well i would say try using a pennel rig or you can use bait elastic to bind it onto the hook if you just using a single hook.
but i think a pennel rig would be best to be honest.

| The best way to present the squid is by employing a ‘Pennel’ arrangement ( one hook is tied to the end of the hook length , the other hook runs free above it ) whereby two hooks are inserted within the bait - thus improving your chances of hooking the fish.Strong hooks should be used, the ideal hook size 4/0 tied and a 2/0 behind it.To bait up, firstly take the 4/0, insert it in the tail end and push it through the middle of the squid so that the bend of the hook comes out just behind the head. With the shank of the hook still inside the squid, thread the head round the bend of the hook until the point comes through the mouth. The 2/0 hook is then threaded in and out of the tail end three or four times - working towards the middle of the squid - until the entire shank is embedded in it. Ensure that both hook points are clear of the bait and at 90 degrees to it. Finally, to hold the bait in place whip a little fine elastic cotton around both hooks, this is not essential and is only really required if you need to cast the bait a good distance. Clipping the bait down will also prevent the hooks ‘turning’and being obscured by the bait during casting. |

also i normaly gut the squid and pack it full of lug then bait elastic the top so its all packed down nice and tight the hook it on the pennal rig and use more bait elastic to hold it in place then stab the suid all over with a knife or bait needle to let the juices out
hope that helps abit |
