For the angler targeting serious Squid and Cuttlefish, sometimes a standard lure just isnt enough. The Sunset Squid Jig Stainless Steel Needle is a specialized bait-stick designed to combine the irresistible scent and texture of real fish with the lethal hooking power of a modern jig.
At Gerrys Fishing, we find this 15cm needle to be a game-changer when the inkers are being picky. By threading a real sardine or small pouting onto this stainless steel spike, you create a scent trail that no artificial lure can match. Built to withstand the harsh marine environment, this tool is an essential for any dedicated cephalopod hunter.

The 15cm Squid Needle is a tactical masterpiece for various coastal conditions:
Pier & Breakwater Jigging: Perfect for dropping vertically alongside harbor walls. The weight of the baitfish allows the needle to sink naturally into the strike zone where squid hide in the shadows.
Winter Squid Sessions: When the water is cold and squid are less aggressive, the scent of a real Sardine, Pouting, or Smelt threaded onto this needle will often trigger a take when a plastic jig fails.
Cuttlefish Hunting: Cuttlefish are notoriously greedy but can be cautious. The Double Basket hook design ensures that as soon as they wrap their tentacles around the bait, the ultra-fine pins find a secure hold.
Offshore Boat Angling: Excellent for drifting over reef edges or sandy patches. The stainless steel construction ensures it stays straight and rust-free even after being submerged in deep, salty water for long periods.
Unlike cheap wire versions, the Sunset needle features a tapered tip that wont blow out the sides of your baitfish, keeping your presentation looking tidy and lifelike. The Double Basket hook configuration is the gold standard for cephalopod fishing; it provides 360 degrees of hooking coverage, meaning no matter which angle the squid attacks from, its going to get caught.
Gerrys Pro Tip: To maximize your success, once you have threaded your baitfish (Sardine or Mackerel strip) onto the needle, use a few wraps of Sunset Bait Elastic to secure it. This prevents the bait from sliding down the needle when a squid tries to pull it off, forcing them right into the hooks
