About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a metal jig designed specifically for slow-pitch (slow-fall) bottom jigging, featuring a unique weight balance of 70% front and 30% rear combined with an irregular diamond cross-section. This construction allows the jig to respond sensitively to minimal line slack and produce an oblique flashing fall that triggers reaction strikes from wary fish.
Key features
- 70:30 front-to-rear weight balance with irregular rhomboid cross-section
- Semi-long profile designed for bait jigging with oblique fall action
- Rapid response to even small amounts of line slack during the jerk
- Constructed from lead with a durable painted finish
- Recommended for use with 40-80 lb leader and assist hooks size #3/0 to #7/0
Best for
- Slow-pitch and bait jigging for bottom-dwelling species like amberjack, yellowtail, and snapper
- Offshore saltwater fishing in deep water where a subtle, fluttering fall triggers bites
