An egi is a weighted, cloth-wrapped shrimp that is cast, sunk on a counted line, then made to dart sideways with sharp snaps of the rod. What separates this model from a plain casting egi is sound: coloured rattle balls sealed in the body knock on every jerk, imitating the click a prawn makes as it flicks away from a predator. That is a third signal on top of shape and flash, and it reaches furthest when water is coloured, deep or moving. The 75mm #2.5 body is the standard shore size — small enough for pressured jetty squid, heavy enough to cast into a working breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColoured rattle balls inside the body imitate the sound of an escaping shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSegmented abdomen generates strong wave motion to draw squid in from a distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV-treated body finish for high visual appeal in daylight and stained water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV glow feet that vibrate under water resistance, adding movement even on the pause\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY2 crown hook arrangement for wide contact when a squid wraps the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel A1690, size #2.5 at 75mm, in eight colour codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCast and count the fall\u003c\/strong\u003e — Let the jig sink on a controlled slack line, counting seconds.

In flat, clear water on a heavily fished jetty a rattle can put wary squid off, so carry a silent egi as well and switch if you get follows without takes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever strike\u003c\/strong\u003e — A squid hugs the jig with its arms rather than biting. If the line stops falling, twitches or drifts sideways, sweep into the weight and wind under unbroken tension; pumping the rod creates slack and the squid lets go.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFish the shadow line\u003c\/strong\u003e — Charge the UV glow panels with a torch, then work the dark edge of a light pool rather than the bright centre, where squid sit and ambush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTarget Species By Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoutheast Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Candat sotong for bigfin reef squid (sotong torak) and cuttlefish (sotong katak) from jetties, breakwaters and fishing platforms in Terengganu, Pahang and Johor, and off boats working the lights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNorth America\u003c\/strong\u003e — Market squid jigged down the pilings at lit California piers and harbour walls through the night.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapan \u0026amp; East Asia\u003c\/strong\u003e — Shore eging for aoriika, with #2.5 the usual autumn size for the year's smaller squid; also fished in Korea and Taiwan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAustralia, Middle East \u0026amp; Europe\u003c\/strong\u003e — Southern calamari over seagrass in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania; European squid and cuttlefish on Mediterranean and Atlantic night marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHook\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA1690\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#2.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSinking egi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eY2 crown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable colours: GPOG, KVRO, KVRP, LMOG, RISE, RKE, ROHE, RSE.
