Yamashita - EGI OH Search
About this lure
High-appeal egi designed to trigger active squid with sound, flash, and tuned movement.
The EGI-OH SEARCH is packed with features to help you cover water efficiently and draw aggressive strikes. A built-in Search Rattle emits sound at 600Hz—ideal for a squid's hearing range—while the STROBE FIN on the back delivers strong flap action for added visual appeal. Its flat-sided body enhances flash, especially after movement, helping it stand out in deeper or murkier conditions.
This model also features NEON BRIGHT UV technology, tuned to 490nm—the most visible glow wavelength for squid. With a slightly faster sink rate than standard EGI, it’s ideal for working a range of depths with pace and precision.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
The EGI OH Search is a fast-sinking egi designed to cover water quickly and trigger active squid.
Cast and allow it to sink, then work it with sharp, snappy lifts of the rod tip to activate the STROBE FIN's darting flap action and flash from the flat-sided body.
The built-in 600Hz Search Rattle emits sound throughout the retrieve, mimicking natural squid prey and drawing aggressive strikes. Work it from the surface down through the water column with a pace that suits the conditions-faster retrieves in clear water, slower in murkier conditions where the NEON BRIGHT UV glow (tuned to 490nm) will stand out.
Target squid in inshore waters, adjusting your cadence and depth to match their feeding mood.
