It keeps the narrow ez-SLIM body — the low-drag section that falls straight and stays under the boat in current — but replaces the plain feather tail with an umbrella-shaped cloth skirt that opens and closes as the jig moves. That pulsing skirt gives a much bigger visual and water-pushing signal than a slim jig normally produces, which is what you want when squid are scattered, the water is stained, or you are trying to pull fish across from a neighbouring boat's lights. A rattle inside the body imitates the click of a fleeing shrimp, a blue luminous spot marks the head in the dark, and the hook shaft is thickened to 0.8mm so a big squid or a snagged crown does not fold it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParasol skirt — umbrella-shaped cloth legs that open and pulse on the fall and the lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim ez-SLIM body for a straight, controlled fall despite the extra appeal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolling Shaft swivel — body turns freely, so no line twist and a natural waver in tide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal rattle imitating the sound of an escaping shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue luminous accent for a clear aiming point in dark or deep water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickened 0.8mm hook shaft for durability under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e85mm \/ 6g, five luminous colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDropper above a metal jig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Set it on a 30–50 cm branch line above a 15–40g lead or metal sutte.

Go back to the plain 70–80mm ez-SLIM when they are thick, small, or short-biting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not strike\u003c\/strong\u003e — A take feels like added weight or a tip that stops springing back. Lean the rod over to load it, then wind at one steady speed.
