Quick take
Japanese-made semi-long metal jig with assist hooks for vertical jigging offshore.
The Major Craft JIGPARA Semi-Long is a 1.4 oz metal jig in the #01 Sardine color, a bait-profile finish for anglers who want a lure that looks like a baitfish. It is fitted with a double-assisted Japanese anti-rust hook, and when jerked it slides from side to side and holds a level attitude as it falls. Saltwater anglers can use it to imitate a sardine on the drop.

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.
