In regards to the small sinker below the jig, I used to fish that way and catch squid down at mornington. However last month or so I have been using no sinker attached.
The gear i use now with the change is a 6'6" length 4-8lb graphite rod, 2500 spinning reel, 6lb fireline with a 10lb flurocarbon leader, could say bream gear. Attach the jig using a small snap swivel (only to stop retying the jigs on a change) and cast away. Jigs used are around 1.8 size so sink rate is slow can leave it there for 10-15 seconds and slowly wind and jig. Found this setup to increase the catch rate when other people were getting none.
Hope this helps.
