Actually, squid is probably one of the best, universal baits there are. Rather it's trolled whole or used as cut bait, i'd bet pound for pound it's produced more trophy fish that most all other baits, maybe combined.
When rigged properly, it makes irratic movements trolled and is irrisistable to many offshore species. I've caught everything from Mahi Mahi, amberjack, and kings, all the way up to sailfish and stray white marlin.
There isn't a better bait for black sea bass and other similar bottom feeding species.
If i'm taking the boat to the reef, there are two thing I don't even put the boat in the water with out; Chum and squid.
