Squid presentation? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What are the various presentations you use for squid? Live, dead, plastic?? Just curious for some new ways of rigging these suckurs up.

Droppa Loop! Hook them at the top of the mantle. Fish suck them up like Angel Hair Pasta.

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.

Everyone is going to know I paid you to say that

Hey it works for me, probably 75% of squid fish I get are on that rig. I got that black on it our last trip and there is no way in hell I could of landed that fish with a standard dropper.

Yeah the standard dropper is not a 100% knot, and since it weakens the line I kinda came up with my own substitute.

It's a 100%, slides when bit, and seems to get bit better with a higher hookup when the Yellows are around.
