Prawn VS Squid

[jackscatch]

hey Guys just wondering wat u think is better

[Kleyny]

Depends on what you are fishing for.

[Mitchie180]

Agree with dory, it completely depends on what you are fishing for and how you use the bait. on an overall basis squid is probably a bit better but woth have there pros and cons

[theclick]

Squid is easier to deal with IMHO

[bballfisho]

depends if they are live ,dead, frozen crappy servo style. on the whole i like squid better

[Crumbo]

Prawn style plastics! :P
Sorry couldn't help myself.::)

[VoodooChile78]

Squid tends to stay on longer but some fish won't touch it...Prawns are good but they don't stay on the hook long...Plus it depends on the fish you are after.

Easy way to fix the prawns staying on the hook.
Shell all of your prawns and put them in a container/jar/bag and pour in about 1inch thick of salt.
Shake it up and leave for 24hours and you have strong prawns that are burleyed up.
I no for a fact that they work becos when Diver whiting fishing last time we had worms,normal prawns and salted prawns. The worms were catching most of the whiting and the normal prawns wont touched while the salted prawns caught 3 40cm+ bartailed flathead and some whiting.
This is a good way to fish prawns.
IMHO. I have to say fresh squid.
VERY VERY VERY easy to work with.

I voted squid, but dependes what where and when youre fishing.

I have been to a spot regularly where i catch heaps of tuskies on prawns and squid wasnt touched. And visa versa. Varies, one day prawns get them one day squid.

both..... on the same hook ?? Na, but depends what we're targeting :)

[barkers creek]

depends wat you are fishing for i guess as dory and mitchie stated

[snelly1971]

Squid for me....

Mick

[Zucchini_bros]

Fresh green prawns for me

[hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

same as dory depends watch species of fish your targetting prawn and squid work good for bream but if i was going for bream i would use squid stays on the hook way longer

[Brucie Boy]

Fresh Green Prawns........Yummy 4 Fish............Not Frozen..........Yukky 4 Fish

[Adamy]

For eating or bait??? Sorry cant decide - love them both!! Ever had small bottle squid pan fried in a Malaysian chilli sauce... YUM!!!

Oh... you mean for BAIT?? No sorry cant do it - thats what PLASTICS are for!!;D;D


Cheers,

Adam

[schoesno1]

i would probably have to go with prawns as salted pilchards are not up there
salt them just the way u can salt prawns
makes them stay on for ages

[juju]

Squid...stays on the hook better...

[jonez]

I vote squid because stays on the hook a lot longer.
you can catch a lot bigger fish on squid.
i throw squid head out for bronzies ive only caught 1 though.
but still depends what your going for

[blu]

use both on the reef happy with both but happiest with cuttle-fish heads

[jackscatch]

Thanks for all your information guys n the dif ways to use it

[Scott nthQld]

I vote prawns, especially live, you will get almost any thing on a big live prawn like, Barra, king and blue salmon, mangrove jack, grunter, bream, cod, even the odd trevally

[NEWBY]

ANYTHING but bloody plastic or rubber baits.
Prawns, Squid, Fish, Octopus or shellfish (muscles oysters etc) JUST NOT PRETEND BAIT....

[Scissors]

I would have to say squid as it will stay on the hook longer when the pickers are around, also alot cheaper than prawns that I am unable to catch myself in my state.
