About this piece
The Daiwa Emeraldas Ika Metal Dropper Joint is a revolutionary jointed squid jig designed for both metal squid fishing (ika-meta) and jigging with weights (omorig). Its vertical jointed action triggers strikes from otherwise hesitant squid, while the dolphin action drives them wild. After the hit, the joint follows the squid's rolling escape movement, reducing drop-offs. Two fall speeds are available: normal (4.75 sec/m) for general situations and super slow sinking (8.0 sec/m) for weight-assisted presentations. Available in 7 carefully selected proven colors.
