Swordtip Squid, Spear Squid, Japanese Flying Squid

Night Squid Fishing

MonroEgi Yodaki Tune

Master the night sea,
Purpose-Built for Omorig

Night squid fishing for swordtip squid, spear squid and Japanese flying squid.
The ideal form and action, tuned for every technique: dropper rigs, ika-metal and omorig.

Power Proven on the Water

Proven results from a night-fishing-specific design

The Ideal Fall Speed: 1m per 5 Seconds

In early development the lure was designed for a dead-slow fall (1m per 10 seconds), but depending on conditions it could be hard to draw bites. By tuning it to a fall rate of 1m per 4–5 seconds—balanced to work across a wide range of currents and depths and to match the rig—bites increased dramatically. It delivers the ideal fall speed that, in omorig, outperforms a metal jig when the squid are inactive or the water temperature is low.

A Vertical Jump That Captivates Swordtip Squid

Night squid fishing is a vertical technique in which the rig is dropped straight down, so vertical movement matters more than horizontal action. A light twitch sends the egi jumping upward, then it settles into a stable, dead-steady fall that tempts the squid. On-the-water testing has proven that swordtip squid respond strongly to this vertical jump action. From action to stay to fall, every motion is efficient, drawing out even large parasol-size squid without spooking them.

Shines When the Bite Is Slow

The greatest strength of omorig is its ability to out-fish ika-metal when the squid are inactive or the current is fast. The MonroEgi Yodaki Tune uses a high-buoyancy body of rigid urethane foam; its sharp head and fat waist grip the current to hold an exquisite balance. A natural, nose-down fall gets even low-activity squid to commit.

A Scientific Approach to Glow Colors

In night squid fishing, glow (luminous) colors are most effective after sunset. The MonroEgi Yodaki Tune features KEYSTONE's own diverse glow tones—pink glow, orange glow, yellow glow and more. Alongside proven red-base and green-base colors, the lineup also includes non-glow models with silhouette and flashing effects. By switching between them according to sea conditions, time of day and squid species, you can pinpoint the hot color of the day.

Rugged Crown Hooks Built for Big Squid

Despite their compact sizes 2.5 and 3.0, these egi carry two rows of rugged No.4-class crown hooks (kanna). Normally a small egi has little buoyancy, so fitting heavy hooks throws off its balance—but the high buoyancy of rigid urethane foam makes it possible to mount rugged crown hooks that can handle even parasol-class swordtip squid. You can fight with confidence across every technique: dropper rigs, ika-metal and omorig.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between omorig and ika-metal?

Omorig uses an inline sinker to drift the egi in the mid-water column. Ika-metal uses a lead sutte as the main lure with an egi or sutte attached as a dropper. The MonroEgi Yodaki Tune works with both techniques, and in omorig especially it outperforms a metal jig when the squid are inactive.

Why do glow colors work in night squid fishing?

In night squid fishing, glow (luminous) colors give the squid a strong visual appeal in the dark. After sunset in particular, glow colors charged by the boat's fish-attracting lights are highly effective. The MonroEgi Yodaki Tune offers a diverse glow color lineup—pink glow, orange glow, yellow glow and more—so you can switch colors to match the sea conditions.

Why is fall speed so important?

Because night squid fishing drops the egi vertically, fall speed directly affects how the squid respond. The ideal fall speed of about 1m per 5 seconds copes with a wide range of currents and depths and balances well with the rig. Too dead-slow and bites drop off; too fast and the squid grow wary. The MonroEgi Yodaki Tune delivers a fall speed optimized through years of on-the-water testing.

Can it be used for squid other than swordtip squid?

Yes. It works for all squid targeted in boat squid fishing, including swordtip squid, spear squid and Japanese flying squid. Swordtip squid in particular respond strongly to the vertical jump action, so the MonroEgi Yodaki Tune's jumping action is extremely effective. And because it carries rugged crown hooks that can handle even large parasol-size squid, you can fight an unexpected big one with confidence.

Which size should I choose?

size 2.5 can be used for boat squid fishing all across Japan and is a standard model that adapts to a wide range of conditions. size 3.0 shines when targeting larger squid or in situations with complex currents. Choose the egi size to match depth, current and target size. When using it as an ika-metal dropper, we recommend starting with size 2.5 while checking the balance against the lead sutte.
