I use small arrows for bait - Californian squid they are called, and I know of at least one person whom caught an 83cm Mulloway on one, but i am yet to catch a fish on them. Most shop bought squid (like frozen in boxes style) is arrow squid - most likely imported from overseas, and i dont think it tastes too bad. The markets in SA all sell southern calamari - i am yet to find arrow squid for sale - its not very common at all in SA......
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!!
