Is there a scent type that you have found effective for the canyon squid this year?

I have found the shrimp flavor Smelly Jelly to be very effective on squid.

Used both Herring and Shrimp Smelly Jelly with great success. Thanks Tonk! I apply it to the jig with a plastic spoon handle. You don't want to get it on you or your clothes as it stays with you for a long time. Also cloth covered jigs(Martinelli) hold the jelly a little better and feels more natural to the Squid. It makes the difference when the Squid are small/tenitive. The Illex(Shortfin) are large and easy to catch when they are around. But the smaller Loligo Squid can be a pain in the a$$. Smaller jigs/4lb. test/smelly jelly will catch them most of the time if they are there.
