Radarsrus,
I started fishing with the Williamson squid since they first came out. Pink is the only color that works for me and it works so well that I put at least one out in every spread. Sometimes I put a small piece of squid on the hook to sweeten it a bit but it gets worked over very often. The NEW Berkley 10" gulp squid in the bubble gum pink color is awesome too. On one trip both of the fish that we caught were on this artificial. I simple impaled a circle hook through the mantle between the wings and let her rip. They don't slash the artificials and then leave them in a ball on your hook.
When I fish for fun with family and sometimes even with my friends I use strictly artificial. We still get the bites!
