It is built the traditional way: a soft cloth-covered body over a reflective scale pattern, giving both the texture a squid expects when it pulls the lure in and the flash that pulls it in from a distance. A balanced lead sinker holds the jig in a stable posture through the drop at a consistent speed, which is the single thing that decides whether a squid commits on the fall. A UV-glow finish, a bright side stripe and feather fins add visibility and movement through lifts, jerks and pauses, and a double-tier crown hook holds tentacles once they close. Sizes #2.5 and #3.0 cover different squid sizes, depths and fall speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft cloth exterior for a natural texture squid will hold onto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV-glow body finish with a reflective scale pattern and high-visibility side stripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced lead sinker for a stable posture and controlled, consistent drop speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeather fins that flutter on lifts and pauses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp double-tier crown hook system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes, #2.5 and #3.0, in nine colour finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSink count to the layer\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cast and let the jig drop on a controlled slack line while counting seconds, adding five each cast. When a squid comes, repeat that exact count. Squid stack in layers and the count is how you go back to one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShakuri jerk and glide\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rod tip low, snap it upward two or three times in quick succession so the jig darts, then drop the tip and let it glide back for several seconds under a gentle bow. The jerks call squid in; the fall is what they take.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever strike\u003c\/strong\u003e — Squid hug the jig with their arms rather than biting. When the line stops falling, goes light or slides sideways, sweep smoothly into the weight — a hard hookset pulls the tentacles apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWind under constant tension\u003c\/strong\u003e — Keep the rod loaded and wind slow and even all the way up. Do not pump the rod; that slack is the usual reason squid drop off at the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV and glow at night\u003c\/strong\u003e — UV finishes reflect the ultraviolet light already in the water and work without charging, including in daylight at depth. Glow must be charged under a lamp or torch and then fades, so recharge between casts. Under lights, work the jig along the dark edge of the lit water where squid wait.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTarget Species By Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoutheast Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bigfin reef squid (sotong torak) and cuttlefish (sotong katak) on candat sotong nights off Terengganu, Pahang and Johor, plus jetty and breakwater squid under harbour lights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNorth America\u003c\/strong\u003e — Market squid off California piers and lit harbours from Monterey to San Diego.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapan \u0026amp;
