Yamashita Egi-OH Live Search 490 Spot Global Colors

Th new Egi-Oh Live Search Spot squid jigs (에기) are not new in the Japanese or European markets. World famous Japanese company Yamashita (야마시타) introduced them a few years ago and they have become a standard choice for all anglers fishing squid and cuttlefish, either from the shore, or from the boat. The Egi-Oh Q Live Search are made from top materials and the Egi-Oh Series have upgraded Yamashita (야마시타) to one of the top squid brands worldwide. Nowadays, with even more innovations incorporated in their products, Yamashita (야마시타) will, quite simply, keep up the lead.

Yamashita realized that there are special color combinations that are popular in overseas markets. These are a series of special colors, which have most of Yamashita’s unique technologies such as the Warm Jacket , which retains the accumulated heat out of the water and slowly releases it into the water, attracting the attention of cephalopods, or the famous system of internal spheres, emitting in the most audible frequency for cephalopods. This series of jigs has been named Global Color.

Yamashita also redesigned the external sinker. Aiming for sharper dart action, Yamashita modified both the material and the shape of the sinker. The construction material has changed, replacing Lead with Tin material. This allowed Yamashita to increase the size of the sinker, Tin being lighter than Lead. The new shape is called "Blade Sinker" and produces a sharper, dart action, after each jerk from our rod, in a shorter area and at a wider angle.

The Live Search egis are available in size 3, at 9.5 cm (clear body) and 15.5 gr and a sinking speed of 3.3 seconds for every meter of depth. The selected color range includes basic, vivid and natural colors. Its hooks are made of stainless steel and each and every material on this squid jig is made to last. Yamashita’s (야마시타) excellent production qualities can be compared to very few other companies.

What are the innovations that will lead us to prefer Egi-Oh Q Live Search Global Colors squid jigs (에기)? Yamashita (야마시타) as a leading brand in the field, worked closely with marine scientists and adopted its design, testing and production process to incorporate the results of field research and bibliography. The “Search Rattle” technology was thus developed and gave its name to the Search squid jig (에기) series. Cephalopods seem to react more vividly in sounds that are around 600Hz. When hearing sounds at this range, their hunting instincts seem to be activated. So, Yamashita (야마시타) developed a rattling sound, by installing in each egi a small chamber with tiny spheres, that emits at 600hZ.

In its studies, Yamashita (야마시타) also approached the field of vision of Squids and Cuttle fish. The company wanted to understand what kind of light is more effective and it found out that light emissions around 490nm (nanometers) are perceived more easily by cephalopods. Thus it developed the 490 Glow innovation and made Egi-Oh Q Live Search squid jigs (에기) to emit light in this precise wave length.

Last but not least, Yamashita (야마시타) developed a warm jacket for its squid jigs (에기). Cephalopods can distinguish their prey even by tiny variations in the prey’s body temperature. These differences from the surrounding temperature can be as small as 0,5⁰C or 1⁰C. The Warm jacket can retain heat much longer than any other fabric and thus, when we “charge” our squid jig (에기) with a UV flash light, the temperature created by the UV light emission, or even by simply holding the jig in our palm for a while, can generate the extra temperature that we need.

The Yamashita (야마시타) Egi-Oh Q Live Search Global Color squid jigs (에기) maintain their posture in the correct angle, under any conditions. They also, have a slim front part, that in comparison with previous models, these can dart more vividly and remain in the same area longer, a trait extremely important for shore fishing, as it provides to prey the chance to attack. With the correct sound, light and rattling effect, these Yamashita (야마시타) squid jigs (에기) are the ultimate tool for our egging sessions and incorporate a level of expertise, that is truly without match. Υamashita (야마시타) is right when it proposes that Egi-Oh Q Live Search should be the first egi we cast: it will show us if there are any squids around. If so, a strike is more than certain. It is scientifically guaranteed.
