The Lead Masters Squid Jig Glow is a purpose-built squid catcher for catching live squid for bait from a boat. The barbless spikes on the sides of the jig snag squid on the drop-through retrieve and release them easily into the bait tank — no barbs means no struggling to remove squid from the jig and no damaged bait. The integrated glow sinker body gets the jig down fast without any additional weight, and the glow attracts squid toward the jig in low-light and night conditions when squid are most active near the surface and at depth. Available in two Magnum models: 4 oz (Model 338) and 7.5 oz (Model 638). 1 per pack.

Note: Additional shipping charges may apply for larger sizes.

Key Features

• Barbless Spikes — Easy Squid Release into Bait Tank — The spikes on the sides of the jig are barbless; when squid are snagged on the drop-through retrieve, the barbless spikes allow the squid to slide off easily into the bait tank without struggling to remove them from the jig; barbless spikes also reduce damage to the squid during removal, keeping bait in better condition for fishing; the spike configuration is designed to snag squid efficiently on the upward retrieve through a squid school.
• Integrated Glow Sinker Body — No Additional Weight Needed — The jig body is a weighted glow sinker that provides the mass needed to drop through the water column quickly without any additional sinker or weight; the glow body attracts squid toward the jig in low-light and night conditions; charge the jig under a UV light or flashlight before each drop for maximum glow intensity; the integrated weight eliminates the need for a separate sinker on the rig.
• Drop-Through Technique — Simple & Effective — The technique is straightforward: locate squid below the boat on the fish finder or by observing surface activity, drop the jig through the squid school, and reel back up; the barbless spikes snag squid on the upward retrieve; repeat until the bait tank is full; no special rigging or technique required beyond the basic drop-and-retrieve.
• Two Magnum Models — 4 oz & 7.5 oz — The 4 oz Model 338 Magnum for shallower squid schools and moderate depth conditions; the 7.5 oz Model 638 Magnum for deeper squid schools and conditions where a heavier jig is needed to reach depth quickly; the heavier model also covers more water column on each drop due to its faster sink rate.

How to Use

1. Charge the glow jig under a UV light or flashlight for maximum glow intensity.
2. Locate squid below the boat using a fish finder or by observing surface squid activity.
3. Drop the jig through the squid school to the desired depth.
4. Reel back up steadily — the barbless spikes will snag squid on the upward retrieve.
5. Swing the jig over the bait tank — squid will slide off the barbless spikes easily.
6. Repeat until the bait tank is stocked.

Best For

• White Seabass Bait — Live Squid — Live squid is the premier bait for White Seabass; the Glow Squid Jig is the most efficient way to catch live squid from a boat during squid spawning events; the glow body attracts squid in the low-light conditions when White Seabass are most actively feeding on squid near the surface.
• Night Squid Fishing — Squid are most active at night and are attracted to light; the glow jig body provides a luminescent attractor that draws squid toward the jig in the dark; most effective when used in conjunction with a light source (lantern or underwater light) to concentrate squid below the boat.
• General Live Bait Collection — Live squid is effective bait for a wide range of saltwater species including Yellowtail, Halibut, Calico Bass, and Lingcod; the Glow Squid Jig provides an efficient way to stock the bait tank with live squid for any saltwater fishing application.
