About this piece
The Gamakatsu Speed Metal Egi Dropper is a metal jig designed primarily for squid fishing (ika metal) from boats. It is a renewal of the Evolidge 2.5 Shallow model, featuring the same body and sinker shape but fitted with Gamakatsu’s own hooks for improved hook-up reliability. The color lineup has been tested in competitive fishing grounds where the hot color changes rapidly.
