Might be me being stupid but why not just cut now the larger version

NETS in Ryhope had some the other week. They are great, just easy to pick one out and put it on the hook.

I find the smaller squid much better also, finding it hard to get them in seaham now, i like to put 3-4 of them on a hook all whipped up, with tentacles and such hanging out, all seems to do better for me than the larger squid chopped down.

If you can't get the small ones, Ii always use the 4-5 inch tubes cut straight down the middle and bind them around lug worm. This way you still have a squid looking bait with the tentickle and all with the smell of the worm and if your having to cast any distance this preserves your worm really well

I used to get it fresh from Morrisons but not sure if they do it now.

Just been to get some fresh bait for tonight from Flash tackle in Seaton Deleval and they have these squid in.
I bought some so will let you know what they fish like.

Funny you should run a thread on these mini squid. I bought some from AMH angling at Annfield Plain a few weeks ago for a boat trip. I was gutted as they had no big Calamari.
With most of the block left over i took it shore fishing a week or so later and was very impressed with the stuff. After defrosting again it had gone tougher. And it also hooked up much better than the big stuff. Couple of these put on with bait elastic and worm looked the bizz.
I now prefer the smaller squid.
Last block i bought was from the Friarage at Hartlepool. Still got most of it left.

Managed to get a couple ov blocks from ryhope today. They call them Chinese party squid so no doubt you can get them at Chinese supermarket. read they come in three sizes.tiny, small and not so small
cheers again

bought some a couple of weeks back jim, 79p a lb, thought I'd get some to stick in the freezer, but morrisons is always worth a try, as its usually cheaper than the tackle shops

I'd be surprised if Billy hasn't got any, he keeps his freezers pretty well stocked
