About this piece
The Issei Umitaro Neko Metal is a meticulously engineered metal jig designed to excel in saltwater jigging. Its falling posture has been refined through extensive prototyping to trigger strikes that often occur during the descent phase. The jig accommodates various retrieve styles including one-pitch jerking, lift-and-fall, and high-speed winding without losing stability.
