A sutte is not an egi: an egi is cast and jerked, a sutte is dropped straight down and worked with short lifts and long pauses. The GSSS has a dense, balanced body that sinks efficiently and holds its line in current, so it reaches the depth squid are actually holding at. A textured cloth covering, polka-dot pattern, red head and 3D eye give it a clear visual target, ultra-bright luminous areas take over once light runs out, and two crowns of fine stainless hooks cover a wide area when a squid pulls it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes and how they are numbered.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sutte weights follow the Japanese \u003cem\u003ego\u003c\/em\u003e scale of 3.75 g per unit: #12 is 45 g, #15 is 56 g, #20 is 75 g. Pick the lightest one that still reaches the squid layer and stays under the rod tip: 45 g for shallower water, slack tide and light tackle; 56 g as the everyday middle; 75 g for depth, running tide and windy drifts. The right weight changes with the tide across a night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot the same as the GSKS.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the polka-dot, red-head pattern in colours #11 and #12, and the only one of the two offered in 45 g.

The metal carries the rig down; the soft one hangs level and takes squid that will not commit to a harder bait.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever strike — wind instead\u003c\/strong\u003e — A squid hugs the jig with its arms, it does not bite.
