About this piece
The Smith CB. Muramasa 3S TS (Tonjigi Special) is a heavy jig designed specifically for targeting albacore (tonbo/binnaga) with jigging techniques. It inherits the 3S concept (Spiral, Slide, Long Stay) while minimizing drag resistance for reduced angler fatigue.
Key features
- Eliminates dome eye and gill carving to reduce water resistance
- Round line eye instead of oval to minimize input loss
- Center-balanced, asymmetrical, one-side flat body for spiral-slide action
- Hookless stock configuration (angler adds own hooks)
- Designed to maintain horizontal posture during long pauses, minimizing vertical movement
Best for
- Deep jigging for albacore (tonbo/binnaga)
- Slow-pitch and electric jigging applications
- Low-activity conditions where extended pause and horizontal presentation are needed
