The Harimitsu Sumizoku is one of the largest designers and manufactures of premium quality squid jigs in the world. They are regarded as one of the best jigs on the market today. Harimitsu is one of the top selling brands, they have a massive selection of colours to choose from.
The Harimitsu Sumizoku VE-44 Tip Run is a squid jig specifically designed for fishing in deep water, especially when there is a lot of current. These Tip Run egis typically are used for boat fishing (check the position of the ring), but have also been very effective along harbor rock walls where fast currents and deep water are both encountered simultaneously. At 30 gr they are 9 gr heavier than your standard size #3.5 Egis and feature a bigger jig head weight.
This Japanese high quality bait features top components from head to tail. The Sumizoku VE-44 squid jigs can be characterized as unique in terms of the color combinations and the premium raw materials, that stand the test of time. In no other squid jigs, will you find such intensive color combinations, that have the sole purpose of striking as odd in the eyes of cephalopods. The cloth material used is of thick, flashy texture and resembles natural scale. The Japanese made cloth and the Mylar fabric layers covering the body of the jig, will withstand scratches, cuts and nicks catch after catch. Mylar, also known as BoPET (Biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate) is a polyester film made from stretched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and is used for its high tensile strength, chemical and dimensional stability, transparency, reflectivity, gas and aroma barrier properties, and electrical insulation.
Perfectly balanced, the action of each Sumizoku Egi is second to none. The weedless lead keel and the feathers of the VE line up, allow you to fish with confidence in and around the weed beds digging out those monster squid. It also incorporates a spike to which you add an extra sinker, if you need to go even deeper.
The side fin adds to the balance and the realistic looks of the Sumizoku VE-44 Tip Run.
The two Owner super-hooks located at the rear of the elongated tail provide an excellent striking point. The Japanese made cloth and the Mylar fabric layers covering the body of the jig will withstand scratches, cuts and nicks catch after catch.
