Hiya
A BIG white or brownish coloured squid works very well for YF, especially if pulled very, very far behind the boat. I pull a BIG squid with a bird more than 40m behind my boat!! How-ever, i prefer the slightly smaller squids, as they tend to catch a larger variety of fish. The BIG squids only seem to attract the attention of 50kg+ YF's, whilst the smaller ones attract ALL the gamefish, regardless of their size. That said, i have caught 2-3kg albacore on the big squids. Looks ridiculous, as the squid is almost as big as the albacore!! Makes me wonder what the fish intended to do with the squid, bigger than itself, when it caught it...........

BTW does anyone bother adding extra weight (to cast further) when using Rapala-style lures?

Depends on how much more weight you need. If its a little more weight, simply change your treble hooks to heavier treble hooks. Be careful on not going to heavy or too large on the trebles, as this will most likely spoil the lures action. For more weight, we simply wrap some soldering wire around the shank of the treble. Once again, ensure that you don't overload your lure.
