About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Neko Metal 30g is a meticulously engineered metal jig designed to excel in saltwater jigging applications. Focusing on the critical fall phase when most bites occur, this jig delivers an irresistible underwater posture through extensive R&D. It handles various retrieves—one-pitch jerks, lift-and-fall, and high-speed winding—without losing stability, while a reversible design inherited from the previous model allows action tuning for different conditions.
