Saltwater Jigs and Irons

Compact Finesse for Selective Pelagics

The JRI Custom Lures JRI-1 Surface Iron Jigs deliver hand-crafted quality in a compact, lighter profile for finesse surface presentations. Built with meticulous attention to detail and premium components, these custom surface irons provide the perfect combination of size and action for matching smaller baitfish and triggering strikes from selective pelagics. The JRI-1 represents JRI Custom Lures' commitment to creating specialized tools for finesse fishing situations.

Premium Design and Construction

• Hand-Crafted Quality: Each jig is individually made with attention to detail that ensures consistent performance
• Compact JRI-1 Profile: Smaller size matches smaller baitfish for finesse presentations
• Light Surface Weight: Ideal for calm conditions and situations requiring subtle presentations
• Premium Components: Quality hooks and hardware sized appropriately for the compact profile
• Durable Finish: High-quality plating provides maximum flash and withstands saltwater punishment
• Optimized Action: Balanced for effective surface retrieve and finesse techniques

Classic Surface Iron Technique

The JRI-1 excels with the time-tested surface iron retrieve. Cast the iron to feeding fish or working birds, let it sink briefly, then retrieve with a rhythmic rod-pumping action that creates an erratic swimming motion. The lighter weight and smaller profile create a more subtle presentation that's ideal when fish are feeding on smaller baitfish like anchovies or when they're being selective. The compact size also makes it easier to cast on lighter tackle and work with finesse techniques.

Built for Finesse Situations

Whether you're targeting yellowtail feeding on small anchovies, working for bonito and skipjack in calm conditions, pursuing calico bass with lighter tackle, casting to picky tuna that won't hit larger irons, fishing for barracuda in clear water, or any situation where a smaller profile triggers more strikes, the JRI-1 delivers consistent results. The compact size is especially effective in calm water when fish can see larger jigs more clearly and become selective about what they'll strike.

JRI Custom Lures Quality

JRI Custom Lures has built a reputation for hand-crafted quality and fish-catching performance among serious West Coast anglers. The JRI-1 Surface Iron continues this tradition, combining compact finesse design with meticulous craftsmanship that produces results when conditions and fish behavior demand a more subtle approach.

P-Line Laser Minnow has a very distinctive fall which triggers a bite from a wide variety of fish.  Simply drop it down and either wind it back at a fast pace, or pop the rod tip up and down. 

It can also be cast and retrieved like a spoon or surface iron.  Simple wind it back at a steady retrieve, too fast and it will wash out.  Too slow and it will have a lazy wander to it.

The finish is holographic and has a realistic eye to fool hungry fish into biting.  Putting a snap on the tie point will give it better action allowing it to more freely move through the water.  You can take off the stock hook and rig it with a single hook or assist hooks from the top or bottom ring.  Tying to the side with the eye and putting the assist hooks on the same side will help prevent snags when fishing the bottom.

Comes one per pack.

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.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Blue Pink (TGB-180BP) — US market color. Blue/pink contrast pattern effective for tuna and yellowtail in a wide range of light and water conditions.
• Gold Green Zebra (TGB-180GGG) — US market color. Gold/green zebra pattern with high flash; effective in deeper water and low-light conditions.
• Silver Zebra Glow (TGB-180GBP-2) — Silver zebra pattern with glow finish; effective at depth and in low-visibility conditions where glow triggers strikes.

Best For

• Tuna Jigging — Compact tungsten profile and fast sink rate get the jig into the zone quickly on fast-moving tuna schools.
• Yellowtail & Amberjack — 180g weight and small profile effective for vertical jigging on yellowtail and amberjack holding on structure.
• Deep Water & Strong Current — Tungsten's density cuts through current and reaches depth faster than lead jigs of the same weight.
• Pressured Fish — Compact baitfish silhouette triggers bites from fish that have seen conventional lead jig profiles.

The Daiwa Rock Rover is an Inchiku-style jig built around a sleek bullet body design that gets the jig down quickly to the targeted strike zone — critical for bottom-oriented species holding in deep water or strong current. The multiple anchor points provide a selection of rigging options for both slow consistent retrieve and short jerk presentations, while the lifelike octopus skirt and imitation abalone shell eyes deliver a realistic, enticing profile that triggers strikes from rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species. Available in 6 weights from 80g to 200g across 4 colors. 

Key Features

• Inchiku-Style Design — Inchiku jig profile combines a weighted bullet body with an octopus skirt trailer; the body sinks fast to reach the target depth while the skirt pulses and flutters on the drop and retrieve to trigger strikes from bottom-oriented species.
• Bullet Body — Fast Sink Rate — Sleek, aerodynamic bullet body design minimizes water resistance for a fast, direct sink rate; gets the jig to the target depth quickly in deep water and strong current conditions where time-on-bottom is critical.
• Multiple Anchor Points — Multiple hook attachment points on the body provide rigging versatility; configure for slow consistent retrieve (hook at rear anchor point) or short jerk presentations (hook at forward anchor point) to match the target species and technique.
• Lifelike Octopus Skirt — Soft, flowing octopus skirt pulses and breathes with every movement of the jig; mimics the natural movement of squid and octopus — primary forage for rockfish, lingcod, and deep-water bottom species.
• Imitation Abalone Shell Eyes — Realistic abalone shell eye inserts provide flash and a lifelike appearance; adds visual trigger for species that key on realistic prey profiles at depth.
• 2/0 Hook — All Sizes — 2/0 hook across all 6 weight tiers (80–200g); sized for rockfish, lingcod, and bottom species in the target depth range for each weight.
• Slow Presentation Optimized — Inchiku design works best on a slower presentation — slow consistent retrieve or short jerk cadence; the octopus skirt produces maximum action at slower speeds where fast jigs lose their effectiveness.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Glow — Glow finish provides visibility in low-light conditions and deep water where ambient light is reduced; effective for night fishing and deep jigging applications where glow is a primary trigger for bottom species.
• Gold — High-flash gold finish; effective in clear water conditions where flash and reflection are primary triggers; natural baitfish imitation in gold tones for rockfish and lingcod.
• Red — High-contrast red finish; effective attractor color for rockfish and bottom species; red tones lose color at depth but the contrast profile remains visible to fish holding near structure.
• Sardine — Natural sardine imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for species that key on sardine-shaped forage; good all-around color for mixed bottom species in clear water.

Weight Selection Guide

• 80g–100g — Lighter weights for shallower water (60–150 ft) and moderate current; slower sink rate produces more octopus skirt action on the drop; best for rockfish in mid-depth applications.
• 120g–150g — Mid-range weights for moderate to deep water (100–250 ft) and stronger current; balance of sink rate and skirt action for rockfish and lingcod in deeper structure.
• 170g–200g — Heaviest weights for deep water (200+ ft) and strong current; maximum sink rate for getting the jig to the target depth quickly in offshore and deep-water bottom fishing applications.

Best For

• Rockfish — Inchiku design and octopus skirt are among the most effective presentations for rockfish holding on deep structure; slow consistent retrieve keeps the skirt pulsing in the strike zone longer than fast jigs.
• Lingcod — Larger profile and octopus skirt trigger the aggressive strike response of lingcod; heavier weights (150–200g) for lingcod holding in deep structure and strong current.
• Deep Water Bottom Fishing — Bullet body and heavier weights (120–200g) for deep water bottom fishing applications where fast sink rate and time-on-bottom are critical; multiple anchor points allow rigging adjustment for different bottom presentations.
