The Shimano Metal Shot Tungsten Jig is a premium, small-profile bait engineered for super-light jigging applications. Its high-density tungsten construction offers a compact body, allowing for exceptional casting distances and a rapid sinking rate, crucial for reaching target depths quickly.

This jig is constructed with a stainless-steel centre plate and tungsten weights on both sides, resulting in a super compact profile that effectively mimics small baitfish, appealing to a wide range of predatory fish such as snapper, trevally, and bonito. It exhibits an attractive fluttering action as it falls through the water column, generating irresistible vibration and flash. Anglers can adjust the descent speed by lightly tensioning the line to control its movement. The recommended retrieve involves an erratic twitch and pause, creating a natural drifting action, though a linear retrieve can also be highly effective for various species.

The Shimano Metal Shot Tungsten Jig is versatile, suitable for both shore casting and offshore jigging applications. It features a bottom attachment point, providing the option to add a second assist hook for enhanced action and a slower descent in shallower waters. For immediate use, each jig comes pre-rigged with a single assist-hook, expertly dressed with mylar flash, an 80lb kevlar assist cord, and robust stainless-steel solid and split rings.
