Trolling squid is so often overlooked. It there are squid in the area, a trolled squid will outfish a skip swimming fish baits, and certainly a lure every time. The method presented here might seem to be difficult, however, if you are prepared the task is easily done and the strains of trolling will not affect the presentation. The squid will hold its form for many hours of trolling, and the rig will catch more fish than any lure. When quid are about, there is no better bait. Your ability to not only catch squid but also present it well as a bait, will dramatically increase your catch rate. 1. Twisting, a length of tie wire (0.8mm) makes pull through. Making it at least the length of your squid, or use a baiting needle. Make a small incision in the underbelly of the squids hood about one third the length of the hood in from the tail.
2. Pass your needle or twisted wire up through the hood and out the incision to collect the leader.
3. Pull the leader through to the head end and attach the hook.
4. Pass the point of the hook through the back of the squids head and out between its eyes then tuck the hooks shaft up under the hood and gently apply tension to the line, removing and slack.
5. Take a length of wire, passing it up through the hood. At the tail make a loop by passing the wire back down through the hood and bringing it back out through the original entry at the tail.
6. Lay the wire ends back along the leader and twist the shorter of the two ends firmly around both the other wire end and the leader.
7. Twist the tag off at the first wraps and then twist the second wire end firmly along the leader. Remove its tag.
