Description

The Cuttlefish has a wider profile than the standard 4.5" squid and is a closer replication to that of an actual squid. The Cuttlefish features a longer head, shorter tentacles and a soft clear "fin" on the upper portion of the body for added flutter and movement. These premium soft baits are manufactured in Japan (Yamashita) using high quality specialty vinyl. These squids feature a soft and supple unique material and offer a life like action when trolled behind a Flasher or Dodger. Available rigged with dual Sharp 4/0 Hooks tied on 40lb Leader and Unrigged 5 Packs (Yamashita brand). Storage Note: Store soft plastic squids away from other plastics such as beads, spacers and other soft plastic baits as melting can occur. Store out of direct sunlight in a cool dry place and rinse after salt water use.

Field Notes

This soft squid is designed to be trolled behind a flasher or dodger, where its wider profile and fluttering fin create lifelike movement. It is a good choice when targeting saltwater species that respond to squid imitations, especially in open-water trolling presentations.

Pros

  • Realistic squid profile with added flutter
  • Soft, supple vinyl for lifelike action
  • Can be used rigged or unrigged

Cons

  • Best suited to trolling rather than casting
  • Soft vinyl can be damaged if stored with other plastics
