Harimitsu Sumizoku VE-22 Squid Jigs

Harimitsu Sumizoku is one of the largest squid jig manufactures in the world and has the reputation as having the best colour range of any squid jig on the market. Harimitsu is one of the top selling brands and for many anglers are the “go to” choice when nothing else is working.

The Sumizoku VE-22 squid jigs can be characterized as unique in terms of the color combinations and the premium raw materials, that stand the test of time. In no other squid jigs, will you find such intensive color combinations, that have the sole purpose of striking as odd in the eyes of cephalopods. The cloth material used is of thick, flashy texture and resembles natural scale. The Japanese made cloth and the Mylar fabric layers covering the body of the jig, will withstand scratches, cuts and nicks catch after catch. Mylar, also known as BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity, gas and aroma barrier properties, and electrical insulation.

The VE-22 in size 3.0 is the most versatile model in the range. Ideal for fishing cuttlefish and squid from the shore, it also allows you to explore from a boat in shallow depths, or when cephalopods move in the first 4 meters below the surface.

The head of the Sumizoku VE-22 is pointy, a design element that enables the lure to perform sharp, darting moves. It is equipped with a solid ring.

Perfectly balanced, the action of each Sumizoku Egi is second to none. Each Egi falls naturally and sits at rest on the bottom with a 45 degrees angle thanks to its forward weight and tail buoyancy. The weight placement and shape will keep your egi straight when falling and will give to the bait a natural behavior. The weedless lead keel and the feathers of the VE line up, allow you to fish with confidence in and around the weed beds digging out those monster squid. By flattening the rear part of the sinker, Sumizoku managed to utilize the resistance of the wind when casting and return the jig’s posture to a horizontal position. The flat surface of the sinker makes the flight attitude more stable, extending the casting distance.

The side fin adds to the balance and the realistic looks of the Sumizoku.

The two Owner super-hooks located at the rear of the elongated tail provide an excellent striking point.
