About this piece
The Smith CB. Muramasa 3S TS (Tongiji Special) is a specialized slow-pitch jig designed for targeting albacore (tonbo/binnaga maguro) with reduced drag and resistance. It inherits the 3S concept (Spiral, Slide, Long Stay) from the standard CB. Muramasa 3S while eliminating features like dome eyes and gill carvings to minimize pull resistance and angler fatigue.
Key features
- 3S concept produces a spiral slide on the fall with horizontal long-stay posture
- Asymmetric center-balanced design with one side fully flat for unidirectional sliding
- Round line eye reduces input loss compared to oval shapes
- Flat sticker eye and smooth face minimize water resistance
- Hookless design (sold separately)
- 400g weight / 242mm length, ideal for deep jigging scenarios
Best for
- Albacore (tonbo) slow-pitch / deep jigging
- Electric jigging where low reel load is beneficial
- Low-activity fish requiring long horizontal stays in the strike zone
