This lure has no hook... and squid still can't let go. 🦑 It's called an egi, and it's been fooling squid since the age of the samurai. Legend says it began in southern Japan, when a squid grabbed a burnt stick floating by a fisherman's fire. A squid hunts with its eyes, fires two tentacles in about 30 milliseconds and hugs its prey with eight arms. That hug is the whole trick: the lead under the egi's chin makes it sink slowly, tilted like a shrimp, and at the tail two crowns of barbless needle
