A Mag Cast egi carries a tungsten weight that slides back into the tail on the cast, then locks forward again for the retrieve — the moving centre of gravity used in long-casting minnows, applied to a squid jig. DUEL fixes the weight in the rear with a magnet housing called the Mag Pocket, so the transfer holds firm through hard darting and a fast fall rather than rattling loose. The result is more water covered per cast, plus a lower centre of gravity that keeps the jig nose-down and stable. The Search Double Glow finish adds a two-stage luminous system over a blue-based pilot colour: blue is the wavelength that survives longest as depth increases, which makes this a searching colour rather than a matching one. DUEL rates the sinking speed at about 5.0 seconds per metre in size #2.5 — a slow, hanging fall that keeps the jig in front of a following squid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMag Cast system: magnetised tungsten weight transfer for longer casting and a lower centre of gravity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMag Pocket rear magnet housing that holds the weight securely through hard jerks and fast falls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble Glow luminous treatment for sustained visibility after dark and at depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue-based pilot colouring that appeals broadly and reads well at depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinking speed of about 5.0 seconds per metre — a slow, controlled fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize #2.5, model A1769, in seven Double Glow 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\u003eLong-range fan casting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cast hard and fan across the arc so every cast covers new ground, working the far edge of a jetty light or a weed line that shorter casts cannot reach.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCount the fall by the numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e — At roughly 5.0 seconds per metre the maths is easy: a ten count is about two metres.
