I use a squidder float (thats what they are called). I usually have the bait set at a depth of close to a metre above the weed line - this has come from practice - knowing how deep it is in areas i fish. I have the float connected so that a swivel stops it from going too far.
As for the designs. The cage style with hooks on the outside would be ideal. The bait i use are usually about 25cm long, but some of the bigger tommies (Australian Herring) i use are very fat, but i usually cut them down to fit them better on the jag..........
The standard bait hook as in the photo, i dont think works as well - as most of the time it is best set up sticking slightly out to one side of the bait, and if the squid grabs the other side, there is no hook up........
Cant wait for your new stock to arrive..........
Cheers!

SA - the land of the bigger fish. The fish on the east, measure the least, but if you head west, you'll be bringing in the best!!
