Squid spikes

[Shrimpy]

Hi Fat Tuna - I am fish commercially hook & line for cuttlefish, squid & octopus.  I found squid spikes (not for iki-jimi but for baiting with fish) in Autrailia & got them sent mail order to me in UK.  A number of outlest do them there 0 Both metal https://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/pro...pikes.html & also plastic - The plastic ones are being marketed as 'Squidators' although I am struggling myself to find them right now.  Real simple to use & highly effective I use whole fresh mackerel as bait & often 'pods' come up simply holding the bait without being prickled.

 

I've put up underwater footage of cuttles going for squid jigs here in Cornwall:  https://youtu.be/Oqfozsq8ngM

 

Hope the info might help & the vid is of interest.
