PROBEROS LF164 Kabura Slider Jigs 20g-120g Vertical Sinking for Kingfish

Kabura Slider Jig in 20g to 120g

The PROBEROS LF164 Kabura Slider Jig is built for a slow lift and drop, or a dead-stick hover in saltwater and comes ready to take a hand-tied assist hook set. It is available in 6 weights from 20g to 120g, so one lure family covers mid-depth reefs through to deep structure without changing lures. The body is high-density lead head finished with a high-contrast finish, in 5 colour options chosen to match local bait, light and water clarity. It is aimed squarely at Kingfish, Snapper, Grouper, Cod.

Size & Weight Specifications

Design, Finish & Build

• Body and core: high-density lead head in 6 weights from 20g-120g, built to sink true and stay stable through the fall.
• Finish: a high-contrast multi-layer paint job, across 5 colour options (A, B, C, D, E) to match bait, light and water clarity.
• Hardware: sharp double assist hooks + silicone skirt as standard.

Usage Scenarios & How To Fish It

• Bottom bouncing over sand, gravel and reef edges
• Drift fishing for reef species with the jig nudging the seabed
• Deep structure fishing where a horizontal presentation matters
• Boat and rock ledge fishing over broken ground
• Technique: work the jig with a slow lift and drop, or a dead-stick hover. Let it fall with a slow, upright descent to the seabed on a slack line, then take up the slack before the next lift.
• Tackle: PE 3.0-4.0 braid and a 60-80 lb fluorocarbon leader, with a rod rated for the weight you are fishing.

Target Species

Sized from 20g to 120g, this kabura slider jig is aimed at mid-weight reef and pelagic species: Snapper, Grouper, Sea Bass, Cod, Kingfish, Tilefish. Fish the lighter end of the range over pressured inshore ground and the heavier end when you are dropping into current over deep structure.

Tournament-Grade Rigging

Set it up with a PROBEROS hand-tied assist hook sized to your jig weight. PROBEROS hand-tied assist hook sets are available in every size this series uses, so you can match the hardware to the jig.

Every PROBEROS assist hook set is tied by hand, never crimped together by a machine. A high-strength PE braided main line is knotted down onto the hook shank, then wrapped with fine binding thread in 80-100 tight turns, locked with adhesive, and flash fibers are laid in during the wrapping so the leader reflects light and keeps moving in the water. Every finished set is built to hold 150 lb or more: even if the hook is straightened or snapped under load, the tied leader will not slip off the shank. That is the difference between landing the fish of the trip and losing it at the boat. Match the hook size to the jig weight and to the fish you are chasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which weight should I choose?

Match the weight to depth and current rather than to the size of the fish. This listing covers 20g through 120g: fish the light end in 10-30 m and over pressured fish, and the heavy end when you are dropping into 100 m plus with current running.

Is the assist hook included?

This listing is the jig itself. We rig our jigs with hand-tied PROBEROS assist hooks, which are available separately in every size this series uses.

How do I work this jig?

Let the jig reach the bottom or the target depth, then use a slow lift and drop, or a dead-stick hover. On slow pitch gear one long lift followed by a controlled fall does most of the work, so keep the line just tight enough to feel a take on the drop.

Will it hold up in saltwater?

Rinse the jig in fresh water after every session, dry it fully and store it out of direct sun. Check the split ring and the hook point each trip, and swap the assist hook once the point rolls over or the leader starts to fray.

Care & Storage

Rinse with fresh water and dry after every saltwater session, check the split ring and the hook after heavy structure contact, and store the jig in a box rather than loose in a bag so the finish stays sharp.
