Those type of jigs are VERY popular in the United States. They are the Commercial type of jigs. Most of the people catching squid in the US like to use the jigs that glow, as working in the dark water at night really draw in the squid. Most people here use 3 or 4 jigs at a time spaced about 18" apart. Some tie them in line so that you attach a line to top and bottom of each one. I like to tie a snap swivel every 18" and just clip in on the top, so when you jig it up and down it flops a little, this seems to work best. It's not uncommon here to get 4 - 5 squid on at one time this way.
The squid are often at different depths, usually start out by dropping your line slowly to the bottom, then reel up a bit. Jerk your line up about 2 feet and slowly lower, as the squid grab the lure generally as it's dropping. If you feel a slight slack on your line as it drops, set the hook, as it's likely a squid that grabbed on. If it's not working well fishing off the bottom, reel up a bit and keep trying at different depths. At night sometimes they will be only a couple feet down from the surface.
