Yamashita accessories: build a rig suited to your fishing

Choosing an egi also means choosing the components that connect it to the line and help control its presentation. A suitable snap makes changing lures easier, while consistent weighting helps you work the desired depth.

Our selection of Yamashita accessories and rigs covers several techniques: shore eging, tip run, ika metal, and omorig. First choose according to your technique, then check the dimensions, strengths, and compatibility of the associated components.

Which Yamashita snaps should you choose?

Eging Snap for changing your egis

Eging Snaps allow you to replace your egi without retying the knot every time you change it. They make it easier to test sizes, colors, or sink rates during a session.

Choose a size that matches your lure and check the closure after each use. A snap should allow the attachment point to move freely without being unnecessarily bulky.

Naory Snap and Naory Snap Rakuraku for small rigs

Naory Snap and Naory Snap Rakuraku complement light-fishing gear. Compare the available models to choose a connection suited to your small lures and the way you change them.

When assembling your rig, check the strength of the entire setup, from the leader to the snap. The connection should remain consistent with the rest of your gear.

Egi-oh TR Snap for your tip run gear

Egi-oh TR Snaps are ideal for tip run rigs. When choosing your model, consider the lure used and any weighting accessories.

Before lowering, make sure the snap is properly closed and that nothing interferes with the egi attachment.

Adjust weighting with Egi-oh TR Sinkers

Add weight when conditions require it

Egi-oh TR Sinkers are additional weights designed for tip run. They increase the weight of a compatible egi when depth, current, or drift make control more difficult.

Make adjustments: look for a weight that lets you follow the descent and maintain reference points. Take the total weight, including the egi and additional sinker, into account to stay within your rod's operating range.

Hold the sinker in place with Egi-oh Head Bands

Egi-oh Head Bands are used to secure compatible weighting accessories, including TR Sinkers, to the egi.

Check their condition and that the weight is secure before fishing. A poorly positioned accessory can alter the presentation or shift during retrieves.

Which leader should you choose for boat squid fishing?

Ika Metal Leader: pair a sutte with a weighted lure

Ika Metal Leader rigs are designed for ika metal fishing. They organize the presentation around a terminal weighted lure, with one or more additional suttes depending on the version.

Choose a setup that is easy to handle with your rod. The length of the rig and its branch lines affect lure spacing and freedom of movement.

Omo Rig Leader: separate the sinker from the egi

Omo Rig Leader rigs are designed for omorig fishing, in which the sinker and egi are on separate branches. They can be used with a lure dedicated to this technique, such as the Yamashita Hover.

Check the configuration of the selected model before connecting your components. A properly deployed rig makes it easier to track the lure and limits tangles.

Light Ika Leader: set up a multi-sutte rig

Light Ika Leaders allow you to rig several suttes on a leader for squid fishing. They provide a base to equip with your lures and a suitable weight.

Compare the overall length and number of available positions. To get started, choose a setup you can lower, work, and retrieve cleanly.

Hato Ika Set 5-1: a rig already fitted with suttes

Several 5 cm Oppai Suttes on the same rig

The Yamashita Hato Ika Set 5-1 includes a rig fitted with several 5 cm Oppai Suttes. It provides a ready-to-use set of lures for targeting cephalopods, especially from a boat.

It therefore has its place in this selection alongside leaders to rig yourself. Check the contents of the set to plan the connections and weight needed for your use.

Take the time to deploy the rig

Before lowering the rig, check that each sutte is free and that the branch lines are not crossed. Guide the descent to limit tangles.

Start with measured retrieves followed by pauses. When you get a bite, note the depth and rhythm used so you can try to reproduce that presentation.

Egi-oh Ika Shime: complete your fishing gear

The Egi-oh Ika Shime is a tool designed to dispatch retained squid. It also features a device for straightening bent crown hooks, as well as a protective cap for transport.

After use, rinse it, let it dry, and replace its protective cover before storing it.
