Live Bait
Live Squid
One of the top baits for larger structure-oriented species. Seasonal and not always available at bait shops, worth calling ahead before a trip that depends on it.
How to Rig It
Hook through the collar just behind the head, avoiding the ink sac, to keep it lively.
Storage
Needs an aerated bait tank, live squid is fragile and short-lived once out of open water.
