How to Choose and Use Squid Jigs

A Quick Guide for Squid Fishing in Australia

 

 1. Jig Size Selection: 3.0 vs 3.5

* 3.0 Size: Ideal for calm waters or low-current areas like jetties and piers. Best used on light tackle and slower sinking speed.

* 3.5 Size: Designed for deeper waters, faster drift, or when fishing offshore. Sinks faster, casts farther, better for windy conditions.

 2. When to Use Different Colours

* Bright UV Glow (B-G1 Series): Works well in low light, murky water, or night fishing. UV-reactive body and steel rattle chamber help trigger bites.

* Natural Camouflage (N-G1 Series): Best in clear waters or when squid are under pressure. Mimics real baitfish to reduce suspicion.

 3. Glow Technology Explained

* UV Reactive: Charges under UV torch or sunlight, emits vibrant glow underwater

* Triple Glow (N-G1): Combines UV, laser foil, and subtle body glow—excellent for daylight and full-moon conditions

* Flash Glow (B-G1): High-contrast colours with rattle to attract squid quickly in low visibility

 4. Pro Tips

* Always match jig colour to water clarity and sunlight.

* Use 3.5 when drift is fast or targeting bigger squid.

* Add a UV torch in your tackle box for quick recharge.
