The 3.5 size normal CLINCH EXCOUNTER is the most commonly used standard size throughout the year and smoothly adapts to the current, delivering a stable darting action and a natural fall that creates the perfect timing for a strike. Its rich color variations allow it to be used widely from day to night and from clear to murky tides. The 3.8 size is designed specifically for targeting large parent squid that come to shore from spring through early summer, with its substantial silhouette providing strong appeal even from a distance, while its large-size dedicated hooks and enhanced water bite improves hookup rates. It is also active during the highly active season in autumn and has the power to capture monster bigfin reef squid. The 3.5-size base point and the 3.8-size strategy are not in opposition but designed with the same philosophy to complement each other, broadening the scope of squid fishing when used appropriately according to the situation.
