About this piece
The Smith CB. Muramasa 3S·TS (Tongiji Special) is a long jig engineered for targeting longtail tuna (tombo/binnaga maguro) with reduced water resistance. It inherits the 3S concept (Spiral, Slide, Long Stay) from the standard CB. Muramasa 3S, ensuring a spiraling, sideways slide and a prolonged horizontal posture during the fall.
Key features
- Specially designed to minimize drag, reducing angler fatigue and reel load.
- Flat dome eye replaced with a sticker eye; gill engravings removed to further cut water resistance.
- Round line eye instead of oval to reduce input loss during input.
- Center-balanced, asymmetrical single-side full-flat body enables a crisp spiral and lateral slide.
- Maintains horizontal posture for a long stay, allowing precise layer tracing with minimal vertical movement.
Best for
- Jigging for longtail tuna (tombō) in offshore waters.
- Electric jigging applications where reduced reel load is beneficial.
- Slow or low-activity scenarios requiring extended, gentle presentations in the strike zone.
