About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a metal jig designed for deep-water bottom jigging (beito jigingu). Its unique weight distribution of 7:3 front-to-rear and faceted rhomboid cross-section produce an oblique flashing fall that triggers hesitant biters.
Key features
- 73-25 balance (70% front, 30% rear weight distribution)
- Oblique-flashing fall action with minimal line slack
- Twin or single short-assist hook recommended in #5/0–#7/0
- 300g weight for moderate to fast current and deep water
- Durable lead construction with controlled density.
Best for
- Offshore vertical jigging for tuna, amberjack, and bottom species.
- Deep-water beito jigging (targeting bottom-oriented predators).
- Situations requiring a jig that responds to short pocket movements without aggressive rod sweeps.
