Megapro SJ-Glory 2.5 UV – Egi Squid Jig | Green, Blue, White

Megapro SJ-Glory 2.5 UV

The Megapro SJ-Glory 2.5 UV is the compact, shallow-water version of the acclaimed SJ-Glory series — a size 2.5 UV-reactive egi lure designed for targeting Loligo squid and cuttlefish in inshore zones, rocky shorelines, and jetty structures. Its UV-enhanced finish activates under low light and overcast skies, giving it an edge during the prime feeding windows at dawn and dusk.

Key Features

• Size: 2.5 (approx. 75mm) – ideal for medium squid in 3–12m 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: Green, Blue, White – each UV-enhanced and tuned for specific light and water clarity conditions

Color Selection Guide

• Green: Excels in clear water under natural or artificial light – mimics bioluminescent prey; highly effective at night near dock lights
• Blue: Best in clear, well-lit conditions – natural silhouette that blends with the water column while remaining visible to squid
• White: The versatile neutral – works across all conditions; particularly effective in bright daylight and clear water where subtlety wins

How to Fish It (Expert Cadence)

• Cast to your target zone and count the jig down to the desired depth – the 2.5 size is ideal for shallower presentations of 3–12m
• 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 clear water, use White or Blue for a natural presentation; switch to Green near structure or at night

Pro Tips

• Use PE 1.5–2.0 braid with a 2–3m fluorocarbon leader (0.8–1.0mm) for maximum sensitivity in shallow water
• The 2.5 UV size excels during pre-dawn and dusk sessions when squid move into shallower feeding zones
• In pressured or cold water, extend pauses to 8–12 seconds – let the UV finish do the work on the slow sink
• Pair with an underwater UV torch at night to fully activate the UV finish and increase strike rates significantly
• The SJ-Glory 2.5 UV pairs perfectly with the SJ-Glory 3.0 UV – use the 2.5 to prospect shallow and the 3.0 to probe deeper zones
