The squid jig from Shimatsu is a classic squid lure with additional hooks on the top. It is designed to secure the squid, which often wraps around the body from the sides. The same applies to the octopus, which cannot be held without proper hooks, especially if its size is large.

The value of the squid jig's efficiency lies in its good weighting. When the squid jig is on the bottom, the large hook hovers above the seabed, making snagging more difficult and the appearance of the squid jig more enticing.
