I found an article on [url="http://www.tackletour.com"]http://www.tackletour.com[/url] that provides a very practical explanation of how to go about fishing for Humboldt Squid in California waters. The article was by Zander and was published on 23 Feb 2005.
A rare opportunity...fishing For Humboldt Squid in Northern California

Zander recomends using the 2 foot-long Ahi USA Giant Squid jigs to use as primary baits for giant squid. However it is also possible to make large homemade squid jigs from diamond jigs and bars. The article includes a photo of one such homemade lure.
I also found some impressive photos of the Ahi squid jigs in action on the Ahi USA website - [url="http://www.ahiusa.com/"]http://www.ahiusa.com/[/url]
Here is a sample photo. All credits to Ahi USA.
