Squid Jigs & Accessories

Squid Jigs & Squid Fishing Accessories

Squid jigs are purpose-built lures designed to imitate baitfish and prawns, making them essential for targeting calamari, arrow squid and other cephalopod species around Australia's bays, estuaries, reefs and coastal waters. Whether you're fishing from the shore, a jetty, kayak or boat, quality squid jigs can dramatically improve hook-up rates and catch success.

At Anglers Warehouse, you'll find a wide range of squid jigs in proven colours, sink rates and sizes, along with essential squid fishing accessories including jig cases, replacement cloths, clips, swivels and specialised tackle. From shallow-water weed beds to deeper reef edges and broken ground, the right squid jig helps you cover more water and present naturally to feeding squid.

How To Choose

Select smaller 2.0–2.5 size jigs for smaller squid and calmer conditions, while 3.0–3.5 size jigs are the most popular all-round options for targeting calamari. Larger models are suited to deeper water, stronger currents and larger squid.

Natural colours perform well in clear water and bright conditions, while bright, glow and UV patterns can be highly effective in low light, dirty water and night fishing. Consider sink rate based on water depth and the amount of current you're fishing.
