We only uses squid jigs now days. It's much quicker and cleaner to rig up. This is on boat btw. So usually each person has two rod if he chooses. And depending on wind, current, and water depth. One rod is usually rig up paternoster style sitting in the rod holder. While flicking with the other rod. To try and max out our chances.
If you prefer to use the sprong instead. Try designing the sprong with a bamboo skewer. And stainless hooks. This option allows the bait to suspend mid water. And not sink all the way to the bottom and snags. I've had friends that bag out on squid with this technics land base.
Goodluck.
