About this piece
The Realfisher Ebi-Raba is a hybrid saltwater jigging lure combining a tenya (bait jig) and a tai-rubu (tilefish jig). Designed by a fishing boat captain, it features a unique stepped single-assist hook layout that holds live or frozen shrimp, squid, or worm trailers securely. The Ebi-Raba runs with suppressed rolling action at low to medium retrieve speeds, making it effective even when fish are less active.
