PROBEROS LF161 100g-300g Zebra Glow Winged Slow Pitch Jigging Jigs for Tuna

PROBEROS LF161 Winged Slow Pitch Jigging Jigs 100g-300g

A short, compact metal jig for slow pitch jigging, sized 100g-300g (3.53-10.58 oz) in 5 finishes. Deep drop and big game crews hunting pelagics in current fish it in deep drop ground from 80 m to 180 m.

Zebra striping that flashes on the roll and reads as a wounded baitfish, 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: LF161+SZ096  |  Material: High-Density Lead, Laser Coating  |  Water: Saltwater, Deep Sea, 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:

• Zebra striping that flashes on the roll and reads as a wounded baitfish.
• UV-reactive paint that stays visible in coloured or turbid water.
• A wing that adds lift and slows the fall so the jig stays in the strike zone longer.

Fishing Scenarios & Technique

Working range: deep drop ground from 80 m to 180 m. Rig the assist hook on the head ring and keep the leader light enough that the jig still flutters on the drop.

How to work it: One or two short rod pitches, then let the jig fall on a semi-slack line and hold the pause. Most bites come on the fall, so keep a finger on the line and strike only when weight loads up.

Tackle: PE 4-5 braid, 80-130 lb leader, a heavy deep drop 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: deep drop and big game crews hunting pelagics in current - 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 drop ground from 80 m to 180 m. Local crews fish this weight class in the tuna and yellowtail 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 drop ground from 80 m to 180 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 - samson fish, yellowtail kingfish, grouper are caught on the lift as often as on the fall.

Japan

Offshore and bay jigging - deep drop ground from 80 m to 180 m. Japanese crews name the targets Maguro (tuna), Hiramasa / Kanpachi, Buri / Inada / Warasa, 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 drop ground from 80 m to 180 m. Korean anglers work the same water for Chamchi (tuna), Bushiri, Bangeo, 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 LF161 come in?
100 g, 150 g, 200 g, 250 g, 300 g (3.53-10.58 oz). Lengths run 11 cm to 16 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 drop ground from 80 m to 180 m. Use one or two short rod pitches, then let the jig fall on a semi-slack line and hold the pause. Most bites come on the fall, so keep a finger on the line and strike only when weight loads up.

What will it catch?
Tuna, Amberjack, Kingfish, Grouper, Snapper and more. The hook sizes are matched to the weight, so tuna and amberjack are both realistic targets.

What tackle do I need?
PE 4-5 braid, 80-130 lb leader, a heavy deep drop rod. Deep drop ground from 80 m to 180 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.
