Egg sinker directly on the line, tie a hook on, then hook through the top of the mantel, twist the hook to face the squid and come back through a bit lower. If you do it right it provides a natural presentation with no kinks in the squid.

There is also the JD (Jim Day) dropper. He uses a small piece of clear tube, that is just big enough in size to slide on the line. He puts the tube on, ties a hook to the main line, and ties a 1 to 2-1/2 foot piece of about 10 pound line to the clear tube and the sinker goes on the other end of the 10 pound.
