Weight 20g
Fall Speed 3.0 sec/m
Price ¥1,000 (JPY)
Squid jig with high density urethane foam body spreading weight ratio to the whole body. It features slow and natural action which is very unique and never seen ever. It darts straight upto the surface by twitching and fly down to the bottom slowly. High density urethane foam body enables slow position change after action, and it makes small time lag before getting back to a fall position as if a squid jig stayed for a second.

The rear body has large volume so that a double hook can be floated with its low buoyancy material. The high density urethane foam material is adjusted to have smallest buoyancy which make forwarding position in free falling. You will see that a squid jig stays with the hook sank little bit when you have a squid jig right underneath your rod tip, but it falls in horizontal position by curve falling at actual fishing. High density urethane foambody has a total weight in the whole body and it also enables long casting with stabled position.

Best to use for sight fishing in shallow area or surface water, and slow current area. The unique action also helps to make different departure to squids.
*Not for deep water or fast current area fishing.

   
Colors
Clear colors are used for both bright and dark colors in order to take advantage of flashing effect of under cloth.
*Un-clear colors can be used for some type of color variation.
As for bright colors, Gaianotes clear fluorescent colors are used and these help to make it vivid flash color.
 

Sinkers (original designed)
Designed sinkers to allow squid jigs to fall in natural position.
*All sinkers are checked by electronic balance (allowance ± 0.2g).
 

Feathers
Cock neck feathers are rooster feathers which come from the neck, and it's often used for dry fly tying. The feathers are smooth and each fiber is stiff. Three feathers are layered to be used for one side of to get enough fluid resistance in the water and this allows smooth action and decreases the falling speed.
 

Urethane Foam Body
Using high density (low foam) material as much as possible having forwarding position in free falling. Compared with standard type which has most of the total weight in a sinker, high density type squid jigs enablesslow and natural action in all motion
*All bodies are checked by electronic balance (allowance ± 0.5g).
 

Body Design (original designed)
