Product highlights
The YAMASHITA NAORY RANGE 2.3D is an eging lure specifically developed for deep cephalopod fishing. Designed to target both squid and cuttlefish, this egi stands out for its fast, easily controlled sinking action, giving the angler excellent feedback on the water layer and enabling precise animation even when currents strengthen or depth increases.
Its design relies on a carefully shaped weight that efficiently crosses the water column. The NAORY RANGE 2.3D adopts a rapid, nervous darting action, easy to trigger with minimal rod movement. This ability to sharply change direction and leap laterally perfectly imitates a small fish or a distressed prey, provoking instinctive strikes from the wariest cephalopods.
Another major asset is its high-intensity glow body which ensures optimal visibility. The light emitted varies depending on the fabric covering the egi, enhancing lure perception in murky, stained waters or at night. The exclusive Warm Jacket technology reproduces and retains the slight temperature difference between the water and the body of a prey warmed by light, adding a thermal cue that convinces hesitant cephalopods.

Advantages and key features
The NAORY RANGE 2.3D is designed to give the angler maximum control. Its linear, steady sink helps you precisely count meters, which aids in locating the active depth range of cephalopods and keeping the lure in that zone as long as possible. In technical eging, this depth control is a decisive advantage, especially when bites are concentrated within a narrow water band.
Its highly responsive swimming action makes this egi a true magnet for active squid. At the slightest jerk, the lure performs quick lateral darts followed by stabilized glides, imitating an injured fish or a fleeing crustacean. This alternation of aggressive moves and controlled pauses triggers strikes from both active and more lethargic individuals.
The combo of high-intensity glow body and Warm Jacket technology provides a dual visual and thermal signature. In stained water, at dusk or during the night, this signature makes the egi silhouette much more readable even at long distance. Cephalopods perceive not only the emitted light but also a sensation of warmth similar to a living prey, significantly increasing strike rates and the quality of attacks.
Usage tips
To fully exploit the potential of the NAORY RANGE 2.3D, pair it with a sensitive eging rod and a fine braided line to best feel the sink, lure action and the slightest bite. After casting, let the egi fall while keeping light tension on the line and count the seconds: with a sink rate of about 2 seconds per meter, you can accurately estimate the depth reached before starting the retrieve/animation.
- Let the lure sink to the desired depth, keeping slight tension on the line to maintain contact.
- Then perform one or more sharp twitches to impart a pronounced darting action.
- Allow the lure to glide for a few moments, rod tip high or slightly lowered, to simulate a stabilizing prey.
- Repeat this sequence, varying amplitude and frequency of animations until you find the rhythm that triggers the most strikes.
- Adjust the descent time to remain in the depth layer where bites occur most often.
From boat or shore, don’t hesitate to probe different depths and adapt your animations according to current and cephalopod behavior. Thanks to its controlled sink and enhanced visibility, the NAORY RANGE 2.3D is particularly effective for quickly locating schools and maintaining contact with active individuals.
FAQ
Question 1: Is the NAORY RANGE 2.3D suitable for beginners in eging?
Answer: Yes, its weight engineered for steady sinking and its darting action that is easy to trigger make it a very accessible eging lure. Even a beginner can quickly master the animation and clearly feel bites.
Question 2: Is this egi reserved only for great depths?
Answer: No, while it excels in deep water or strong currents, the NAORY RANGE 2.3D remains effective at shallower depths. Simply adjust the sink time to work the desired water layer.
Question 3: Can the NAORY RANGE 2.3D be used from shore as well as from a boat?
Answer: Yes, this cephalopod lure is designed to be effective both from shore—on breakwaters and piers—and from boats, whether drifting or presented vertically. Its controlled sink, visibility and swimming action make it a versatile egi for many fishing grounds.
