Yamashita Egi OH Live 3.0 Squid Jig Lure

Level up your egi game with the benchmark Yamashita Egi OH Live 3.0—the size most Aussie anglers reach for when targeting southern calamari and arrow squid off rock walls, jetties and drifting over weed beds. The Live series blends Warm Jacket thermo cloth, 490 Glow visibility and a lead-free tin sinker to produce a sharper, higher dart with less rod effort, keeping your jig in the bite zone longer and converting curious follows into committed grabs.

The 3.0 sinks at ~3.5 sec/m, ideal for 2–6 m water, light current and controlled pauses. A patented Slim Nose delivers crisp side-to-side action, while stainless double-crown hooks hold securely. Whether you prefer subtle UV KEIMURA flash in daylight or 490 Glow in low light, the Egi OH Live 3.0 offers proven Yamashita performance that consistently puts squid in the esky.

Why anglers choose it: fast, responsive darting; premium hardware and finishes; and confidence-inspiring results across Australia’s bays, estuaries and inshore reefs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rod/line suits the 3.0 size?
An egi rod 7’–8’6” rated PE 0.6–1.0 with 8–12 lb leader provides ideal tip speed and control.

When should I pick 490 Glow vs KEIMURA?
Use 490 Glow at night/low light or deeper water; UV KEIMURA excels in clear water and sunshine.

How do I work it?
Cast long, count down to depth, then apply two to three sharp lifts. Feed slack to let the jig glide and sink naturally, then repeat.

Is it saltwater-safe?
Yes. Rinse in fresh water after use and dry hooks to maximise life.
