Eging, also known as squid fishing with an Egi, is a specialized form of fishing that originated in Japan and is now popular around the world. Eging involves using a specialized lure called an Egi, which is designed to mimic the movements of a live squid in the water.

The Egi lure is typically made of a soft, silicone material that is molded to look like a small squid. It is weighted to sink quickly in the water and is equipped with a series of small barbs that help to secure the squid when it is bitten.

Eging is often done at night when squid are most active and attracted to light. Anglers will use a specialized light source to attract the squid to the surface and then cast their Egi lure into the water, using a technique known as "jigging" to create a lifelike movement that entices the squid to bite.

Eging requires a specialized set of equipment, including a light source, a rod and reel, a spool of specialized Egi line, and a selection of Egi lures in different sizes and colors to match the conditions and the preferences of the squid.

Eging can be a challenging but rewarding form of fishing, as it requires a high level of skill and patience to successfully land a squid on an Egi lure. However, the experience of feeling a squid bite and seeing the lure light up in the dark water is a unique and unforgettable experience that has made Eging a popular pursuit among avid anglers around the world.
