Not too big, not too small: size 4.3 (under 25 g), one of the best answers

Not Too Big, Not Too Small
Sizes 3.5 and 3.8 are too small, and an egi made too large gets heavy and awkward. One of the answers in between is size 4.3.
A bigger body, stronger appeal. The size 4.3 body looks a size larger in the water and makes its presence felt even to big squid — with no loss of lightness on the jerk.
Yet no more than 25 g. Even on rocky ground where you can only take one tackle, you can add one to your usual rotation.
A bigger hook, too. The KS10 (1.45 g) is about twice the size of the KS06 on sizes 3.5 and 3.8 — far thicker and sturdier than ordinary egi hooks, so bigger squid, even one hooked by a single tentacle, can be played with confidence.
It rides the current well. The large body catches the current firmly and holds its posture in swell and complex flow.
On reefs and rocky shores, go in full gear — life jacket, waders and sunglasses — and with an experienced angler who knows the ground.
