DAIWA’s EMERALDAS PEAK is a dart-style squid jig that delivers an outstanding balance of casting distance, controllability, and stability during the fall—key performance characteristics for eging. By reexamining the weight balance and the shape of each part of the body, its flight posture has been stabilized to reduce wobble during casting. In the water, the body and sinker shapes provide a moderate amount of resistance, allowing the jig to catch the current easily and making it easier to entice squid while maintaining the intended depth range.
It responds naturally to rod movements, making it easy to produce lateral darts as well as moderate lift, and is suited to basic eging techniques that combine jerking and falling actions. Its stable fall posture, achieved through a low-center-of-gravity design, is another key feature, making this model easy to use when allowing the jig to fall and remain visible after an action. In addition to the standard model, the lineup includes the RV (Rattle Version), which features an integrated rattle. The RV can attract squid with sound during the fall and while being worked, making it suitable for covering a wide area or fishing in low-visibility conditions. Type S and Type S RV models feature a slow-sinking design with a fall rate of 6 seconds per meter, making them suitable for shallow areas, weed beds, and situations where you want to keep the jig in view for an extended period. The 3.0 size weighs 13.5 g, making it an easy size to incorporate into fall eging or presentations matched to small baitfish.
