Product highlights
The Yamashita Naory Squish 1.2 005 SEKM Keimura Body squid jig is specially developed for the technical fishing of squid and other cephalopods at sea. Its soft body coated with the renowned Warm Jacket replicates the warmth of live prey, making the lure more convincing and more attractive to cephalopods, even when the water is cool or activity is low. Designed for quick, repeated actions, it excels in Tataki fishing and is equally effective when mounted in tandem above a main egi.
The Keimura Body of this 005 SEKM model reacts particularly well to UV, enhancing the lure's visibility in deeper water layers or low-light conditions. Combined with a compact, balanced profile, this finish provides a natural, stable presentation that is extremely attractive to wary squid, whether from a boat or from shore.

Advantages and key features
The main strength of the Naory Squish 1.2 005 SEKM lies in the combination of a soft body and the Warm Jacket technology. Where a classic squid jig relies on shape and attractive colors, this model adds a thermal dimension that reinforces the illusion of real prey. Squid hold the jig longer in their beaks, which significantly increases hook-up rates, especially in vertical fishing.
The Keimura finish provides a clear advantage for targeting specific zones or during night sessions and dusk. Under natural or artificial UV light, the body gains subtle but very visible reflections for cephalopods, without frightening wary individuals. This discreet luminosity is ideal in pressured fishing areas or during peak fishing times.
- Excellent versatility at sea: can be used drifting, anchored, or in sustained vertical action.
- Particularly effective for fast Tataki tactics, where bites often occur on the fall.
- Easy to mount in tandem above an egi to multiply signals and optimize catches.
- An ideal addition to a selection of classic squid jigs with a model offering a soft body and thermal effect.
- Japanese manufacturing known for reliability and long life, even under intensive use.
Usage tips
The Yamashita Naory Squish 1.2 005 SEKM Keimura Body performs best when mounted on a leader adapted to Tataki fishing. Place it above a main egi or use several on a multi-branch rig to cover different water heights. Perform short, sharp actions followed by brief pauses: squid often take advantage of these pauses to seize the jig.
To make the most of the Warm Jacket coating, favor use in cool waters or at the start and end of the season, times when the temperature difference between prey and environment can trigger more attacks. Don’t hesitate to vary the rhythm: fast sequences to search, then slower actions when bites occur to allow cephalopods time to take the lure.
When mounting in tandem above an egi, space the jigs well to avoid tangles and provide the most natural presentation possible. A fine braid combined with a discreet fluorocarbon leader optimizes sensitivity and stealth while showcasing the Keimura Body of the jig.
