Quick take
A Japanese-designed squid jig that attracts squid and cuttlefish through jigging action and flash.
This Yamashita Egi OH K 3.0 is a sinking squid jig for cuttlefish and squid in saltwater, weighing about 15 grams. Its spear-point hook sits at the head, and a rear hydro fin is designed to steady the fall through the water. Tuning holes in the tin sinker let anglers adjust the weight and how fast it drops.

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.
