Many people think squid are more active during the night. As you would expect, they're not high on the food chain so venturing out under the cover of darkness would help when looking for food. Squid also have exceptional eye sight which helps them detect prey and predators.
Many jigs have luminescent strips or are made from a material that is such. The amount that is luminescent varies from jig to jig, it could be a tiny strip or the whole body. This means they can be charged by being shone with light (from a torch, navigation light etc) so they stand out. Squid love light, and are attracted to it. Therefore they're attracted to the jigs.
Basically, squid are definitely active at night. Maybe even more active than during the day (I think it's about the same).
