Which size to choose?

It is advisable to choose the size of your jig according to the size of the prey surveyed in the area: the larger the jig, the larger squid it yields.
A more complex parameter, the size of the jig influences the rate of descent. Squid being present on several layers of water, you must prospect until you find the most suitable one. When you choose your jig, memorize its rate of descent (usually specified on its packaging). After launching your jig, wait for the number of seconds required for it to be close to the bottom from the beginning of your animation and subtract 2 seconds at each throw: the goal is to prospect the entire water layer.
For example, a size 1.5 jig measures 4.5 cm in length and weighs 3g, its descent rate is 9 seconds per meter while a size 4.5 jig (which measures 16 cm and weighs 33 g) allows you a descent rate of 2.2 seconds per meter.

For more attractive jig

It is possible to add attractant to your lure. Squid, fish, sardine etc. gel can make the difference.
The same is true for some stickers that may increase the visual attractiveness of your jig or phosphorescent jigs that reflect light and UV.
