Megapro SJ-Beat 2.5 UV – Egi Squid Jig | Blue, Pink, Orange, Green

Megapro SJ-Beat 2.5 UV

The Megapro SJ-Beat 2.5 UV is a size 2.5 UV-enhanced egi lure engineered for precision squid fishing in shallow-to-mid-depth zones. Combining a reactive dart action with a UV-reactive cloth finish, the SJ-Beat excels in variable light conditions — from overcast mornings to twilight sessions — making it a versatile weapon in any squid angler's tackle box.

Key Features

• Size: 2.5 (approx. 75mm) – ideal for medium squid in 3–15m depth
• Lure Style: Egi (squid jig) with weighted keel for a stable horizontal glide on the fall
• UV Finish: UV-reactive cloth wrap that activates under low light, overcast skies, and UV torches
• Sink Rate: Standard – approx. 3–3.5 sec/m, perfect for methodical count-down presentations
• Hook System: Double-row prawn-style pin hooks – corrosion-resistant for saltwater use
• Available Colors: Blue, Pink, Orange, Green – each UV-enhanced for maximum visibility across different water and light conditions

Color Selection Guide

• Blue: Highly effective in clear, deep water and bright daylight – mimics natural baitfish silhouettes
• Pink: The all-rounder – performs at dawn, dusk, and under overcast skies; high contrast in low light
• Orange: Standout choice in murky or stained water – maximum visibility when water clarity is poor
• Green: Excels in clear water under natural or artificial light – mimics bioluminescent prey

How to Fish It (Expert Cadence)

• Cast beyond your target zone and count the jig down to the desired depth
• Execute 2–3 sharp upward rod lifts (30–60cm) to trigger the dart-and-fall action
• Lower the rod tip slowly and maintain light line tension on the drop – most takes occur on the sink
• Watch for line twitch, sudden slack, or a subtle weight increase – strike immediately with a firm sideways sweep
• In low-light or murky water, opt for Pink or Orange; in clear daytime conditions, use Blue or Green

Pro Tips

• Use PE 1.5–2.5 braid with a 2–3m fluorocarbon leader (0.8–1.2mm) for maximum sensitivity and reduced visibility
• The 2.5 UV size is ideal for pre-dawn and dusk sessions when squid move into shallower feeding zones
• Slow the cadence in cold or pressured water – extend pauses to 8–12 seconds to let squid commit
• Rotate colors every 15–20 minutes if no takes – squid can be highly selective based on ambient light
• Pair with an underwater UV torch at night to fully activate the UV finish and increase strike rates
