Where the SV-61 covers #1 to #2\/0 and 5–9 g, the SV-62 starts at #3\/0 and runs to #5\/0, with head weights from 1\/4 oz to 1 oz in the full factory range. Katsuichi specify a stronger hook for large-bodied bottom fish and flatfish, and the head is intended for both shore and offshore work — seabass and mahi-mahi in open water, ainame and bekko-zoi on rock, magochi (bartail flathead) and hirame over sand. Finish is W Nickel. This store carries six of the factory combinations, from #3\/0 at 7 g to #5\/0 at 21 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between a saltwater head and a freshwater one shows up most clearly here. The plating is chosen to survive salt rather than to look bright, the hook is materially heavier in the wire than a bass head of the same gape so it holds shape when a fish is turned away from structure on locked drag, and the shank lock keeps a large soft plastic seated after repeated long casts into current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty saltwater jig head using a stronger hook than the standard SV-61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook sizes #3\/0 to #5\/0 for large soft baits and large-mouthed predators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead weights from 1\/4 oz to 1 oz across the factory range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated by the maker for shore and offshore use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW Nickel finish for saltwater service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour heads per pack on most sizes, three on the 21 g heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame hook size available in several weights, so profile and sink rate can be set independently\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSV-61 or SV-62\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take the SV-61 for shallow, sheltered water and 3–5 inch plastics on light tackle.
