Quick take
A Japanese egi designed for squid and cuttlefish, with a rattle chamber and weighted design for stable fall action.
This standard Emeraldas Peak squid jig carries a red aspara king finish without a rattle, so it relies on its foil and body for appeal. Its fall stays steady and its hop needs little input, which suits anglers who want a simple, steady squid jig. A red finish adds color to the water.
Best for
- Targeting squid and cuttlefish at night or in murky water
- Anglers familiar with egi fishing technique
- Saltwater jig fishing in current
Skip if
- You are fishing for fish instead of cephalopods

Strengths

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
