Product Details and Uses

Sakura Stingray Soft 3.0 (16.2g)

The “Natural Feel” Cephalopod Specialist – Soft Body Technology

The Sakura Stingray Soft 3.0 represents a significant evolution in “Eging” (squid and cuttlefish) lure design. Unlike traditional hard-bodied jigs, the Stingray Soft features a specialized Soft PVC body. This unique material serves two critical purposes: it captures and retains heat/light more effectively than hard plastic, and it provides a “squishy” tactile sensation that mimics the flesh of a real prey fish. When a squid touches this lure with its tentacles, it is much less likely to let go, giving you a wider window to set the hooks.

With its 16.2g weight and 95mm profile, the size 3.0 is a versatile all-rounder. It features an eco-friendly zinc alloy weight (0% lead) and a technical darting action that triggers the predatory instincts of cephalopods through high-frequency movement.

Technical Highlights

Thermal & Luminous Retention: The soft PVC skin is designed to hold onto ambient light and thermal energy. In the cold depths of the ocean, a lure that feels “warmer” or glows with a softer, more organic luminescence can be the key to success when the fishing is tough.
Magnetic Darting Action: Despite its soft exterior, the internal structure is built for performance. With sharp rod twitches, the Stingray Soft zips side-to-side, mimicking a panicked prawn or small fish.
Premium BKK Crowns: Sakura hasn’t compromised on the business end, using ultra-sharp, stainless steel BKK double hook crowns. These are designed to penetrate the softest tentacles instantly and resist corrosion from salt spray.
Advanced Visual Cues: The 3D eye is fully phosphorescent, providing a clear “kill point.” The body features a mix of glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive paints, ensuring the lure remains visible regardless of water depth or light levels.

Where & How to Use It

Cold-Water Eging: Because the PVC body retains heat better than hard plastic, this lure is particularly effective during the winter months or in deep, cold currents where squid are more lethargic.
Daylight UV Sessions: The UV-reactive colors “pop” under the sun’s rays, even in deeper water where standard colors fade. This makes it an excellent choice for mid-day sessions from piers or boats.
Night Fishing: Use a UV torch to “charge” the phosphorescent 3D eye and the body. The soft glow emitted by the PVC material is more subtle and natural-looking than the harsh glare of some hard jigs.
Harbors and Estuaries: The 16.2g weight provides a stable, slow sink rate that is perfect for working the middle of the water column in depths of 4 to 8 meters.

Gerry’s Pro Tip:

“The ‘Soft’ version of the Stingray is my secret weapon for finicky squid. If you find you’re getting ‘taps’ on your hard jigs but no hook-ups, switch to the Soft 3.0. The texture makes the squid hold on just a fraction longer because it feels like real food. At 16.2g, it’s perfectly balanced for an 8ft Egi rod—just remember to give it a slightly longer pause on the drop to let that soft body do its magic
