O...C, if a wingless profile would suit, the Do-it Spearhead & Spire Point salt water styles, among others, come close to a squid head shape. I've tried a squiddy tie on a Spearhead, and it caught.
A huge aho, equivelant maybe to a 7# EP, would be 12". Common size is around 5-7", and my target size, at this point wishful, is 7"+. Very similar preferred estuary habitat & nocturnal activity patterns, prob related. Ahos even have the gill plate spike. So, small mouth lil' ahos need a small hook jig that can nonetheless be cast and handled in windy wave surge conditions - I'll be trying a new 1/16 oz. #8 hook version as soon as wave bash relents from life threatening. With no estuarine environment, ahos rest daytime in depressed areas in rocky shallows that waves wash over, & they don't inhabit, perhaps due to depletion, holes within reach of a throw net which is about the range of a 1/32 jig against in-your-face wind.
Yah, tho sharkbite is probably less likely than a car accident, its still unnerving to be in the water at the site of an attack. A tiger once bumped my paddle board fishing in an isolated murky water cove. Never been so scared in my life! I would think deep water surrounded bomboras would be especially unsettling.
