How to fish the Yamashita - EGI-OH F
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The EGI-OH F is a sinking egi that works best on a steady lift-and-drop retrieve.
Cast out and allow it to sink on controlled tension, then work it upward with sharp rod taps to trigger the side-to-side darting action that mimics natural squid prey.
The transparent glow body remains visible in daylight and low-light conditions, making it effective across dawn, dusk, and daytime sessions.
Choose your size based on depth and conditions: the 2.0 and 2.5 sink at 5.5 sec/m for shallow inshore work, while the 3.0 (3.5 sec/m) and 3.5 (3.0 sec/m) suit deeper offshore marks.
Pair with a light to medium spin or baitcaster and 0.8-1.5 mm braid for direct feel of the egi's action and squid takes.
