About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga Jive Chopper is a short-type metal jig designed for bait jigging, supervised by Kazunari Shimizu. Engineered with a focus on the lure's posture during the retrieve to trigger strikes, it balances slightly rearward for a quick switchback action from fall to jerk that excites the predator's feeding instinct. This 180g model (137mm) is suited for targeting Sakura masu trout and nearshore pelagics in bait jigging applications, with additional colors like ML Keimura UV Glow Head Silver offering visibility in low-light conditions.
