Katsuichi describe it as a head designed for situations where lightweight models are insufficient, best matched to 4–6 inch grubs and hog-type soft baits. It was developed around the large soi and ainame of the Tohoku rock coast, and doubles as a general head for seabass and other lure targets. The store carries three of the four factory sizes: #1 at 5 g, #1\/0 at 7 g and #2\/0 at 9 g, W Nickel finish, five per pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA saltwater head is not a freshwater head with a different label. The plating is corrosion-oriented W Nickel rather than a bright bass finish, the hook is heavier in the wire so it will not open under drag from a fish that dives into rock, and the shank keeper is built to lock a soft plastic through repeated casts into current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium-weight saltwater head bridging light game and heavy bottom work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned around 4–6 inch grubs and hog-type soft baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW Nickel finish specified for saltwater service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHook sizes #1, #1\/0 and #2\/0 paired to 5 g, 7 g and 9 g heads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive heads per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank keeper to hold soft plastics in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion to the SV-62 Salt Special Heavy, which takes over from #3\/0 up\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 — Fish the SV-61 in the shallow-to-mid band: drains, jetty lights and rock edges to roughly 5 m in mild current, with 3–5 inch plastics.
