About this piece
The Yamashita Egiking TR 3.5 is a purpose-built tip-run egi that combines a tin weight and stable body design to deliver a unique "motionless swimming" action. This specialized squid jig excels at triggering strikes from hesitant squid by stopping perfectly still during the pause, a critical moment when bites often occur. Engineered for vertical boat fishing, it incorporates a large hook for securing big catches.
