Quick take
A heavy Japanese slow-jig that falls with flutter and spin, designed for deep-water saltwater jigging and bottom fishing.
The Daiwa Saltiga SK Jig in Sardine weighs 6 oz and carries a 7/0 hook, with a Japanese slow-jigging design built for anglers working deep saltwater. Its swimming action lets the jig kick and slap through the water column as it is wound up from the bottom. It suits offshore tuna fishing, where a heavier metal jig is needed to reach the depth.
Best for
- Offshore deep-water jigging for tuna and snapper
- Bottom fishing in heavy current and deep structure

Skip if

Strengths

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.
