About this piece
The Smith CB. Muramasa 3S・TS (Tonjigi Special) is a 350g long jig engineered for albacore (tonbo) jigging, with a design focused on reducing drag resistance for the angler. It inherits the 3S concept (Spiral Slide Long Stay) from the standard CB. Muramasa 3S, delivering a tight spiral and horizontal slide on the initial motion after the jerk.
Key features

- Round line eye minimizes input loss during transmission to the jig
- Asymmetric center-balanced body with one full-flat side promotes controlled spiral action
