About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a heavy metal jig designed for deep-sea vertical jigging. Its unique weight balance (70% front, 30% rear) ensures an aggressive sideways fall after the jerk, maintaining a horizontal posture for optimal flashing. The irregular diamond-shaped cross-section—with edges, flats, and rounded surfaces—creates a balanced water flow for ideal fluttering action.
