About this piece
The Crazy Ocean Tonbo Jig is a specialized metal jig designed for the demanding technique of albacore jigging (tonjigi) off the coast of Mie, Japan. It targets deep-water tuna that cruise through tide rips at depths often exceeding 100 meters in heavy current conditions. This jig offers a versatile profile that balances fast fall speed, low retrieve resistance, strong appeal, and convincing action to trigger strikes.
Key features
- Dedicated albacore jigging design proven through extensive development testing
- Low-drag shape for fast descent to target depth in strong currents
- Light retrieval resistance for sustained high- or slow-pitch jigging
- Strong visual appeal to attract fish even when depth is slightly off
- Versatile action effective for long casts, fast pitches, and fall presentations
Best for
- Deep-water jigging for albacore (bincho) and tuna species
- Offshore conditions with strong wind and current drift
- Fishing over deep structure and tide rips beyond 100 m depth
