Even if it says it fits size 4.0, you still hesitate whether the sinker and the hook canopy will actually sit in the case.

The same count of jigs can feel easier or harder to take out depending on the case shape.

For size 4.0, candidates split by supported size and overall length. For a large canopy, they split by storage type.

Recommendations by condition are in the quick table.

Daiwa size-4.0 fit

The Daiwa Emeraldas Egi Holder T (B) S holds about 10 egi up to size 4.0.

It is a two-sided type with a long protective cover for the canopy, so it is the pick for people who bring a small number of size-4.0 jigs.

If you will bring about 16 size-3.5 jigs, the M in the same series is the pick.
