Jackall Gekidaki Tr NO.2.5 Red Purple Lure

A specialized Egi designed for serious squid and calamari hunters. The Gekidaki Tr NO.2.5 combines aggressive darting action with a hypnotic flutter fall that mimics wounded baitfish—the trigger squid can't resist. The red purple color scheme creates excellent contrast in varying water conditions and light levels, making it highly effective for targeting squid and calamari throughout the day and into low-light periods.

Egi Techniques for Squid:

• Shaku-Shaku (Jerk-Pause): Sharp upward jerks of 30–50cm followed by controlled slack-line falls. Squid attack during the descent—watch for line tension or sideways movement
• Stay Fall: After the initial jerk sequence, let the Egi sink on a tight line for 3–5 seconds. This extended pause triggers cautious squid
• Bottom Contact: Tap bottom, then immediately lift 1–2 meters. The silt cloud and erratic rise imitates fleeing prey
• Current Drift: In tidal flow, use minimal input—let the Egi work naturally with periodic lifts to maintain depth control

Rigging Notes: The NO.2.5 size is ideal for shallow to medium-depth applications and smaller squid species. Pair with PE 0.5–0.6 mainline and 1.5–2lb fluorocarbon leader for optimal sink rate and sensitivity. The balanced weight distribution ensures consistent horizontal posture on the fall—critical for squid that approach from below. The red purple finish excels in both clear and stained water conditions.
