Daiwa Saltiga TG Bait 180g

The Daiwa Saltiga TG Bait 180g is a high-density tungsten metal jig engineered for hard-pulling offshore species — tuna, yellowtail, amberjack, grouper, and more. Tungsten's superior density relative to lead produces a dramatically smaller profile at the same weight, allowing the TG Bait to sink faster and reach the strike zone quicker than conventional lead jigs of equivalent weight. That smaller profile also means less water resistance on the drop and a more compact, realistic baitfish silhouette that triggers bites from pressured fish.

Made in Japan and available in three colors — including two colorways developed specifically for the US market. Sold without hooks — pair with your preferred assist hooks to customize the rig to your target species and jigging style. 

Key Features

• High-Density Tungsten Construction — Tungsten's superior density produces a much smaller profile than lead at the same weight; faster sink rate, less water resistance, and a more compact baitfish silhouette.
• Faster Sink Rate — Reaches the strike zone faster than conventional lead jigs; critical for targeting fish holding deep or in strong current.
• Compact Profile — Smaller cross-section triggers bites from pressured fish that have seen conventional jig profiles; effective on tuna, yellowtail, and amberjack.
• Made in Japan — Saltiga-level quality and finish from Daiwa's premium Japanese manufacturing.
• US Market Color Options — Two of the three available colors were developed specifically for the US market.
• Sold Without Hooks — Customize with your preferred assist hooks for your target species and jigging technique.
