About this piece
The Daiwa TG Bait Tachiuo is a compact tungsten jig designed specifically for the popular Tokyo Bay tachiuo (beltfish) jigging fishery. Its ultra-high-density tungsten body (1.7x the specific gravity of lead) allows a smaller, stealthier profile that falls faster and cuts through strong currents and two-layer tides to reach the strike zone quickly.
Key features
- Asymmetrical body design creates a swimming action on the retrieve and a horizontal sliding fall.
- Tungsten construction offers 1.7× the density of lead for compact size with heavy weight.
- Faster fall speed improves bottom contact in strong current or two-layer tide conditions.
- Horizontal fall posture mimics a wounded or fleeing baitfish.
Best for
- Saltwater jigging for tachiuo (beltfish / largehead hairtail).
- Deep-water fishing with strong tidal currents or two-layer tide situations.
- Anglers seeking a compact, fast-sinking metal jig for vertical or slow-pitch jigging.
