: Squish shortage and cost.

Squid are hard to find on the cheap anymore. Ranch 99 and Zion have them at $3.99 a lb and they are huge. No doubling up on those things. They are the whole length of the container. Zion has them in a $10 box and 99 in a smaller tray.

Pull the head off alone for a good bass bait.

Nothing's free... unless you plan on kayaking out there to jig them up.  That's still a haul in a boat.  lol

Personally I'm really liking the Humboldt squid. Getting them for $2 a lb and they're tough as nails.

Start buying the larger type and cut down 6" strips. OG style. Might be cheaper that way. We did that with Humbolt's a while back and it was pure candy.

I always send Tony or Denny in at the asian market.  Last year $11.99 for 5 lbs, this year $14.99 and last Friday it was $19.99   :-X

I've used the oversized ones and they are tough suckers. Best success with squish is one with the head on. The giants I have gotten bites on the had alone.

I get the little packs of squish heads for small fare.

Allergies have knocked my ass off the water for a while now.  >:( >:(
