About this piece
The Smith CB. Muramasa 3S is a heavy metal jig designed for deep-water casting and vertical jigging, targeting large pelagic species like yellowtail. Its 3S concept—Spiral, Slide, Long Stay—creates a unique action where the lure spirals and slides horizontally after a jerk, then sinks slowly while rolling or reverse-sliding. The asymmetrical single-sided flat body reduces water resistance.
Key features
- Weight 250 g, length 205 mm — suited for deep and fast-current waters.
- Hookless setup (フックレス仕様) from the factory; requires angler's own assist hooks.
- Asymmetrical full-flat shape with no belly eye for minimal resistance.
- 3S action: initial spiral, then horizontal slide, then prolonged slow sink.
Best for
- Deep-water jigging for yellowtail (ブリ) and other large pelagics.
- High-current areas where heavy jigs are needed to reach bottom.
- Anglers who prefer a slow, sideways falling action over standard vertical jigs.
