I find a sharp jab with the side of your hand just behind the eyes kills them and instantly turn white.

just get a knife and stab the squid on the top of the eye pockets either side and puts them to sleep.

The act of killing in and of itself is inhumane, so really the question is "What methods of killing a squid best preserve it for dead bait or consumption?".

Hi Glen
I think your 'tool' destroys the squid's brain. If you insert 4-5cm then twist, I reckon you'd be in the right spot to wreck the brain, according to this pic I found.

I just slide my finger under its head and rip it out, that way you got no mess when you get home!

I recently saw a chap on tele, he separated with his fingers where the back of the head (upper part) meets the body. The connective tissue is so small there
it severs easily with a pinch from index finger and thumb. Â The squid turned white nearly instantly. Simple enough no tools required.
