About this piece
The Daiwa Samurai Jig R 30g is a renewed shore jigging metal jig designed for enhanced casting distance, big-fish fighting ability, and tangle resistance. A revised center of gravity shifts weight slightly rearward for stable flight even in headwinds, while a thinned head with a thicker lip reduces tailing (line tangling on the hook). The front features a short, fluorine-coated Saksas assist hook with tinsel for quick penetration and tangle resistance, and the rear is equipped with a heavy-gauge treble hook to handle large pelagics. New color additions are optimized for Spanish mackerel, juvenile Spanish mackerel, and cutlassfish.
