The body carries its own lead, so it sinks nose-down under control even when tide pushes across the boat, and the luminous glow finish charges under a torch or deck light and keeps working below the depth daylight reaches. What separates it from a plain crown jig is the hook geometry: twelve stainless-steel points sit in a crown around the tail, each bent inward rather than left straight, so as a squid wraps its tentacles and pulls, the points draw toward the centre instead of sliding out. A strong central binding ring holds the crown evenly spaced under that load, and three weights cover the difference between a sheltered jetty and a deep drift in running water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted sutte-style squid and octopus jig, fished vertically rather than cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwelve-point stainless-steel hook crown for tentacle contact from several angles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved (bending) point geometry that draws inward as the squid pulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLuminous glow body that charges under a torch, headlamp or deck light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop line eye for direct connection to leader, snap or dropper rig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree weights — 25g, 35g and 55g — across five body colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePick the weight for depth and current\u003c\/strong\u003e — 25g suits shallow, slack water: lit jetties, harbour walls and calm anchored drops where a heavier jig falls past the squid. 35g is the general boat weight for moderate depth with some tide. 55g is for deep marks, strong current or wind, where a lighter jig blows off vertical and you lose contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop, find bottom, then search upward\u003c\/strong\u003e — Touch down, wind up two or three turns and start working.
