I put the head near the hooks, as the squid attacks behind the head, as i said, so it is closer to the hooks - i also usually use frozen baits, so obviously, its easier to go through the mouth.
As for bait sizes - they have to be legal size, and i use garfish, which need to be 23cm, so........ They are a very thin fish though........ They dont usually fit on the pins i use, so i cut them down to size, but generally the pin part is about 20cm, then the hooks are extra. Usually the pin is totally inside the fish, and i use a snap swivel to connect it to my line....... Ill take a fish from my freezer that i have for next time i go squidding and set it up to show you what i mean.........
I havent been able to get around to taking all the photos.........Ill try and get them done this week - ill get a photo of the pins i have, plus my float set ups......
It will be easier to explain with photos - ill see if i have time today.....
Cheers!

SA - the land of the bigger fish. The fish on the east, measure the least, but if you head west, you'll be bringing in the best!!
