About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a heavyweight metal jig designed for deep-water angling, weighing in at 300g with a 73mm length. It features a unique 7:3 front-to-rear weight balance that allows the jig to rest horizontally after a jerk and then fall at a controlled oblique angle, maximizing flash and appeal. The irregular diamond-shaped cross-section tunes water flow across its edges, flat surfaces, and rounded faces for optimal fluttering action.
