About this piece
The Breaden Metal Egi (Metaleggi) is a metal jig designed for squid fishing, combining the finesse of an egi (squid jig) with the casting weight of a metal jig. Its rapid bullet-like fall reaches the bottom quickly, making it effective for targeting squid like Tsutsui, Kensaaki, and Surume from the surface down to deep vertical zones.
Key features
- Metal-bodied egi design with a rapid sinking action for fast bottom contact.
- Covers a wide search range from surface to vertical deep zones.
- Maintains line tension for sensitive hook-setting on subtle bites.
- Effective for both casting and vertical presentations.
Best for
- Squid fishing (Tsutsui, Kensaaki, Surume) in open water.
- Low-activity daytime conditions where picky squid require a fast-falling lure.
- Anglers seeking a metal jig with traditional egi features.
