About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Neko Metal is a precisely engineered metal jig designed for shore jigging and targeting species like yellowtail (buri). Its fall-oriented design focuses on attracting strikes during the descent phase, a critical moment in metal jig fishing. The jig maintains stable action across various retrieves, including one-pitch jerks, lift-and-fall, and high-speed winding.
Key features
- Optimized fall posture developed through extensive prototyping to trigger bites.
- Reversible design allows changing action characteristics for different conditions.
- Equipped with long, glow tinsel center-axis hooks (2 hooks) by default.
- Responds consistently to multiple retrieve styles: slow fall, fast wind, and jerks.
Best for
- Shore jigging for yellowtail (buri) and similar pelagic predators.
- Deep water or current-rich environments where controlled fall action is effective.
