Yamashita Egi Oh Live Basic: Proven to Trigger Strikes

The Yamashita Egi Oh Live Basic is a trusted squid jig designed for anglers who want consistent results. It combines proven action with advanced materials that appeal directly to squid behaviour. This jig performs well from shore, jetties, and boats. It suits both beginners and experienced eging anglers.

Yamashita built the Live series with features that enhance realism and attraction. Additionally, the jig focuses on natural appeal rather than gimmicks. The result is a reliable egi that works across many conditions. With 36 colour options available, anglers can match light levels and water clarity easily.

Warm Jacket Technology for Natural Attraction

One reason the Yamashita Egi Oh Live works so well is its Warm Jacket cloth. This thermo storage material transfers light into heat. That creates a more natural appeal in the water. Squid often respond to subtle temperature and realism cues. Therefore, this feature adds another layer of attraction beyond colour alone.

Slim Nose Design and Sharp Darting Action

Yamashita holds a patent on the slim nose design used in the Live jigs. This slim nose helps create a sharp darting action. It produces more movement with less effort from the angler. Each rod jerk makes the jig jump and dart cleanly. That action imitates fleeing prey and triggers aggressive strikes.

Additionally, the tin sinker Live series jumps higher than older lead sinker models. This gives anglers more action over a shorter distance. The side-to-side darting motion remains smooth and consistent.

Advanced Visibility with 490 Glow and UV Body

Yamashita developed 490 Glow after research into squid vision. Studies showed squid see best at the 490nm wavelength. This glow targets that exact range. It improves visibility in low-light conditions.

The jig also features a UV Body, known as Keimura. This reacts to UV light but does not charge like traditional glow. It creates a subtle visual response that squid notice quickly. Additionally, this makes the jig effective at dawn, dusk, and deeper water.

Durable Hooks and Eco-Friendly Sinker

The Yamashita Egi Oh Live Basic includes Double Crown stainless steel hooks. These hooks provide strong penetration and secure holds. Squid strikes can be quick, so hook reliability matters.

The jig also uses an environmentally friendly tin sinker. Tin reduces environmental impact compared to lead. It also supports the higher jumping action of the Live series.

Sizes, Weights, and Sink Speeds

The Live Basic range includes multiple sizes for different depths and conditions:

Size 2.5: 10.5g with a sink speed of 5.0 sec per metre
Size 3.0: 15g with a sink speed of 3.5 sec per metre
Size 3.5: 20g with a sink speed of 3.0 sec per metre

This allows anglers to match their jig to current, depth, and squid activity.

How to Effectively Use the Yamashita Egi Oh Live Basic

To fish a squid jig, cast it out and let it sink to your target depth. Then use quick, sharp rod jerks to create an erratic darting action. This imitates distressed prey and attracts squid.

Squid are most active in low-light periods like early morning or evening. Focus on areas with structure such as seagrass, rocks, or jetties. Additionally, varying depth and retrieve speed helps find what works best.

Yamashita Egi Oh Live Basic delivers proven action, advanced attraction, and reliable performance for successful eging.
