About this piece
The Major Craft Live Squid is a 4-inch squid imitation that combines a fluttering fin design with articulated tentacles for a lifelike swimming action. It effectively mimics both the visual appearance and movement of a live squid, triggering strikes from a wide range of predatory fish. This versatile soft bait can be rigged on jigheads, tairaba rigs, or used as a trailer to target species from bottom-dwelling rockfish to pelagic bluewater gamefish.
