Squid fishing continues to grow in popularity among Australian anglers, and having the right squid jig can make all the difference between a quiet session and a productive one. At Ocean's Legacy, our squid jig range has been carefully developed to provide anglers with premium options for a variety of conditions, locations, and fishing styles. Whether you prefer the natural presentation of a clothed squid jig or the durability and unique action of a hard body design, Ocean's Legacy offers a squid jig to suit your needs.
Understanding the Structure of a Squid Jig
Every squid jig is designed to imitate a baitfish or prawn, triggering the predatory instincts of squid. While colours and finishes may vary, the fundamental structure remains the same.
The body provides the profile and swimming action, while the internal weighting system determines sink rate and balance. The keel helps stabilise the jig during retrieves and on the drop, ensuring a natural presentation through the water column. At the rear of the jig, strategically designed crowns provide secure hook-ups while minimising damage to the squid, helping keep them attached throughout the fight.
The combination of balance, sink rate, action, and crown design is what separates a premium squid jig from an average one, and every Ocean's Legacy squid jig is engineered to deliver maximum performance on the water.
Two Styles, One Goal
Ocean's Legacy offers two distinct styles of squid jigs: Clothed Squid Jigs and Hard Body Squid Jigs.
Clothed Squid Jigs
Clothed squid jigs feature a premium fabric exterior that creates a more natural appearance and texture in the water. The cloth material helps diffuse light, enhances colour presentation, and provides squid with a surface they can confidently grab onto when attacking.
These jigs are highly effective in clear water, pressured fisheries, and situations where squid are feeding cautiously. The lifelike finish and subtle presentation make clothed jigs a favourite among dedicated eging anglers.
Hard Body Squid Jigs
Hard body squid jigs offer a completely different approach. Built around a durable hard shell construction, they provide exceptional longevity and resistance to damage from repeated strikes and rough terrain.
The rigid body design often produces a more aggressive darting action and can be highly effective when squid are actively hunting. Hard body jigs also maintain their appearance over time and are ideal for anglers fishing rocky coastlines, reefs, and structure-heavy environments.
When to Use Each Style
While both styles catch squid exceptionally well, certain conditions may favour one over the other.
Choose a Clothed Squid Jig When:
- Fishing clear water conditions.
- Targeting cautious or heavily pressured squid.
- Presenting a more natural bait profile.
- Fishing during calm conditions or slower bite periods.
Choose a Hard Body Squid Jig When:
- Fishing rough terrain and structure.
- Targeting aggressive feeding squid.
- Looking for maximum durability.
- Fishing areas where repeated contact with rocks and reef is common.
Many experienced anglers carry both styles and switch between them depending on conditions, allowing them to adapt throughout the session.
A Range of Sizes and Colours
Ocean's Legacy squid jigs are available in a variety of sizes and carefully selected colour patterns to suit different conditions and squid behaviour.
Different sizes allow anglers to match local bait profiles, fish varying depths, and adapt to current strength. Smaller jigs excel in shallow water and when squid are feeding selectively, while larger models provide increased casting distance, faster sink rates, and greater visibility.
The colour range has been developed to cover everything from bright daylight conditions to low-light sessions around dawn, dusk, and night fishing. From natural baitfish patterns to highly visible attractor colours, there is an option for every scenario.
