I've caught plenty of squid on cheap Gillies and Mojiko jigs - when the squid are hungry they will smash them just as quick as anything else. They don't last as long as good quality jigs though, and the sink rate can be inconsistent so if the squid are being fussy they will catch less than decent jigs. Cheap ones are good if you are in a snaggy area or if you tend to lose a few jigs.

I agree with Aaron, when the squid are on i reckon you could catch them with bottle caps. The squid dont care how much you paid for them. I cant even remember what all my jigs are or what they cost, i just choose a colour and give it a try. If i dont get a hit after about 15 casts i try another colour or try a different spot/drift.

Having said that out of those shown i would go for the all white or the white/red ones first.
