The Yamashita Egi Oh K Super Shallow, offers to any angler the option of changing the pace, when looking for squids with various approaches, such as using a slow tempo presentation even in areas with relatively deep water.

When an Eging angler hears the term “Shallow”, it might create the impression, that this squid jig is limited to be used in “Shallow” waters. But the true difference lays in the falling speed, which can more accurately by described as “Shallow = Slow Tempo” when looking for highly active squids in the water column. So the Yamashita Egi Oh K Super Shallow, offers to any angler the option of changing the pace, when looking for squids with various approaches, such as using a slow tempo presentation even in areas with relatively deep water.

Yamashita believes that the key to catching squids in the shallows, is the slow fall of the lure, at a steady pace. For that reason, Yamashita has developed three types of squid jigs, that are essential for shallow fishing and they can be used in various places and situations. By adopting an active balancer, Yamashita has made it possible for Shallow-type egis, which tend to produce short actions, to move dynamically and sharply, while maintaining their balance. In addition, by eliminating unnecessary patterns from the back, visibility in shallow areas has improved. The Super Shallow Egis use a sardine pattern (bottom) and the sinkers are also engraved with the letters “SS” to make them easy for anglers to understand.

Yamashita () got the idea of visual search by determining through extensive research – what the most visible color to squid jigs () is. The results of Yamashita’s () research indicated that “light is the most visible stimuli to squids. When it comes to colors, the most appealing color combination is the blue-green at a wave length of about 490nm (nanometers), similar to that of the human eye. The Yamashita () Oh-K SP Shallow squid jigs () carry a new visual technology, with easy-to-read luminescent colors, that blend in with the natural () environment. The appeal of the 490 glowing colors, further enhances the search capabilities of the particular squid jigs ().

The Yamashita EGI OH K Super Shallow due to their decreased weight, sink at a slower pace. The sinking speed is at 6.0 seconds per meter, for the 20 gr model.

The second feature that Yamashita added is the option puncture a 5mm hole in the squid jigs sinker.

Another factor that Yamashita () successfully tackled with the Hydro Fin, is the excessive darting action, from left to right, that squids find unattractive. The Yamashita () Egi-OH K Series has the most stable sinking posture and is a true value in all weather conditions. The transparent Hydro Fin plays a role, such as the rudder in a ship, that eliminates wobbling in windy and wavy conditions. With the Hydro Funs the K Series squid jig () will continue to sink in a straight line. The effect of the Hydro Fin is not to inspire unnecessarily wariness to the squid.

The Yamashita () 490 feature another revolutionary innovation – namely their “Warm Jacket skin – a cloth wrapping which holds the temperature 0.5 to 1 C above water temperature, creating impressive realism to squids.

You will find the Yamashita EGI OH K Super Shallow egis quite successful during low light conditions, in high seaweed, under the shadow of large rocks.
