Im with Glen a bit on this one.
I tend to think with shy squid whcich tend to feel the prey a bit with thier candles I believe many may shy off at the razor spines.
Squid are quite agressive and will hold on to a jig for some time and even bite big chunks out of them while not hooked(always on the jig where the vertabrae would be so to disable thier prey and devour at will)
a slight weight increase can be felt ,its then that you should jag him hard .
hey presto well hooked squid.
Some goes for baits AOK. passive fishing under a float is never as succesfull as active handlining.
Regards John
