A seductive glow, now in size 4.3 — Aka-Samurai Meteor Glow Orange & Green, out in September
EgiSharp Alpha size 4.3 gains the new Aka-Samurai Meteor Glow colours, Orange and Green. A glow that does not blaze but stands the outline up in the half light — now on the big size 4.3. Three versions — V0 / V0+ / V1 — from September 2026. On an Okinawa reef under a full moon, in less than two metres of water, a pre-release prototype on a size 4.3 V0 answered by the second or third cast, and all three veterans hooked up.

About Meteor Glow
EgiSharp Alpha gains the new colours Aka-Samurai Meteor Glow Orange and Green in September 2026 — the two colours joining EgiSharp (sizes 3.5 and 3.8) that month arrive on the size-4.3 EgiSharp Alpha at the same time. Meteor Glow is a glow that does not blaze; it stands the outline up in the half light. The final pre-release test took the Akazamurai Channel's veteran trio to Okinawa on a full-moon night. On a reef in less than two metres of water, a Meteor Glow Orange prototype on a size 4.3 V0 was counted down eight to ten and worked sideways — never touching bottom — and the second or third cast brought Akazamurai the first squid. Hide followed on the discontinued Mix Glow, Toguken on Galaxy Glow Olive, and all three of the trio hooked up.

Line-up and Approach
On EgiSharp Alpha, the Aka-Samurai Meteor Glow family has so far been two colours, Purple and Red. In September 2026 Orange and Green join, making four. The same September also brings Yozakura and UV Reef Green to EgiSharp Alpha size 4.3. All come in the three versions V0 / V0+ / V1, with photos on the product page.
That night, staying off the bottom was not a preference — the terrain demanded it. On a reef where coral heads rise to within a metre of the surface, touching down means an instant risk of snagging. V0 (22g), the slowest-falling version of size 4.3, keeps the egi in the surface and mid layers: count it down eight to ten, then work it sideways.
The tackle that night was a Stoist RT Inter Line 79MMH rod, a Certate LT2500S reel, Sunline PE EGI-ULT HS8 0.6, an FC Hard 2.25 leader and an EG Snap M. The egi were EgiSharp in sizes 3.8 and 4.3 (the 4.3 being EgiSharp Alpha).
The Lure's Role
EgiSharp Alpha
EgiSharp Alpha is a next-generation egi that keeps a big size-4.3 body under 25g. In the same size 4.3, you choose from three fall speeds: V0 = 22g (slowest), V0+ = 23g, V1 = 24g. Colour and fall speed are chosen independently — that is the design.
In less than two metres of water, not sinking is itself the technique. Take the slowest V0, stop it at a count of eight to ten, and work it sideways — keep showing the egi without ever touching bottom. On this night Akazamurai took the first squid on the pre-release Meteor Glow Orange prototype, second or third cast; Hide followed on the discontinued Mix Glow, Toguken on Galaxy Glow Olive. Only this light build lets a big size 4.3 travel that slowly just under the surface.
From the Workshop in Arita
The egi used in this video are genuine made-in-Japan products, crafted at KEYSTONE's own factory in Arita, Saga Prefecture — the town of Arita porcelain. We put our soul into each and every egi.
MADE TODAY IN ARITA
The fishing above is what this video records: episode 112 of the Akazamurai Channel, the veteran trio's full-moon night session, six minutes and forty-three seconds. The egi Akazamurai calls simply “Meteor Glow” is the pre-release Orange prototype.
