About this piece
The Daiwa Emeraldas Rattle is a meticulously crafted squid jig developed under the supervision of Hirohito Yamada (Yamarappi). It combines a unique hard rattle system with a refined fall posture to trigger strikes from both active and lethargic squid. The slightly slower-than-normal sink rate and head-down free-fall presentation allow anglers to keep the lure in the strike zone longer and work distant pinpoint spots effectively.
Key features
- Hard rattle chamber with 6 glass balls for wide-area sound attraction underwater
- Horizontal line eye enables sharp darting action and stable hopping
- Compact, low-center-of-gravity sinker improves casting distance and snag resistance
- Super sharp staggered double hook design ensures solid hooksets on light contact
- Emeraldas Real Eye finish adds a lifelike, enticing flash
- Compatible with mask sinkers for further fall speed customization
Best for
- Targeting finicky bigfin reef squid (aori ika) in clear or pressured waters
- Shore and boat eging when a pronounced rattle call is needed to draw strikes
- Slow, methodical presentations over structure or deep drop-offs
- Situations where a subtle, head-down fall triggers more bites than standard jigs
