Hi guys,
Pink jigs size 3-3.5 work best for me. You should also try with a scoop net and put it in the water behind the squid and scare them into it cause they can't swim forward, I think it could work if the squid are close to the surface.

I don't know about your squid but ours can swim forward at speed. Shy or low activity squid can be enticed by down sizing finding the correct colour for conditions and finding the correct action in your retrieve. If they are following the jig they can be caught. Tide/moon phase plays a part but you can do your best with presentation including leader length size and keeping your jig clean. As an advantage awabi sheet and or scent to get them over the line.
