About this piece
The Daiwa Samurai Jig R is an upgraded metal jig designed for shore jigging, delivering enhanced casting distance, stability in wind, and tangle-free performance. With a rebalanced center of gravity and thinned head, it offers superior water-slicing action and responsive movement at both high-speed and slow-pitch retrieves. Equipped with a tinsel SakuSasu assist hook upfront and a heavy-duty treble at the rear, it’s built to hook and hold big predators.
Key features
- Redesigned weight distribution: Rearward CG for stable flight and extra casting distance
- Thinned head profile improves water slicing, action crispness, and reduces line tangles
- Fluorine-coated SakuSasu front assist hook with tinsel for instant hook penetration
- Shortened assist hook for faster hooking response and less fouling
- Thick-wire high-strength rear treble to withstand hard fights from large fish
- Glow color “Sagoshi Fuyajou” effective in low light for Spanish mackerel and cutlassfish
Best for
- Shore jigging from rocky breakwaters and piers targeting Spanish mackerel (sagoshi)
- Fast retrieves and aggressive jigging for pelagic species like amberjack and bonito
- Slow-pitch and finesse jigging when fish are hesitant
- Low-light conditions (dawn, dusk, overcast) where glow patterns excel
