Quick take
A No. 3 squid jig with luminous pink glow and a lead sinker designed to sink slowly and attract squid with vertical jigging.
Best for
- Squid jigging in saltwater at night or in deep water
- Anglers targeting smaller squid with light tackle
- Jigging presentations where a slow sink is ideal
Skip if
- You fish freshwater; this is squid-specific
- You need a faster-sinking lure
Strengths
- Glow paint attracts squid in low light
- Lead sinker and cloth wrap mimic natural squid lures
- Small size works for jigging in crowded areas
Trade-offs
- Squid jigs are species-specific and don't catch fish
- Small size limits depth and casting distance
- Luminous paint may fade with heavy use

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
