Megapro SJ-P 1.8C – Ultra-Micro Egi Squid Jig | 6 Colors

Megapro SJ-P 1.8C

The Megapro SJ-P 1.8C is the smallest and most refined lure in the SJ-P series — an ultra-micro size 1.8 egi jig designed for the most demanding squid fishing scenarios. At approximately 54mm, it presents an irresistibly small profile that triggers squid when all other sizes have been refused. Whether you’re fishing ultra-shallow rock pools, targeting juvenile squid, or dealing with heavily pressured fish in clear water, the 1.8C is the specialist tool that completes your egi arsenal.

Key Features

• Size: 1.8 (approx. 54mm) – ultra-micro profile for the most finesse-demanding situations in 1–6m depth
• Lure Style: Egi (squid jig) with weighted keel for a stable horizontal glide on the fall
• Sink Rate: Very slow – the smallest size in the range, ideal for ultra-shallow and ultra-slow presentations
• Hook System: Double-row prawn-style pin hooks – corrosion-resistant for saltwater use
• Available Colors: Green, Redhead UV, White Tiger, Purple Tiger, White Green, Pink – 6 high-performance patterns

Color Selection Guide

• Green: Excels in clear water under natural or artificial light – mimics bioluminescent prey; effective near dock lights at night
• Redhead UV: Classic redhead with UV boost – mimics injured baitfish; deadly during dawn and dusk feeding windows
• White Tiger: High-contrast tiger stripe in white – stands out in bright daylight and clear water; a proven producer in open water
• Purple Tiger: UV-enhanced tiger stripe – highly effective at night and in deep shade; UV activation creates a pulsing glow that triggers aggressive takes
• White Green: Subtle two-tone pattern for clear, calm conditions – natural and non-threatening; ideal when squid are extremely spooky
• Pink: The all-rounder – performs at dawn, dusk, and under overcast skies; high contrast in low light

When to Use a Size 1.8

• When squid are refusing all larger jigs – the 1.8C is the ultimate downsizing option
• In ultra-shallow water (1–3m) where even a 2.0 sinks too fast through the strike zone
• During high-pressure, clear-water daytime sessions where a tiny, natural profile is essential
• When targeting juvenile or small squid species that won’t commit to larger profiles
• As a search lure in new spots – the small size covers the water column slowly and thoroughly

How to Fish It (Expert Cadence)

• Cast to your target zone and count the jig down very slowly – the 1.8 has the gentlest sink rate in the range
• Execute 1–2 very soft upward rod lifts (15–25cm) – minimal movement is key; let the jig do the work
• Lower the rod tip slowly and maintain the lightest possible line tension on the drop – most takes occur on the sink
• Watch for the subtlest line movement – takes on a 1.8 can be extremely gentle; use a sensitive rod tip
• Try a dead-drift presentation in current – let the jig swing naturally with zero rod input for spooky squid

Pro Tips

• Use PE 0.6–1.2 braid with a 1.5m fluorocarbon leader (0.4–0.6mm) – the lightest possible gear maximizes the 1.8’s natural action
• A sensitive, fast-action egi rod in the 6–7ft range is essential to feel the delicate takes
• Pair Purple Tiger and Redhead UV with an underwater UV torch at night for maximum activation
• The 1.8C is the perfect final option in a rotation – always carry a few as your secret weapon when conditions get tough
