It is built to carry a strip of real bait lashed along the belly, adding scent and taste to the usual flash and glow. That is the answer when squid have gone fussy: on a hard-fished mark, in cold water, or late in a session when everything artificial is followed and dropped, a squid that will not commit to a bare jig will often hang on to a baited one long enough to be lifted. At 80 mm and a listed 5 g it is the lightest body in our Ultra range, so it drifts down slowly and holds in the strike zone with very little input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBait-wrap (esa-maki) body designed to carry a strip or small whole bait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80 mm, listed weight 5 g — the lightest and slowest-drifting of our Ultra models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolographic body with internal prism foil and 3D eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlow-in-the-dark belly strip for low light, deep water and night sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 rounded two-stage stainless crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight colour codes, all in the luminous (L) family\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing bait\u003c\/strong\u003e — Yo-Zuri's guidance for its bait-wrap squid lures lists fresh small fish, firm fish fillet, live baitfish, sardine, sand eel, halfbeak, smelt, shrimp and chicken breast. Firm flesh is the key — soft fillet washes off in a few drops, a firm strip or chicken breast survives several squid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrapping it on\u003c\/strong\u003e — Push the bait onto the bait stop so it cannot slide back over the crown, lay it flat along the belly, then bind it with fine stainless bait wire or waxed thread in even turns from front to back and finish at the tail. Trim the strip so it does not hang past the hooks — an overhanging tail is what squid grab instead of the crown, and why baited jigs get short bites.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow often to rewrap\u003c\/strong\u003e — Change the bait when the flesh turns pale and soft, when the wraps loosen, or after a squid has chewed it — on a normal night, every twenty to thirty minutes. Cut and wrap spares before dark rather than under torchlight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresent it slower than a bare jig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Drop to the working depth, lift through one or two slow winds, then hold for fifteen seconds or longer — scent needs time to work.
