PROBEROS LF157 3D Eye Tairaba Rubber Jigs 60g-200g for Grouper Kingfish

PROBEROS LF157 3D Eye Tairaba Rubber Jigs 60g-200g

One jig family, 6 weights (60g-200g) and 5 finishes. A short, compact body that drops fast and kicks tight on the lift, which is why it holds up in deep ground from 50 m to 120 m where fish are feeding.

Luminous pigment that charges in daylight and releases light through the fall in deep or low-light water, so the jig keeps working in the conditions where the fish are actually feeding. Every number in the table below is measured from the production jig, not rounded up for the listing.

Technical Specifications

Model: LF157  |  Material: High-Density Lead Head + Silicone Skirt + Carbon Steel Double Hooks  |  Water: Saltwater / Offshore  |  Colors: 5

Weights, lengths and hook sizes are the factory figures for this model. Smaller weights sit shorter, larger weights sit longer - pick the weight for depth and current, not for looks.

Finishes & Color Options

Available in 5 colors (A, B, C, D, E). The range is built for the way light changes with depth:

• Luminous pigment that charges in daylight and releases light through the fall in deep or low-light water.
• 3D eyes that give the fish a fixed reference point to commit to.
• A wing that adds lift and slows the fall so the jig stays in the strike zone longer.
• A silicone skirt that pulses and breathes in the current like a small squid.

Fishing Scenarios & Technique

Working range: deep ground from 50 m to 120 m. The head slides freely on the leader, so use a loop knot rather than a bulky uni knot and let the skirt breathe in the current.

How to work it: Bomb it to the seabed, then wind up slowly and smoothly (about one handle turn every three seconds) and keep winding through the first taps. Do not strike - the sliding head lets the fish hook itself.

Tackle: PE 3-4 braid, 60-100 lb leader, a heavy slow pitch or speed jigging rod. Match the weight to the drift: if the line streams away at a sharp angle, step up one weight class before you change anything else.

Typical sessions: offshore crews dropping on deep reefs, wrecks and current lines - drift fishing over structure, slow vertical work under the boat, or casting where the bottom shallows out.

Regional Playbook

USA & Canada

Worked over reefs, wrecks and bait balls - deep ground from 50 m to 120 m. Local crews fish this weight class in the amberjack and kingfish zone, so match the jig to the current rather than to the depth number alone.

Australia & New Zealand

Drifting gravel, sand and reef edges in deep ground from 50 m to 120 m is the standard play here. Keep the line near vertical, stay in contact with the bottom and re-drop the moment the drift runs out - grouper, yellowtail kingfish, samson fish are caught on the lift as often as on the fall.

Japan

Offshore and bay jigging - deep ground from 50 m to 120 m. Japanese crews name the targets Hata / Ako, Buri / Inada / Warasa, Hiramasa / Kanpachi, and the same jig covers both the mid-water fish and the bottom fish that sit under them.

Korea

Boat jigging on the drift - deep ground from 50 m to 120 m. Korean anglers work the same water for Bari, Bangeo, Bushiri, with a slow steady retrieve and the rod tip low to keep the jig in the strike zone.

Rigging & Hardware

What you get: shown rigged with the hand-tied feather assist hook; check the option you order.

Every PROBEROS assist hook set is hand-tied: high-strength PE braiding knotted onto the hook shank, then 80-100 tight wraps of fine thread, then locked with glue. Flash fibres are bound in with the wraps so the hook set glints and moves in the water. Each set is rated above 150 lb - if a hook straightens or snaps, the tie itself will not let go of the shank.

Check the tie and the hook point after every fish, and replace the set if the wraps have been cut. A spare set in the boat is cheaper than the fish you lose.

FAQ

What weights does the LF157 come in?
60 g, 80 g, 100 g, 120 g, 150 g, 200 g (2.12-7.05 oz). Lengths run 2.3 cm to 3.4 cm, so you can step from mid-depth ground into deep water without changing the jig family.

Does it come rigged?
Shown rigged with the hand-tied feather assist hook; check the option you order. Every PROBEROS hand-tied hook set is knotted and glued, never crimped.

How should I work it?
Deep ground from 50 m to 120 m. Use bomb it to the seabed, then wind up slowly and smoothly (about one handle turn every three seconds) and keep winding through the first taps. Do not strike - the sliding head lets the fish hook itself.

What will it catch?
Grouper, Kingfish, Amberjack, Sea Bass, Snapper. The hook sizes are matched to the weight, so grouper and kingfish are both realistic targets.

What tackle do I need?
PE 3-4 braid, 60-100 lb leader, a heavy slow pitch or speed jigging rod. Deep ground from 50 m to 120 m is the working range for this weight.

Care

Rinse the jig and the hook set in fresh water after every trip, dry them before storage, and touch up hook points with a file. Salt left on a tied assist hook is what kills the wraps first.
