About this piece
The Squid Mania Wild Chase 2.5 is a meticulously crafted egi designed by pro shops to deliver a natural, prey-searching action. Its light, darting movement mimics a fleeing baitfish with sharp, jerky motions that trigger aggressive strikes from squid. The stable 45-degree fall posture and slow sink rate (~4 seconds per meter) give squid ample time to commit, while the increased internal air volume ensures consistent, controlled descent.
