Hi
all
Although I do agree with both of you and I have always baited my jigs tail end first, the theory that squid attack from behind is challenged
According to some pro's squid attack fish from the side and wrap their tenticles around the fish;s body just behind the head.
The theory of baiting jigs tail end first is so that there is enough clearance
for the squid to hook itself between the hooks and the bait
if you bait a jig head firts you will find that the head of the bait gets pushed into the jig lowering your chances of a better hookup, but I have found the old die hard squid fisho;s insisting that you should bait a jig head first and thats why alot of guys use double headed jigs. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' />
And I still say baited jigs are the only way to fish for squid
