About this piece
The Daiwa Samurai Jig R is a refined metal jig engineered for the competitive world of shore jigging. Building on the original Samurai Jig, this version enhances casting distance, action versatility, and hooking reliability. With a redesigned weight balance and thinner head, it flies farther and responds crisply to rod work.
