Head Jig Head — Made In Japan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SV-34 S.G. Head is Decoy's general-purpose saltwater jig head, and its concept is narrower than \"general purpose\" suggests: pressured seabass. On water that sees minnows and tail-spin jigs every night, fish learn the hard-lure silhouette and stop committing to it. A soft stick bait on an S.G. Head gives them a slower, softer target, and the head is balanced to carry that plastic through a steady retrieve, a shake retrieve or a lift-and-fall without the bait rolling over. The versatility follows from there — the same rig accounts for cutlassfish (tachiuo), flatfish such as hirame and magochi, and pelagics passing through. An assist eye under the head takes a treble or support hook for short-biting fish. Factory range #1 to #4\/0, 3.5–21 g; this store carries six combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaltwater jig head designed around pressured seabass and soft stick baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced for steady retrieve, shake retrieve and lift-and-fall from one head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssist eye on the underside for a support treble or assist hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel plating for saltwater service (Katsuichi designate the finish W Nickel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory range #1 to #4\/0, 3.5 g to 21 g; pack quantity falls as hook size rises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSV-34 Versus SV-34H\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSV-34 (this head)\u003c\/strong\u003e — #1 to #4\/0, 3.5 g to 21 g.
