Hello Capt. (The BEAST) Jim.

I still can't figure out how to do this picture posting drill so I'll describe it to you.

Basically the eye and full length of the shank are inserted upwards into the cavity next to the hard plastic at the joint where the eye sticks-out, and the bend in the bite of the hook rests right above the eye when it is seated in place. About 80%-90% of the bite width of the hook extends clear of the body of the squid and the hook eye rest at the very top of the molded cavity inside the squid.

That damn 10/0 Juba hook-bite looks BIG sitting outside the body of the squid at just above it's eye, but I swear it looks like it will hang right and really have allot of point exposed for the catching.

If you can visualize this contraption how do you think the Swordies will feel about it...? It sure is quick to put together and it looks about good-enough to eat.

Thanks for your insight, Steve
