Product Details and Uses

Sunset Sunsquid Shin Ika DCB – The Dual-Contrast Cephalopod Specialist

The Sunset Sunsquid Shin Ika DCB is a high-performance squid jig (Egi) designed for the modern lure angler who demands both technical innovation and environmental responsibility. Built around the revolutionary Dual Color Body (D.C.B) concept, these jigs are engineered to trigger the predatory instincts of squid and cuttlefish by utilizing shifting contrasts that mimic the natural camouflage-breaking movements of prey.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we are particularly impressed by the build quality of the Shin Ika series. By moving away from traditional lead weights and opting for a lead-free construction, Sunset has created a lure that is as kind to the marine environment as it is deadly to the fish. The combination of high-end Japanese-style fabric and world-renowned BKK hooks ensures that once a squid strikes, it stays pinned.

Advanced Tactical Features

Dual Color Body (D.C.B) Concept: This unique design offers two distinct body colors. As the jig “darts” and “falls” through the water column, the changing contrast mimics a panicked baitfish, making it far more visible and enticing than single-color alternatives.
Double BKK Hooks: Fitted with two rows of ultra-sharp BKK crown hooks. BKK is famous for its “unparalleled quality,” providing the strength and sharpness required to penetrate the tough, rubbery tentacles of large cephalopods.
Premium Fabric Texture: Wrapped in a high-quality, abrasive-resistant fabric. This texture not only creates micro-vibrations in the water but also gives the squid a “natural” feel when they grab the lure, encouraging them to hold on longer.
Phosphorescent Eye: Features a glow-in-the-dark “target point” that acts as a beacon in deep water or during night sessions, focusing the squid’s attack directly onto the hook section.
Eco-Friendly Weighting: The lead-free weight system provides a perfect, stable “sink rate” while adhering to modern environmental standards, making it ideal for use in protected coastal waters.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios

The Shin Ika DCB excels in various light-game environments:

Shore-Based Eging: The #2.5 and #3.0 sizes are perfect for casting from piers, harbor walls, or rocky outcrops. The DCB contrast is particularly effective in the clear water often found in these areas.
Night Fishing: Utilize the phosphorescent eyes and the high-contrast body colors under pier lights. The glow provides a visual “trigger” in the darkness.
Boat-Based Drifting: The heavier #3.5 size (21g) is ideal for fishing from a drifting boat in deeper water (5–10m), where the dual-color contrast remains visible even as light levels drop.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

To get the most out of the Shin Ika DCB, use a “sink and draw” retrieve. Cast out, let the jig sink to the desired depth (count it down!), and then give the rod two or three sharp upward “flicks.” This makes the jig dart erratically, showing off the Dual Color Body contrast. On the subsequent “fall,” keep a slightly tight line; most squid will grab the jig as it slowly descends. If the action slows down, give the phosphorescent eyes a quick “charge” with your UV headlamp to increase the lure’s visibility
