YOZURI - EGI AURIE-Q "RS" A1610/A1584/A1585 SQUID JIG OCTOPUS JIG

Yozuri Egi Aurie-Q "RS" A1610 / A1584 / A1585 Squid Jig — #2.5, #3.0, #3.5

These are the full-size RS models: 11 g, 16 g and 21 g, the everyday shore and boat sizes of the Aurie-Q range. The "RS" is Yo-Zuri's patented Rolling Shaft system, a line eye carried on a rotating shaft that lets the body roll freely through a jerk sequence and stops a spinning squid from screwing line twist back up the leader. Around that sits a balanced body for a stable falling posture, a snag-resistant sinker that reduces hang-ups on rock and weed, an aurora cloth finish that flashes like fish scale, and dual crown Trick Hooks that grip a squid while still flexing free of light snags.

Choosing a size. A1610 at 11 g is the general shore size for roughly three to eight metres in light current. A1584 at 16 g falls at 3.0 sec/m — a fast, purposeful drop for deeper edges, running tide and windy days. A1585 at 21 g holds that same 3.0 sec/m rate on a larger silhouette, so it covers depth without falling any quicker — useful when big squid want a bigger target but not a faster one.

Key Features

• Patented Rolling Shaft line eye for natural roll and reduced line twist
• Three sizes: #2.5 at 11 g, #3.0 at 16 g, #3.5 at 21 g
• Published sink rate of 3.0 sec/m on the #3.0 and #3.5
• Balanced body for a stable, controlled nose-down fall
• Aurora and flash cloth finishes imitating fish-scale reflection
• Dual crown Trick Hooks that recover from light snagging

How To Fish It

• Count the fall against the rate — At 3.0 sec/m a fifteen count on the #3.0 puts the jig about five metres down. Work down in layers, and once a squid takes, repeat that exact count.
• Full shakuri sequence — Rod tip low, three to five hard upward snaps so the jig darts wide, then drop the tip and let it settle on a controlled bow of slack. The take is on the fall, never on the snap.
• Fish the current, not against it — On a running tide cast up-current and let the jig swing back on a tight arc; the heavier #3.5 holds the fall angle where a light jig would be lifted and swept.
• Sweep on anything odd — If the line stops early, jumps or moves sideways, lean into it and wind under steady tension. Pumping the rod puts in slack and the squid lets go.

Target Species By Region

• Southeast Asia — Candat sotong for bigfin reef squid (sotong torak) and cuttlefish (sotong katak) from night boats, kelong and deeper jetty edges off Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines.
• North America — Market squid off California piers and harbour lights, and Humboldt squid on deeper Pacific drops.
• Japan & East Asia — The classic shore eging sizes for aoriika, plus kensaki-ika on boat drifts and tip-run; equally standard in Korea and Taiwan.
• Australia, Middle East & Europe — Southern calamari and cuttlefish over seagrass and reef in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania; European squid and cuttlefish on Mediterranean and Atlantic marks.

Specifications

Colour codes across all three sizes: KPKA, KVPA, SL8, SLMA, SLOE. This page covers the larger RS sizes only — the light RS sizes #1.6, #1.8 and #2.0 (A1604 / A1605 / A1606, 4 g to 8.3 g) are a separate listing.

Recommended Pairing

• Egi rod of 8' to 8'6" rated for #3.0–#3.5 jigs, fast tip, for the #3.0 and #3.5
• 2500–3000 spinning reel with PE 0.6–0.8 braid
• Fluorocarbon leader of roughly 10–16 lb, about a rod length
• Shorter, softer boat rod for tip-run work, where the tip reads the take
