About this piece
The Gamakatsu Speed Metal Egi Dropper F Type is a specialized hard lure for squid anglers employing the ika metal method. It inherits the stable swimming posture of traditional egi droppers, while a partially exposed balancer weight fine-tunes the presentation to entice more bites. At 80mm, this compact lure is effective across a range of depths and is particularly suited for reactive strikes in shallow or slack-water conditions.
Key features
- Streamlined egi shape maintains optimal angle and flutter in the current
- Exposed balancer creates a subtle wobble and quick response when jigged
- 80mm size ideal for both shallow-water squidding and slow-tide scenarios
- Glow Zebra pattern with contrasting stripes for maximum visibility at night
- Built with Gamakatsu’s precision engineering for reliable performance
Best for
- The ika metal technique for targeting squid in deeper or mid-water columns
- Situations with low current or when squid are suspended in shallow zones
