Advantages and key features
The main strength of this slow-sinking shallow jig is its ability to remain longer in the strike zone. Over rocky ledges, seagrass edges or shallow harbor areas, the 4.5 s/m sink rate gives cephalopods time to follow and seize the lure.
The red 490 Glow body enhances visual appeal—especially at low light or in slightly murky water. This specific shade, combined with the 490 Glow luminous technology, helps it stand out from standard jigs.
The blue eyes and blue feather are not just aesthetic: they make the SHALLOW version immediately recognizable in your boxes, saving valuable time when changing rigs.
Usage tips
The EGI OH SEARCH 3.0 SHALLOW 091 IRP performs best in calm sea conditions when fishing spots between two and a few meters deep. Work it over rocky areas, seagrass edges or harbor structures where cephalopods hunt.
After casting, let the jig sink while maintaining contact with the line to feel strikes during the fall. Thanks to its slow sink rate, you can count seconds mentally (about 4.5 s/m) to accurately control fishing depth.
Then animate with a series of jerks of varying amplitude, followed by long pauses to exploit the slow-fall potential. During high fishing pressure, reduce animation amplitude and prefer smoother, steadier movements.
Testimonials
