About this piece
The Issei Neko Metal 40g is a metal jig designed specifically to maximize bites during the fall, based on the observation that most strikes on metal jig lures occur while the lure is dropping. After extensive prototyping, the jig achieves an optimized falling posture while remaining responsive to a variety of retrieves including one-pitch jerks, lift-and-fall, and high-speed winding.
Key features
- Weighs 40 grams for long-distance casting and deep-water fishing
- Reversible design inherited from the previous model allows adjustment of action characteristics
- Factory-equipped center-axis hook with long glowing tinsel to trigger strikes
- Engineered to maintain stable performance across different retrieval speeds
Best for
- Saltwater jigging from shore or boat targeting sea bass, flounder, and reef fish
- Bottom-contact fishing where a slow, fluttering fall entices cautious fish
- Anglers who need a versatile metal jig that works through the water column
