Yamashita () developed the TR Search series to add the kind of excitment to Eging, that has never been seen in recent years. It is always helpful and adds up to a pleasant fishing time, when you can feel the movement of your rod’s tip and check the line with your eyes. Yamashita () pursued exactly this road in fishing from the shore with the TR HF series, aiming to make Eging also fun. In order to catch more squid and purely enjoy Eging, be ready to receive bites immediately after your Yamashita () squid jig () has landed in the water.

The Yamashita Egi King TR Search squid jigs, are the optimal choice for Squid and Cuttle fish fishing, against waves and currents. One of the biggest problems, Eging anglers face with squid jigs is that they lose their stance and get carried away by waves and currents. Yamashita () aimed through experiments and field tests at their research facility, that is easy for squids to catch even in extreme weather conditions and strong tides. “Stability in Flow” was a target of lengthy studies for Yamashita (), in order to create the sense of stability of the squid jig (). After adding other unique elements such as the “Hydrofin TR”, “Hydro Body”, “Warm Jacket” the exclusive squid jig () TR was born.

Yamashita proposes this new squid jig, that has been redesigned in several key areas especially for this reason, namely the Egi King TR Search. First of all, the well-known Japanese company has made its whole shape fully hydrodynamic. Secondly, its frontal part has been reinforced with lead, that is one piece with the rest of the jigs dorsal weight. Thirdly it has added a fin at the rear part of the jig that is used for stabilization, glowing in the same color as the very characteristic spot of the TR series. All these aspects make that jig () stable even in big waves and strong currents. This jig is our main and sometimes our only choice if we choose to challenge rough waters in squid fishing. It manages to stand correctly, to respond to our orders and to look as live and realistic, as ever in conditions that other jigs are simply dead objects.

However, Yamashita () did not stop there and incorporated in the Egi King TR Search many of its innovative technologies. What are these innovations that will lead us to prefer the particular series of squid jigs ()? Yamashita as a leading brand in the field, worked closely with marine scientists and adopted its design, testing and production process to incorporate the results of field research and bibliography. The Search Rattle technology was thus developed and gave its name to the Search squid jig series. Cephalopods seem to react more vividly in sounds that are around 600Hz. When hearing sounds at this range, their hunting instincts seem to be activated. So, Yamashita developed a rattling sound, by installing in each egi a small chamber, with tiny spheres, that emits at 600hZ.

In its studies, Yamashita () also approached the field of vision of Squids and Cuttle fish. The company wanted to understand what kind of light is more effective and it found out that light emissions around 490nm (nanometers) are perceived more easily by cephalopods. Thus it developed the 490 Glow innovation and made the Egi TR Search squid jigs to emit light in this precise wave length.

Furthermore, Yamashita () developed a warm jacket for its squid jigs. Cephalopods can distinguish their prey even by tiny variations in the preys body temperature. These differences from the surrounding temperature can be as small as 0,5C or 1C. The Warm jacket can retain heat much longer than any other fabric and thus, when we charge our squid jig with a UV flash light, the temperature created by the UV light emission, or even by simply holding the jig in our palm for a while, can generate the extra temperature that we need.

The Yamashita () OH TR HF carry a Prawn Egg phosphorescent marking on the belly, that imitates a pregnant shrimp which squid is more likely to attack. Keep your line or braid tight and let the belly of the squid expose the eggs area.

In addition, Yamashita () researched thoroughly the weight of the body and the weight of the sinkers, in order to arrive to the ideal falling speed by which the squid jig () can be delivered quickly to the hunting range of squids, with a well-balanced motion. The new TR Search egis are available in size 3, at 9.5 cm (clear body) and 23 gr. The selected color range includes basic, vivid and natural colors. Its hooks are made of stainless steel and each and every material on this squid jig is made to last. Yamashitas excellent production qualities can be compared to very few other companies.

Sometimes, when we reach deep areas, such as 40 or 60 meters deep, the pressure of water becomes another factor the angler should consider. Yamashita () took this under consideration when designing the TR series to create a jig that maintains its shape even after prolonged fishing in deep areas.

Hydrofin TR

Unlike conventional hydro fin, a cross shaped fin is adopted to control vertical and horizontal shake. It stabilizes the movement of the jig even in tidal currents far from the angler.

Hydro Sinker

The Yamashita () TR is equipped with a specially shaped sinker, to keep a more stable swim posture. It’s original design makes it function as a rudder.

Hydro Body

The Hydro body does not resemble the shape of the traditional Japanese squid jigs () and was designed from the beginning as an original idea. Compared with ordinary jig shapes, you will notice that there is a sharp edge on the side, that plays a very important role in supporting the stability feeling of the TR.

Glowing Fin

A glow fin is particularly effective in deep water where the light intensity is weakened. By placing an appeal element, you can show the stable swim firmly to the squid and let it embrace.

G Flash

It is the G Flash point that has a powerful flashing effect of bouncing the received light back to the light source. It strongly appeals to the squids following the eggs from behind, or from below.

Warm Jacket

Using warm cloth with the unique heat storage effect, Yamashita () manages to deliver the heat accumulated on the warm jacket material to breathe life into squid jigs.
