Size & Weight Specifications

Design, Finish & Build

• Body and core: lead jig head in 7 weights from 40g-200g, built to sink true and stay stable through the fall.
• Finish: a high-contrast multi-layer paint job, across 6 colour options (A, B, C, D, E, F) to match bait, light and water clarity.
• Detail: 3D moulded eyes and etched scale relief that read as a wounded baitfish in low light.
• Attractor: a soft squid-style skirt that pulses, flares and holds water on the drop so the lure stays in the strike zone longer.

Usage Scenarios & How To Fish It

• Drift fishing with the head hopping along the seabed
• Deep structure fishing for snapper and grouper
• A slow presentation for heavily pressured fish
• Bottom work over reef, rubble and gravel
• Technique: work the jig with a slow lift and drop on the bottom. Let it fall with a head-first drop with the skirt flaring open on a slack line, then take up the slack before the next lift.
• Tackle: PE 4.0-6.0 braid and an 80-120 lb fluorocarbon leader, with a rod rated for the weight you are fishing.
• Heavy-water tip: keep the rod loaded and pump rather than crank, and re-tie the leader after every serious fish.

Target Species

Sized from 40g to 200g, this skirted jig head is aimed at big pelagics and deep-water bottom fish: Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, Tuna, Bass, Amberjack. Fish the lighter end of the range over pressured inshore ground and the heavier end when you are dropping into current over deep structure.

Hand-Tied Assist Hook Rigging

The jigs are rigged as pictured with a hand-tied feather assist hook, ready for the drop.

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 40g through 200g: 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?

The jigs are rigged as pictured with hand-tied feather assist hooks. If you would rather run your own hook, message us and we will sort out a bare-body option for you.

How do I work this jig?

Let the jig reach the bottom or the target depth, then use a slow lift and drop on the bottom. 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.
