About this piece
The Daiwa Samurai Jig R is a redesigned metal jig built for shore jigging, offering improved casting distance and big-fish readiness. Its revised weight balance and slimmed belly stabilize flight in headwinds and crosswinds, while reducing line tangles. The jig is equipped with a fluorine-coated Saksus assist hook in front and a heavy-duty treble hook in the rear for reliable hookups on powerful fish.
