About this lure
Yamashita - EGI OH Live Search 3.5 Squid Jig
Special sound "SEARCH RATTLE"
"SEARCH RATTLE" is one of the YAMASHITA's exclusive technology. The YAMASHITA "SEARCH" squid jigs feature a number of unique features but what sets this jig apart is the 600Hz rattle inside the body. YAMASHITA have discovered after much research with a leading Japanese University that squid can pick up sounds between 400Hz and 1,500Hz with 600Hz being the optimum level for squid to be most interested.
YAMASHITA exclusive technology "490GLOW"
For many years squid anglers all over the world have used jigs equipped with glow material. Now, research shows the best wavelength of visible light squid is 490nm. This is a tuned glow of 490nm which YAMASHITA discovered with the research from a leading Japanese university is the best glow colour for the squids eyes to detect. "Glow of 490nm wavelength is most perceivable for squid."
While keeping the quick dart action of EGI-OH LIVE, the sinking speed is designed to be a little bit faster than the LIVE (without Rattle), so that it can quickly search for high activity squid.
Size: 3.5
Weight: 21.5g

How to fish the Yamashita - EGI OH Live Search 3.5 Squid Jig
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the EGI OH Live Search 3.5 and allow it to sink on a controlled drop - the 2.8 sec./m sink rate lets you work through the water column methodically while the internal 600Hz rattle attracts squid.
Work the jig with short, sharp jerks of the rod tip to trigger the characteristic dart action, pausing between lifts to let it flutter downward.
Target squid around structure, weed beds, and open water; the combination of rattle and 490nm glow is designed to appeal to squid across varying light and clarity conditions.
Pair with light to medium spin or baitcast gear and 1-2 kg leader to maintain sensitivity and control.
