The Kingdom EGI PRO Sinking Squid Jig (Model 4518) is a dedicated night and low-light squid jig built around a built-in luminous plate and laser paper for glow-in-the-dark visibility, with an additional feature that sets it apart from standard EGI jigs: a stainless steel wire bait clip on the jig body that allows real prawn or shrimp to be secured to the lure alongside the artificial shrimp body. Two sizes — 100mm/9.9g and 115mm/13.8g — in six colour options. All $11.95.
Kingdom EGI PRO Squid Jig Range — Model Comparison
EGI PRO 5525 (this store) — magnetic gravity-shift system for maximum casting distance and stable flight; luminous soft silicone legs; sizes #2.5, #3.0, #3.5; 6 colours; suited to open-water casting from rocks and boats where distance is the priority
EGI PRO 4518 (this product) — sinking jig with luminous plate and laser paper glow; stainless wire bait clip for attaching real bait; 100mm and 115mm; 6 colours; suited to night fishing and situations where combining artificial and real scent/bait produces better results
The Stainless Wire Bait Clip
The stainless steel wire clip is mounted on the jig body and allows a small piece of real prawn, shrimp or other natural bait to be fixed to the lure. This combination — artificial lure body plus real bait — adds a scent and texture trigger to the visual and luminous triggers already present on the jig. Squid are visual predators but also respond to scent and touch when investigating prey; a jig that delivers both artificial visual triggers and real bait scent at the same time can produce significantly better results in conditions where squid are being selective or where the water is turbid enough to reduce the effectiveness of purely visual triggers. Night fishing is the primary application — in darkness, squid rely more heavily on scent and luminous visual triggers than on the detailed colour patterns of the jig body.
Luminous System — Plate and Laser Paper
The jig uses two complementary luminous components. The built-in luminous plate is a photoluminescent insert that absorbs light and re-emits it as a glow in low-light and dark conditions — charge the jig under a torch or phone light for maximum glow before fishing. The laser paper panel creates a flash and reflective effect as the jig falls and darts, imitating the reflective flash of a fleeing prawn. Together, the two systems make the jig visible and attractive to squid across the full range of night-fishing light conditions from full dark to low ambient light.
Key Features
Stainless wire bait clip — allows real prawn, shrimp or cut bait to be secured to the jig body; adds scent and texture triggers to complement the artificial visual triggers; particularly effective at night and in turbid water where scent detection outperforms visual detection
Built-in luminous plate — photoluminescent insert glows in dark conditions; charge under a torch or direct light source before fishing; primary visibility trigger for night squid fishing
Laser paper panel — reflective laser sheet creates a flash effect as the jig falls and darts; imitates the reflective flash of a fleeing prawn in low-light conditions
Realistic shrimp paint — detailed shrimp pattern body paint mimics the natural appearance of a live prawn or shrimp at inspection range
Sinking ABS hard body — ABS construction with a sinking density for stable, predictable fall rate on the drop; suitable for controlling jig depth in varying water depths
Matched sharp squid hooks — sharp umbrella-style squid hooks matched to each jig size for reliable hookups on squid, cuttlefish and octopus
Size Guide
100mm / 9.9g — lighter presentation for calmer conditions, shallower water and smaller squid; suits lighter EGI rods and lines (PE #0.6–#0.8)
115mm / 13.8g — slightly larger and heavier; deeper water, stronger current and larger arrow squid; faster sink rate than the 100mm in the same conditions
