About this piece
The Daiwa Saltiga 73 Chopper is a metal jig designed by Seiichi Shimizu for offshore saltwater jigging. Its unique 7:3 front-to-rear weight balance and irregular diamond-shaped cross-section enable a diagonal flashing fall that triggers hesitant fish into biting.
Key features
- 7:3 front-to-rear weight balance for diagonal fall after the jerk
- Irregular diamond-shaped cross-section with edge, flat, and round surfaces for tuned water flow
- Responsive to minimal line slack jerks
- Three sizes and three glow color variants available
Best for
- Offshore saltwater jigging (slow pitch or speed jigging)
- Targeting tuna, amberjack, yellowtail, and other pelagic species
- Conditions where a subtle, flashing fall action is needed to provoke bites
