About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Neko Metal is a well-crafted metal jig designed to deliver an attractive falling action that triggers strikes during the descent. Its carefully researched fall posture, achieved through extensive prototyping, makes it highly effective for metal jigging.
Key features
- Optimized falling posture to maximize bite opportunities during the descent.
- Performs reliably across various retrieves: one-pitch jerk, lift & fall, and high-speed winding.
- Reversible design allows swapping front and rear to change action characteristics.
- Equipped with Muscle Hologram finish (except #019, #021 which use plated hologram) for enhanced appeal.
- Available without hooks (80g–260g sizes) for custom rigging.
Best for
- Saltwater jigging targeting pelagic fish like tuna, amberjack, and yellowtail.
- Situations demanding precise control over jig fall rate and posture.
- Anglers who prefer to choose their own assist hooks and split rings.
