Yamashita Egi OH K-HF Super Shallow Squid Jigs

This particular squid jig has been designed by Yamashita, based on the following concept: The key to catching squids (에기) in shallow waters is a "stable" and slow fall.

Yamashita lets us into a little secret, when it comes to Eging in the shallows: by adopting an active balancer (exterior ring in the back), dynamic and sharp movements have been made possible, on shallow-type squid jigs (에기), the action of which tends to be small and weary. Traditional Shallow type squid jigs (에기) have been obliged to sacrifice their action in order to compensate for sinking speed. As a result they had to give up the minimal action required by shallow type jigs and enhance their balance. In the Super Shallow, Yamashita (야마시타) introduced sharp action with moderate darting width, that does not create to squids an unnatural feeling.

In addition, by removing unnecessary patterns from the back, visibility in shallow areas can be further improved and exciting Egging can be enjoyed. In shallow areas where the underwater plantation spreads and the amount of light is plenty, it is easy for squids to distinguish the color differences between squid jigs (에기). Therefore color selection plays a very important role. Yamashita (야마시타) utilizes the contrast created by the G Flash placed on the side, further highlights each color and it's appeal.

Another key factor to successful Eging in the shallows, is to prevent as much as possible the tear of the cloth and thread hanging due to the large number of contacts with rocks and reefs and to minimize the wearing-off of squid jigs (에기). Yamashita (야마시타) knows that bold squids hunt aggressively with their feet in the shallow areas, so they came up with a new design that minimizes the anxiety of lost or worn out jigs.

The Yamashita (야마시타) Egi OH K-HF Super Shallow squid jigs (에기) trully sink slowly and allows you to search shallow structures. In the presence of squids the particular jig is equipped with all the unique technologies Yamashita (야마시타) has incorporated in its products. The active balancer stabilizes Egi's posture in the shallow area to achieve the ideal action.

In addition the blue eyeballs and blue feathers incorporated on the Super Shallow models, are typical of this series.

The Yamashita (야마시타) Live Shallow feature another revolutionary innovation - namely their "warm jacket” skin - a cloth wrapping which holds the temperature 0.5 to 1 ºC above water temperature, creating impressive realism to squids. It is also equipped with glow details that emit light in what Yamashita - after long research - claims to be the exact right frequency of 490nm. The eyeball cup is of “490 Glow” technology, with fluorescent color that makes it visible to and invites squids from the nearby area.

Hydrofins, is one of the greatest features of the Egi OH K-HF series. They grasp the water flow firmly in the shallow areas where the wind and waves can easily affect the posture of a squid jig (에기). The K Series Super Shallow always maintain a stable posture.
