The best way to rig them is to first scale the fish and make a slight cut near the head. This method only works if sitting it out under a float, as when attacked by a squid they attack the back of the head and the scales come off, so if a squid sees it it looks naturally dead, as they think another squid has killed it!
I always rig head at the spikes cause it is easier when it is frozen, but listening to you guys i might have to turn them around, as i quite often dont hook squid - i have reduced the size of the tommies i use now though, and it seems to lead to a better hook up rate!
Heading to the Bluff (Rosetta Head) in Victor Harbour South Australia saturday night, so ill come back to tell you how i went!
Cheers!
