Squid from Chinese supermarkets are cheaper and superior quality to tackle shops. I would not be without it and wrap my mackerel and sand eel with half a calamari as a more crab resistance bait. Whole squid can be a killer bait for Huss and conger on the Shannon Estuary. Smaller sand eel with a strip of squid is an excellent distance bait. I never defrost my baits until I am going to use them. I leave squid out on the trip to the mark so I can pull them apart. Bait defrosts quickly in the summer and slowly in the winter. That maybe obvious but dealing with a frozen block of squid in January is no fun😏
