Live Squid for Dollys

I'm assuming they would work well but wondering if anyone has used them?

i get this ever growing feeling that people here seem enjoy answering questions with questions..... if i asked what stick bait should i use for dollys i wonder if i would get the answer just use liveys its much more fun and easier as you get to catch the fish put them in an on boat aquarium watch them swim around then feed them to bigger fish, you could even keep a few of the smaller fish name the larry curly and mo and start a fish based comedy routine.....

 DO NOT put herring in with squid unless the squid are tiny. Squid will kill anything in the tank have had it happen so many times. Would be a killer live bait though! Even drop it down below the dollies and see what kind of nasty is waiting for scraps below.
