Quick take
A 6 oz Japanese-designed metal jig with slow jigging action for offshore pelagics and bottom fish.
This zebra glow Daiwa Saltiga SK metal jig weighs 6 oz and is rigged with 7/0 assist hooks for targets such as tuna and snapper. Its glow finish adds a visible flash as it falls. The jig sinks and spins and flutters on the drop, so it works well for anglers jigging near the bottom.
Best for

- Tuna, snapper and similar species in deep water
- Situations requiring a tight line and active rod work
Skip if

- You fish shallow water where small jigs work better
Strengths
- Japanese slow jigging design triggers strikes in deep water
- Unique fall and swimming action entices predatory fish
- Durable construction handles large fish and rough conditions
Trade-offs

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.
