A specialized dropper Egi designed for serious squid and calamari hunters using multi-Egi tandem rigs. The Gekidaki Dropper 50°FALL NO.2.5 features a unique 50-degree fall angle that creates a more aggressive, darting descent compared to standard droppers—the trigger squid can't resist. The Clear Purple Zebra finish creates a translucent, natural appearance with zebra striping that excels in clear water and bright conditions, making it highly effective for targeting squid and calamari when they're feeding selectively or in high-pressure environments.
Dropper Egi Techniques for Squid:
Tandem Rig Setup: Attach the dropper Egi 50–80cm above your main Egi. This creates a school effect that triggers competitive feeding behavior in squid
Shaku-Shaku (Jerk-Pause): Sharp upward jerks of 30–50cm followed by controlled slack-line falls. The 50° fall angle creates an aggressive darting action that triggers strikes
Stay Fall: After the initial jerk sequence, let both Egis sink on a tight line for 3–5 seconds. This extended pause triggers cautious squid
50° Fall Advantage: The steeper fall angle imitates fleeing prey more realistically, triggering aggressive strikes from competitive squid
Rigging Notes: The NO.2.5 dropper size pairs perfectly with NO.2.5 to NO.3.5 main Egis. Pair with PE 0.6–0.8 mainline and 2–3lb fluorocarbon leader. The Clear Purple Zebra translucent finish is particularly effective in clear water and sunny conditions when squid are wary.
