Quick take
Heavy metal jig designed for vertical jigging and deep trolling in offshore saltwater environments.
The Daiwa Saltiga is a 4.6-inch metal jig weighing 6.1 ounces, with a spear point and a silver glow-head finish. Its compact, dense body is suited to vertical jigging for mackerel and other saltwater species. The jig comes set up with a 4/0 hook.
Best for
- Deep water jigging for large offshore species
- Trolling in deep structure with heavy line
Skip if
- You fish shallow water; this jig sinks too fast
- You need casting distance; vertical jigs are heavy and dense
Strengths
- 6.1 oz weight sinks to deep structure quickly
- Metal construction creates flash that attracts pelagic fish
- Glow head option aids visibility in deep, dark water
Trade-offs
- Heavy weight requires strong rod and baitcasting reel
- Vertical jigging requires active vertical rod work, not passive retrieves
- Deep water jigging is physically demanding on the angler

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
