Fishing in New Zealand's diverse waters offers plenty of exciting opportunities, and having the right gear is crucial to success. Squid fishing, or squidding, is a popular pastime here, and using specialised squid lures can significantly improve your catch rates. Our LED lures, available in a pack of six vibrant colours, are designed for these exact conditions, making them an excellent addition to any angler’s tackle box.
These squid jigs, made from durable PVC and lead, feature a smart LED system that activates when submerged, attracting squid in low-light conditions. Here’s when and why you should use these jigs, as well as how each colour can improve your chances of landing more squid.
Squid are more active and easier to catch during the night, making our LED squid jigs the perfect tool for after-dark fishing. The built-in LEDs automatically light up when the jig is underwater, creating an irresistible glow that attracts squid. The lights switch off once the jig surfaces, helping to conserve battery life. Night fishing around New Zealand’s harbours, bays, and coastal areas like the Marlborough Sounds or around Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf is prime territory for squid fishing.
While night-time is ideal, squid can also be caught during cloudy or overcast days when there is less natural light. The LED system can help make your squid jig stand out, even in dim daylight. Fishing near rocky areas or deeper waters around Wellington and the South Island is a good option during these times.
Squid are highly sensitive to colour, and different conditions or times of day may require specific jig colours to attract them. Here’s a breakdown of when to use each colour:
Red jigs are highly visible in clear water, making them ideal for daytime fishing in New Zealand’s clearer bays or coastal areas like the Bay of Islands. The strong contrast helps lure squid in, especially when the water is calm and well-lit.
Pink is a versatile colour that works in both clear and murky water. This colour is often considered one of the best choices for squid fishing as it mimics the appearance of small fish or shrimp, which squid prey on. Use this jig during early mornings or in areas with moderate water clarity.
Yellow jigs are excellent for low-light conditions or fishing in slightly deeper water. The bright colour helps it remain visible even in murkier conditions often found along the west coast of the North Island or South Island’s fjords.
Green jigs excel during night fishing, especially when combined with the LED lights. The green glow tends to stand out well against the dark water and is particularly effective in attracting squid at night, especially around the coastline of Canterbury or Stewart Island.
Orange is another vibrant colour that works well in both clear and murky water. It’s highly visible during dusk or dawn, making it perfect for evening squid fishing along New Zealand’s eastern beaches or during early morning outings near Coromandel.
Blue is most effective in deep water or under bright sunlight, where the colour blends in slightly but still stands out enough to attract squid. It can also be used when fishing in slightly cooler waters off the southern coasts, where squid might be looking for prey against the deeper blue ocean backdrop.
New Zealand’s waters are full of opportunities for squid fishing, but having the right equipment can make all the difference. Our LED lures are crafted with both efficiency and convenience in mind. The pack of six assorted colours ensures you’re prepared for any condition or location, from the clear waters of the Bay of Islands to the murky depths near Wellington’s rocky shores.
The combination of smart LED technology, durable materials, and a well-balanced design makes these jigs a valuable addition to your gear. Whether you’re fishing at night, in overcast conditions, or in deep water, these jigs will help you attract more squid and make your fishing trips more successful.
With our reliable and efficient squid jigs, you’ll enjoy the convenience of never needing to change batteries mid-trip. With the right colours and a strategic approach, you’ll be fishing like a pro in no time.
