Catching Squid

Hey I noticed people were catching smaller bait sized squid and using them for bait to catch WSB. Does anyone have any tips to catch these guys?
Do you get them on the sabiki?

Any tips are appreciated.

Something like this with a sinker attached is a good place to start. A slow jig up and down. After a while you'll get the hang of it and be able to feel the extra weight when they grab onto the rig. They're small so its kinda hard to feel them grab on at first.

I'd recommend an YOYO Iron on the end of it.

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips guys!

I will definitely consider the yo-yo iron instead of the bullet weight!

Hooking Squid

Where is the best place to hook the squid when you do get them? I never used live squid for bait before usually dead squid pieces.

Thanks for the tips!
