Jackall Gekidaki Dropper 50°FALL NO.2.5 Red Head Green Blue Glow
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 Red Head with Green Blue Glow finish delivers maximum luminosity and visibility in low-light conditions, making it highly effective for targeting squid and calamari during dawn, dusk, and night sessions when squid are most active.
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. Glow charge before each cast in low-light conditions for maximum attraction and extended glow duration.
