The floating dorsal section helps maintain the egi’s balance. After a few pulls, let it sink with a noticeable drift: excessive tension will cause the egi to return to you too quickly. This technique is ideal for shallow waters and cephalopods that follow the lure for extended periods.
The streamlined weight and double basket round out this version. If the current prevents you from feeling the lure’s presentation, first adjust your casting angle; the “Slow” setting is based on the effective pause time, not just on casting distance.
