Squid baits

does anyone use the mini squid? i bought some from tackle shop (they had run out of normal boxes) but have yet to use them. the whole mini squid is no bigger than about 1.5 inches.

If you do do i just hook them once through body or what?? use more than one at once??

i think they are good, hook em the same was a full sized squid(through body n head) and then use bait elastic to hold em on

Hi Folks,

Morrisons sell mini squid at £1.80 a pound.

Cheers

I rate them as a good bait.

I've had bass, cod and whiting on them fished whole or to tip off worms

will you catch anything if you use squid off a beach?And whats the best way of hooking the squid?

yes hook them the same way as ben recomended,
you should catch most species of shore fish,
if you are useing big squid cut them into strips
then hook through the top and wrap it around the hook ,
through the squid again keep going till you get too the end,
you can wrap bait cotton around it or leave it how it is.
