Can somebody tell me why squid jigs usually have so many hooks and usually no barbs on the hooks?

I am pretty sure this is because the barbs on the jags would rip straight through the squids tentacles once a decent amount of pressure was applied.
And to the baiting prawn imitation jig question, i have seen squid caught on a paternoster of bait jig and prawn style jig, while straight prawn style jigs have been producing nothing. With the exact same jigs as my brother, he out squidded me until i changed to his idea too. I'm guessing the baited jig attracted the squid while the prawn style jig actually caught the squid.
Also, has anyone tried using a fresh prawn as a bait on a baited jig? Or would pickers destroy it before the squid had a chance to take it?
Cheers,
Jordan
