The body imitates a small cephalopod — bulging eyes, a high-contrast red-and-white profile and a skirt of soft tentacles that keeps flowing on the pause — over a wide crown of barbed hooks that gives good contact when an octopus wraps the bait rather than biting it. The line eye sits centrally on top, so the jig hangs level and rolls over rubble instead of digging in. Two weights are offered: #M at 40 g and #L at 50 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it differs from the Takoyan.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Takoyan tako-egi is a buoyant shrimp body on a detachable claw sinker at 31 g and 42 g — a shore jig meant to be crawled through shallow rock. The E44\/E45 is heavier and denser at 40 g and 50 g with the weight in the head, so it drops fast and holds bottom under a drifting boat or off a deep harbour wall. Take the 40 g for moderate depth and light tide, the 50 g for deeper ground and stronger current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeighted-head octopus jig in two sizes: #M 40 g and #L 50 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCephalopod body with bulging eyes, a high-contrast finish and a top-centre line eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tentacle skirt that keeps moving during pauses and on the drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide crown of multiple barbed hooks for holding a wrapped octopus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast sink for vertical control from a boat, pier or rock wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive colour codes: LSCH, LSOH, RDH, YDX2, YDX6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical bottom bump\u003c\/strong\u003e — Drop straight down, let it land, take up slack, then lift 30–50 cm and let it fall back.
