Manufacturing Authority: The Precision Engineering of HK Tackle Squid Bait

As a leading B2B exporter of squid bait, HK Tackle’s primary differentiator is our deep commitment to material science and manufacturing precision. Unlike simple lure assembly, the EGI jig requires highly specialized injection molding and fabric wrapping processes to ensure optimal performance and longevity in corrosive marine environments. Our adherence to the strictest manufacturing protocols elevates your private label brand’s standing in the eyes of informed global retailers.

1. Core Body Integrity: Advanced Injection Molding

The structural integrity of a **squid bait** starts with the core body. We utilize high-grade, impact-resistant ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin for our bodies. Our multi-cavity injection molds are constructed from precision-milled P20 steel, guaranteeing dimensional tolerance within **±0.05 mm** across large-volume runs.

• Internal Ribbing Structure: We incorporate advanced internal ribbing to maximize stiffness and prevent warping, a common failure point when jigs are subjected to high pressure or rapid temperature changes (e.g., during transit between climates). This internal structure also serves to precisely anchor the internal weighting system.
• Waterproofing: Water intrusion through the seams or the eye-line is the primary cause of jig failure. HK Tackle utilizes ultrasonic welding at all critical fusion points, creating a hermetic seal that completely eliminates water seepage, preserving the luminous films and rattle chamber integrity over thousands of casts.
• “Shell-Look” Technology: For our premium **squid bait** line, we employ a dual-shot injection process to create a partially transparent, holographic shell-like body. This transparent layer is crucial for refracting light in murky conditions, mimicking the natural translucency of shrimp and small fish prey.

This technical rigor ensures our jigs maintain perfect balance and function long after cheaper, solvent-welded jigs have failed.

2. Color Science: Exploiting Squid Vision with Keimura and Akami

The selection of fabric and finish for a **squid bait** is an applied science based on the principle of light penetration and squid photoreceptors. HK Tackle specializes in proprietary color technologies highly sought after in the Japanese and Mediterranean markets.

Keimura (UV Reflective) Technology

Keimura refers to a specific UV-reactive finish. Unlike simple fluorescent paints, Keimura absorbs deep-penetrating UV wavelengths and re-emits them in the blue/violet spectrum. This is critical because squid possess visual pigments optimized to see short-wavelength blue light. Our Keimura-coated bodies maximize this effect, making the lure highly visible in deep, clear water where red and green light has been filtered out. This is a must-have feature for brands targeting the competitive Australian and Japanese Eging markets.

Akami (Red/Blood Glow) Body

Akami means “red body.” This is a specialized luminous base color that, when wrapped with a dark, natural fabric, creates a blood-red glow effect. This visual signature is believed to mimic a distressed or injured organism, or the internal organs of prey, triggering an instinctual feeding response, especially during dusk, dawn, or low-light conditions. We offer over 5 distinct shades of Akami glow intensity tailored to water clarity preferences of clients.

3. Crown Geometry, Durability, and Corrosion Testing

The terminal end of the **squid bait**—the crown—determines the conversion rate of a strike into a successful catch. We apply engineering principles to optimize hook design:

• Staggered Needle Geometry: We employ a precision-staggered double-crown arrangement where the needle tips are offset. This geometry maximizes the probability of engagement during a short, aggressive strike without increasing the overall bulk or profile of the hook set.
• Wire Tensile Strength: Our high-carbon steel wire undergoes cryogenic treatment to increase tensile strength, ensuring the needle crown can withstand the powerful suction and pull of large squid species without bending or snapping.
• Advanced Anti-Corrosion Finish: All crowns are treated with a specialized chemical black nickel plating. This plating is tested via a 240-hour Neutral Salt Spray (NSS) test, significantly exceeding standard industry requirements to guarantee maximum rust resistance in highly corrosive marine water.

4. Global Market Strategy & Data-Driven Design

A successful wholesale strategy for **squid bait** requires market-specific intelligence. Our R&D team continuously analyzes catch data and regional preferences to ensure your product mix is perfectly aligned with local demand. This data-driven approach minimizes inventory risk for our B2B partners.

Regional Size and Weight Optimization

We provide consultation on optimal jig sizes based on target geography. For example, markets such as Japan and Korea favor smaller jigs (Size #2.5 to #3.0) for shallower, faster Eging techniques, targeting smaller squid (e.g., *Sepia lycidas* or small *Loligo*). Conversely, deep-water fisheries in the Mediterranean and Atlantic often require larger, heavier **squid bait** (Size #3.5 to #4.0) with faster sink rates to reach greater depths and handle stronger currents when targeting species like the European flying squid (*Todarodes pacificus*).

Seasonality and Pattern Forecasting

Our sales analytics track seasonal demand shifts globally. For instance, the demand for natural, prawn-colored fabrics typically peaks during spring spawning, while high-contrast colors (e.g., orange/pink Keimura) dominate low-light winter fishing. HK Tackle provides a quarterly forecast report exclusively to our high-volume partners, allowing them to adjust purchase orders proactively and capture peak retail sales.

Our catalog includes over 2,000 unique SKUs, ensuring that whether your market demands classic “sardine” patterns or innovative “disruptive camouflage” wraps, we have the certified manufacturing capacity to meet it efficiently.

5. B2B Service: Logistics, Warranty, and Aftercare

Our relationship extends far beyond the factory floor. HK Tackle is your integrated supply chain partner, committed to minimizing your import risks and guaranteeing the quality of every **squid bait** shipment.

Logistics and Retail Packaging Excellence

We offer specialized packaging solutions:

1. Retail-Ready Clamshells: Custom-designed, recyclable PET clamshells or blister packs with high-definition graphic card inserts, maximizing shelf appeal and ready for immediate retail display. We offer FSC-certified cardboard options.
2. Bulk Master Cartons: For large-scale industrial orders, jigs are individually sleeved and packed in reinforced, humidity-controlled master cartons. We optimize carton dimensions to align with standard container loading metrics, ensuring minimal wasted space and maximum freight cost efficiency.

We provide comprehensive documentation including Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Certificates of Origin, and all necessary import declarations (e.g., fumigation certificates).

Quality Assurance and Warranty Policy

Every HK Tackle **squid bait** batch undergoes a rigorous Five-Point Quality Control (QC) Check before leaving the facility, including:

• Fabric Peel Strength Test (minimum 5N resistance).
• In-Water Sink Rate Verification.
• Needle Tip Alignment and Rigidity Test.
• Luminous Brightness and Duration Test (using photometer).
• Ultrasonic Seal Integrity Check.

Should any manufacturing defect be identified (e.g., water ingress, fabric separation) upon receipt, HK Tackle offers a **100% defect-replacement guarantee** on the subsequent order, providing our clients with total confidence in our manufacturing authority and consistency.
