DUEL Aurie-Q 3.5 GM Gold Green – Japanese Squid Jig

The DUEL Aurie-Q is a proven Japanese squid jig designed for anglers who demand a natural presentation, sharp darting action and a stable fall. A long-standing favourite in the DUEL egi range, the Aurie-Q is an excellent choice for targeting Australian calamari and squid from the rocks, jetties, beaches and boat.

The #3.5 size and 19g weight make the Aurie-Q a versatile all-rounder for Australian eging. Its combination of casting distance, responsive darting action and controlled sinking makes it well suited to working weed beds, reef edges, rocky structure, jetties and deeper water where squid are commonly found.

The  Gold Green colour provides an attractive gold and green presentation that can be particularly useful when you want a strong but natural-looking squid jig.

Designed for Australian Squid Fishing

The DUEL Aurie-Q has been engineered around two important characteristics that make an egi effective: quick darting action and a stable fall. DUEL describes the Aurie-Q as combining quick darting with a stable sinking action designed to entice squid to strike during the fall.

For Australian anglers, this makes the Aurie-Q #3.5 a great choice for traditional eging techniques. Cast the jig, allow it to sink to your desired depth, then work it with sharp rod lifts or jerks before allowing it to pause and fall.

That controlled fall is often the critical part of the presentation, giving squid an opportunity to follow and grab the jig as it drops.

Why Fish the DUEL Aurie-Q 3.5?

The #3.5 Aurie-Q is an excellent general-purpose squid jig size. At 19g, it provides enough weight for good casting distance while still maintaining a controlled presentation.

The 26 GM Gold Green colour is a versatile option to have in the egi box, particularly when fishing around natural structure, weed and reef where a green/gold presentation can blend with the surrounding environment while still providing plenty of visual attraction.

The Aurie-Q also features DUEL's Trick Hook system. The rounded hook design is intended to improve hook recovery after contact with structure while helping reduce the chance of squid escaping once hooked.

How to Fish the DUEL Aurie-Q

The Aurie-Q #3.5 works well with a straightforward cast, sink, dart and pause approach.

After casting, allow the jig to sink to the required depth. Use a series of sharp rod lifts or short jerks to make the egi dart through the water, then pause and allow it to sink naturally.

Watch your line carefully during the fall. Squid will often grab an egi while it is sinking, and a sudden change in line angle, slack line or unusual weight can indicate a bite.

Adjust the number of seconds you allow the jig to sink according to water depth, current and squid activity. The published sink rate of approximately 3.2 sec/m provides a useful starting point for estimating the jig's depth.

The DUEL Aurie-Q #3.5 26 GM is an excellent choice for anglers targeting Australian calamari, including those fishing from the rocks, jetties, beaches, estuaries and boats.

Whether you're chasing squid in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia or Queensland, a quality #3.5 egi like the Aurie-Q is an essential addition to an Australian squid fishing tackle box.
