How to work it
The Squid Snatcher is a slow-sinking jig best worked near the surface with a gentle, rhythmic lift-and-drop retrieve.
Lower it on slack line, then raise the rod tip steadily to draw the jig upward, pause, and allow it to sink again-this mimics wounded baitfish and triggers squid strikes.
The slower descent keeps the lure in the strike zone longer, giving squid time to respond.
Fish it in various light conditions and water clarities; the range of sizes (2.0-3.5) lets you match local squid preferences and adjust for current strength.
