About this piece
The Issei Kaitaro Neko Metal Long is a metal jig designed for versatile saltwater fishing. Its elongated body and refined weight balance provide excellent control during various retrieves, from one-pitch jerks to fast winding.
Key features
- Long, slim body reduces water resistance for easy, high-tempo jigging.
- Weight balance shifted slightly toward center for stable horizontal fall with continuous flutter.
- Responsive to angler input: powerful jerks produce sharp darts, while gentle lifts yield straight rises.
- Suitable for both top-heavy and bottom-heavy presentations, maintaining the original Neko Metal's multi-use appeal.
Best for
- Saltwater jigging targeting pelagic species such as yellowtail, tuna, and amberjack.
- Bottom fishing for rockfish and flatfish when used with lift-and-fall tactics.
- Situations requiring a long fall time and erratic action to trigger reaction strikes.
