I too have tried ocean king prawns on the jigs several times with mixed success
They are not much chop just hanging in the water column so i add a small float behind the bottom of the jig about two feet away and a small keel lead on the bottom side of the prawn cast and slow retrieves work best
however the prawns will get savaged by squid at a fast rate every hit you lose a bit more of the prawn so 4 squid per prawn and you need a new one badly
