About this piece
Daiwa Emaraldas Ika Metal Dropper Jointed 2.5 (approx. 10.5g) is a jointed egi-type dropper designed for squid fishing, offering a revolutionary design that works effectively both as a standard dropper and as an ohmorig (weighted) rig. Its vertical joint construction triggers strikes from squid that are usually difficult to entice, while the dolphin action drives them into a feeding frenzy. After a hit, the joint follows the fleeing motion of the squid, reducing drop-off rates.
