One of the hottest topics in the jigging fishing market in Japan right now is the release of the Glow Emperor Jerk by On The Blue, an established fishing brand originating from a fishing charter service in Japan. This real squid imitation jig is earning excellent reviews.
Excitingly, the latest news reveals an even more substantial development – the highly effective jig will now be available in larger sizes, weighing 250g and 300g.
Let’s check it further with real reviews from Japanese anglers.
Squid Imitation Real Jig
The Glow Emperor is a jig offered by On The Blue, available in various sizes, and designed to resemble a real squid. Based on their experiences, they found squids to be truly fascinating baits for fish. The idea was to create a jig that not only looks like a squid but also behaves like one, and thus, the Glow Emperor was born.
And since it’s released, its’ earning great reviews from Japanese anglers like:
During the Tai Rubber expedition to the remote islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, I was surprised to catch large sea bream, various large groupers, yellowtail, and other colorful and large fish using lures weighing between 120g and 150g. It’s a must-bring for the next expedition.

Effective for various blue fish, including juvenile tuna (of course, released without bringing them aboard). It works well during both the fall and retrieval. Easy to use.
Amazon Product Review
It’s quite difficult to get one’s hands on it as it’s often sold out in shops, so this is very helpful. It catches fish and is highly recommended. The staff at the shop are also very courteous, and the packaging is neat. I’ve made an additional purchase. Thank you again, and I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Great Working 3 Features – Oval Eye / Side Fins / Leg Fin
The Glow Emperor boasts three distinctive and highly effective features:
Oval Eye: The eye is uniquely shaped as an oval rather than a circle, facilitating irregular movements that enhance its natural appearance.
Side Fins / Leg Fin: These distinctive fins provide water resistance, generating squid-like actions such as suspension, a slow wobbling fall, and wide sliding.
All colors incorporate glow and Keimura colors, which have been proven through their experiences to be notably effective.
