Illex Squid (Illex illecebrosus )
Characteristics
Illex Squid are a short lived fish. They can regulate their body color but are usually an orange color with a brown stripe along the top side of the mantle. They are a mild and subtle sweet flavored fish. IIlex are a phenomenal bait as many wild predators such as tuna, striped bass, chilean sea bass and many more fish predate these squid naturally. They withstand the hook test and never fail to produce.
