Yamashita Egi OH Live 3.5 Squid Jig Lure

When wind, current or depth demand a faster sink and longer casts, step up to the Yamashita Egi OH Live 3.5. This benchmark egi combines Warm Jacket thermo cloth, 490 Glow visibility and a lead-free tin sinker to produce a crisp, high dart that stays in the strike zone—even on windy jetty sessions or boat drifts over deeper weed beds. The patented Slim Nose needs less rod work, so you keep an efficient rhythm that turns follows into grabs on southern calamari and arrow squid across Australian bays and estuaries.

Sinking at around 3.0 sec/m, the 3.5 excels in 3–10 m water, letting you cover ground quickly with a two-to-three-lift cadence and controlled pauses. Stainless double-crown hooks hold firm, while UV-reactive KEIMURA finishes and 490 Glow accents boost visibility from low light to clear sunny days.

Why anglers choose it: long casting, fast sink for depth and drift control, and proven Yamashita action that consistently puts squid in the esky.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the 3.5 over smaller sizes?
Pick the 3.5 for deeper water, faster current, windy conditions or when you need longer casts and a quicker sink.

What rod/line suits the 3.5 size?
An egi rod 8’–8’6” rated PE 0.6–1.2 with 10–14 lb leader offers ideal control and hook-setting.

How do I work it?
Long cast, count down to depth, then two to three sharp lifts. Feed slack so the jig glides and sinks naturally, then repeat.

Is it saltwater-ready?
Yes—rinse in fresh water after use and dry hooks to maximise life.
