About this piece
The Jig Rip Amenouo is a purpose-built metal jig for cherry salmon, refined by expert angler Makoto Ono across the premier waters of Tohoku and Hokkaido. Its low-center-of-gravity rear balance design delivers an instant transition from jerk to a sharp vertical or sliding fall, triggering aggressive strikes. Named after the ancient Biwa trout lineage, this jig embodies the primordial instinct of the species.
