[quote name='Nautilusly' post='8530' date='Apr 27 2007, 11:46 AM']I know what you mean, thats why i dont eat when i am fishing (dont feel hungry anyway <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':moped:' /> ) there are jigs with weight inside, or weight covered in protective paint -- these jigs would suit your purpose better? bait fishing is fine but it could get messy, i would prefer jigs over bait.
Hmm, not sure about the squids in Northeast US, but if they are just spawing and not interested in food, the chance of catching them with either jig or bait would be pretty slim i guess <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I have some customers that have tried using baited squid jigs on the east coast, and have found them to work QUITE well!!!! A lot easier than tossing jigs, as you don't need to work the bait, just wait for them to take off with it. Some of my local customers (west coast USA) have even found that they get the bigger squid with the baited jigs. Granted, when you got the squid in a feeding frenzy, they will grab everything in sight, but offering a local baitfish is a lot of fun too!!! They come in for spawning, but until they get to that actual location and TIME that they will spawn, they will keep eating, and they do love eating a lot!!! Generally about a 4"-6" bait works well.
