[quote name='Chick3n' date='May 29 2005, 07:44 PM']By a strip of the hood does that mean you clean out the guts?[/quote]
nah i generally just cut where the hood ends and then cut wide rings and make strip baits from that, if the strip bait needs to be longer then slice open the hood <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' /> leaving any guts etc attached to the hood should act as natural berley <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' />
i leave the beak in place, i use a 2hook rig with one hook snelled (as Jaz described) and place one hook in the head with the point of the hook well exposed and then the bottom hook goes into the thickest tentacle...
flatties will take a hook with no bait sometimes,... squid is ideal for flatties cause you wont have to rebait as often as you would with pillies and other softer baits <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' />
thats what the site is here for, if you get a chance tell us how you go...
