Bill is right, sometimes the tiny jigs work better when the squid are finicky. I like the little Yamashita Naory RH in size 1.5 for such situations. Of course sometimes different colors and sink rates also do the trick with any jig. The Naorys are costly but in my opinion perhaps the best action jig available, and usually the smaller jigs need to be used with really light line, four pound flouro is my choice. I also have a couple pacific style jigs with a very wide hook spread and I sometimes use them to snag the finicky ones when they are thick and not too deep. Sometimes when they won't hit if you try an hour later they will start hitting, often when the tide starts to roll.
