Egi Sutte : Petits formats et descente lente pour les pêches fines

Yamashita Egi Sutte: reducing size to vary presentations

A small egi lets you change the profile of the lure presented without limiting yourself to a color change. Yamashita Egi Sutte models therefore have a place in a tackle box dedicated to finesse squid fishing, alongside larger models.

To make the most of these lightweight formats, tackle choice matters as much as lure choice. A rod with a casting-weight range suited to the weight used makes casting and working the lure easier. It also helps you better follow the egi’s movements during pauses.

Egi Sutte and Egi Sutte R: correctly identify your model

Models to compare individually

Our selection includes Egi Sutte R and Egi Sutte models. Check the full name, size, and characteristics of the selected item: data from one version should not automatically be applied to the other.

To prepare your setup, start with your specific need: offer a smaller lure, slow the presentation, or retain more control. You can then compare models according to their weight and sink rate.

The Egi Sutte 2.3 format

The Egi Sutte 2.3 measures 69 mm and weighs 8.6 g. Yamashita states a sink rate of 5 seconds per meter. This provides an indication of its behavior, but actual time also depends on current, line tension, and the rig.

On this version, the brand uses reinforced crowns compared with the smaller formats in the range.

How do you choose colors for your Egi Sutte?

Combining complementary finishes

The Egi Sutte range includes classic colors and natural finishes. To build your selection, look for useful differences: a presentation resembling a small fish, a bright shade, and stronger contrast.

Start with a few models that you can compare easily. Multiplying very similar colors offers fewer options than having clearly different presentations.

Understanding the Glow body

The current Egi Sutte range features a phosphorescent Half Skeleton Glow body. A natural finish can therefore be combined with a light effect: the outer color alone does not describe all the egi’s characteristics.

For Egi Sutte R models, consult the product page of the selected item to check its finishes. This helps avoid confusing the fabric appearance, body color, and any light effects.

How do you fish with a small egi?

Favor actions that are easy to control

After casting, follow the descent while watching your line. Make a few measured rod movements, then let the egi sink again. Start with a simple, steady action to understand its behavior.

You can then adjust the duration of pauses or the amplitude of movements. If a squid follows without taking the lure, first try changing your rhythm before systematically replacing the egi.

Maintaining contact despite wind and current

Small formats require attention when conditions make it difficult to monitor the line. A bow in the line carried by the wind can mask lure movements and make bites difficult to detect.

If you can no longer follow your presentation, adjust your fishing angle, your spot, or the model used. The smallest egi is only worthwhile if you can still bring it into the target zone and work it properly.
