About this piece
Daiwa's Samurai Jig R is a redesigned metal jig for shore jigging, engineered for improved casting distance and reduced line tangles. The 60g model features a slimmed belly and rearward weight bias for stable flight even in crosswinds, while the thinned head cuts water resistance for better action response. Front assist hook uses a Saksas fluorine-coated hook with tinsel dressing for instant penetration, and the rear treble hook is heavy-duty for larger fish.
