About this piece
The Daiwa Emeraldas Boat 2 is a dedicated boat squid jig (egi) engineered for tip-run (ティップラン) fishing. It combines a head-integral sinker design for efficient weight distribution and a fast, straight fall with minimal spiral. The body balances buoyancy and a responsive darting action on the retrieve, while retaining a moderate pull resistance critical for bite detection at the rod tip.
Key features
- Head-integral sinker for enhanced weight-up efficiency and compact profile
- Fast fall speed with reduced spiral during descent for precise depth control
- Body shape tuned for obedient darting when snapped and sufficient buoyancy
- Made-in-Japan super sharp stepped hooks for excellent penetration and strength
- Compatible with Kamen Sinker Boat for weight adjustment to reach super-deep zones
Best for
- Boat tip-run eging (vertical squid jigging) in coastal and bay environments
- Targeting aori squid (bigfin reef squid) during early to mid-season
- Anglers needing a versatile 2.75 size that can be weighted up to 3.0 equivalent with Kamen Sinker Boat 2
