About this piece
The Smith CB. Muramasa 3S·TS is a long metal jig designed for tuna jigging, specifically targeting albacore (bincho maguro). It inherits the 3S concept (Spiral Slide Long Stay) from the CB. Muramasa while reducing angler fatigue by eliminating resistance-enhancing features like bulging eyes and facial carvings.
