On a sharp rod snap a darting jig does not simply hop upward — it breaks hard left, then hard right, the way a startled prawn flicks backwards. A squid that has only watched a jig rise and fall will often commit the moment it turns a corner, because a sudden lateral escape is the trigger its hunting reflex is built around. The Dartmaster is DUEL's egi built around that movement, and this version adds a sealed rattle chamber so the direction change is heard as well as seen. Two sizes cover most water: #2.5 at 10g falling about 5.0 sec\/m, #3.0 at 14.5g falling about 3.5 sec\/m.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRattle or silent.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sound extends the range at which a squid can locate the jig, so the rattle version is the better tool in stained water, at depth, at night, and in current. On a flat, clear jetty that is fished every night, the same knock can turn a following squid away. Carry both and let the follows decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in rattle chamber producing sound that draws squid from a wider radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatapata Feet Light side fins for lifelike vibration and natural posture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWave Motion Body with a ribbed surface for subtle vibration and flash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnagless sinker system that reduces seabed hang-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrick Hook: stainless crown hooks with a UV glow finish for visibility and secure hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes: #2.5 at 10g (about 5.0 sec\/m) and #3.0 at 14.5g (about 3.5 sec\/m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe darting snap\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rod tip low and near the water, two to four short sharp upward snaps from the wrist, slack recovered between each.
