About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a metal jig designed for bait jigging, featuring a unique 73 balance and diagonal flushing fall action. Its asymmetrical diamond cross-section and 7:3 front-to-rear weight distribution create an erratic falling motion that triggers strikes from finicky targets. This jig responds quickly even with minimal line slack jerks, making it highly effective for deep-water jigging applications.
