Metal squids are used by many salt-water fishermen and are especially popular for surf fishing. They can also be used for casting or trolling from a boat in salt water. Metal squids come in various sizes and weights, and in general look somewhat like a small boat with a V-shaped keel. Long and narrow squids are called sand-eel squids because they resemble this saltwater baitfish. Others are shorter and a bit broader, and simulate various baitfish such as spearing or silversides and other salt-water minnows. Still other metal squids are broad and deep and resemble mullet, menhaden, herring, and other deep-bodied baitfish. You'll find plenty of metal squids for sale in the fishing tackle stores near the ocean, especially along the Atlantic Coast. You can buy one of these and make a mold of it. All you have to do, beforehand, is file off the hook and fill the hole where the line is attached with clay or wax or some other substance.
