At this size it is a dropper bait rather than a casting lure: rigged on a short branch above a lead sutte, an ika-metal jig or a sinker, it presents a small, motionless silhouette at a fixed depth, which is what wins bites when squid are following bigger jigs without committing. An internal holographic prism throws a broad, fine flash from a body far too small to make its own vibration, and a glow-accented belly keeps it readable in dim, stained or deep water. Three luminous colours, model code A1696.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to reach for the small one.\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose 48 mm over a full-size sutte when squid are small, the water is clear and calm, the mark is heavily fished, or you are getting followers and short takes on a larger bait. It also stacks well: two or three Mini Auroras on a sabiki-style squid rig cover a spread of depths in one drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating body, 48 mm and 3 g — the small, finesse size in the sutte range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal holographic Aurora prism for flash at low light levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlow-accented belly insert for dim, stained and deep water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight, balanced build so it lifts clear of the mainline on a dropper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree luminous colour codes: L8, L9, L11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRun it above the weight\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tie it on a short branch 30–50 cm above a lead sutte, metal jig or sinker.
