razorfish, can be a good bait depending on where your fishing. you keep the fleshy leg inside and throw away the rest. can be used whole for cod,bass etc or for tipping off worm baits. often best fished after a good blow. leave to go off a bit for best results.

Webbyweb where are you located? I suggest that you find out what you nearest local club is and join it or at least go along and see how they do it. This is the best advice I can give any newbie. You will learn alot in a small space of time this way.

I wouldn't think squid on its own would not be the best of cod baits from the shore but this is how I might rig it up. Mount the squid on a 3/0 pennel rig passing the bottom hook through the squid twice. With the hook passing through the eyes on the second passing, then pass the top hook in an inch from the top of the squid.

A good site to find out about all the different baits and how to use them is http://www.worldseafishing.com.

Best of luck with your fishing.
