz ( I feel the bass does not need to feel the extra tension the wieght presence) . The bass will usually give it a bump then pick it up and slowly move on her way.Drop the rod tip with the run for about a 3 count then cross her eyes.

BAIT...you are talking "surf" right? Just want to be clear. I would assume a relatively short leader? |

Yes, surf. Leader is about 24'.
Although I have used the basic same technique from the boat with great results.

A couple of my friends chunk squid all the time.....whole squid on a fish finder rig.....they do pretty well with it.
