Megapro Squid Jig SJ-P 2.5C – Egi Lure for Squid & Cuttlefish

Megapro Squid Jig SJ-P 2.5C

Engineered for precision eging, the Megapro SJ-P 2.5C is a size 2.5 squid jig designed to target Loligo squid, cuttlefish, and calamari in both inshore and nearshore waters. Its balanced sink rate and reactive dart action make it one of the most versatile egi lures for anglers of all skill levels.

Key Features

• Size: 2.5 (approx. 75mm) – ideal for medium squid in 3–15m depth
• Lure Style: Egi (squid jig) with weighted keel for controlled horizontal posture on the fall
• 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: Pink, Green, Orange, Red/Yellow, White Tiger, Purple – each tuned for different light and water clarity conditions
• Body Finish: UV-reactive cloth wrap with reflective underbody to mimic shrimp and baitfish

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 Green or White Tiger
• At depth or in deep shade, Purple with UV activation is highly effective

Pro Tips

• Use a 1.5–2.5 PE braid with a 2–3m fluorocarbon leader (0.8–1.2mm) to maximize sensitivity and reduce visibility
• Fish the jig on a slow-sink pause of 5–10 seconds in cold or pressured water – squid often follow before committing
• The 2.5C size excels during pre-dawn and dusk sessions when squid move into shallower feeding zones
• Rotate colors every 15–20 minutes if no takes – squid can be highly selective based on ambient light
