PROBEROS LF148 Light Jigging Lures 10g-40g 3D Eyes for Mackerel Sea Bass

Micro Jigging Lure 10g to 40g for inshore and light-tackle hunters

The PROBEROS LF148 Micro Jigging Lure is built for light lift-drop jigging and casting in saltwater and comes ready to take a hand-tied assist hook set. It is available in 5 weights from 10g to 40g, so one lure family covers shallow reef edges and inshore washes without changing lures. The body is high-density lead alloy core finished with a high-contrast finish and 3D eyes, in 5 colour options chosen to match local bait, light and water clarity. It is aimed squarely at Mackerel, Sea Bass, Trout.

Size & Weight Specifications

Design, Finish & Build

• Body and core: high-density lead alloy core in 5 weights from 10g-40g, 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.
• Detail: 3D moulded eyes and etched scale relief that read as a wounded baitfish in low light.

Usage Scenarios & How To Fish It

• Boat casting to inshore structure
• Estuary, bay and harbour fishing
• Light tackle inshore jigging
• Shore casting from breakwalls and rock ledges
• Technique: work the jig with light lift-drop jigging and casting. Let it fall with a quick, darting flutter on a slack line, then take up the slack before the next lift.
• Tackle: light spin gear, PE 1.0-1.5 braid and a 16-25 lb fluorocarbon leader, with a rod rated for the weight you are fishing.
• Light-tackle tip: in shallow water a short, sharp lift followed by a stop beats a fast constant retrieve every time.

Target Species

Sized from 10g to 40g, this micro jigging lure is aimed at inshore and light-tackle species: Sea Bass, Mackerel, Trout. 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 10g through 40g: 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 light lift-drop jigging and casting. 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.
