About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a premium metal jig designed for offshore saltwater jigging, developed under the supervision of Seiichi Shimizu. Its unique 7:3 front-to-rear weight balance and irregular diamond-shaped cross-section create an angled flashing fall that triggers reaction strikes from wary gamefish.
