Shallow type egi squid jigs with a slow sinking speeds are effective for large squid in shallow waters such as those found in Australia's clear bays and harbours.
However, the weight of the lure is reduced in order to make it fall slower, which reduces its casting distance and makes the dart action less sharp. The EGI squid lure that overcomes this problem and turns common sense on its head is the CLINCH LONG APPEAL JET BOOST 3.5 GOU.
As the name suggests, the JET BOOST mechanism, a center-of-gravity shifting system, is installed for the first time in SHIMANO's EGI squid lures, and it delivers overwhelming long casting performance with an average flying distance of 52m. The sinking speed is approximately 7.4 seconds/m, a slower fall than that of a typical shallow-type EGI squid lure.
It has a long appeal in terms of both distance and time, and also has a FLASH BOOST to keep attracting squid during the long fall. This new type of EGI squid lure, which combines an unparalleled casting distance with a slow fall, opens a new door for targeting large squid and the cautious squid in spring, when anglers are very wary.
