Zappu P.D. Chopper Jig

Designed for a Natural “Standing Posture” to Trigger Bites Even on a Tension-Free Fall

A jig that has proven to be one of Lake Biwa’s top producers since it’s debut in 2008.  Professional angler, Hata pro, developed this jig with versatality in mind.  Made from tungsten, it can be used both as a dragging jig that stands on it’s flat face or be used as a swimming jig.  

Designed to stand firmly on the bottom, this jig moves automatically with water currents even without rod manipulation. Its natural undulating motion attracts bass effortlessly, leading them to bite naturally. Because it moves without putting tension on the line, it eliminates any unnatural presence that might alert fish.

During 2007 field testing, Pro Hata himself landed six bass over about 24" (60cm), proving the jig’s outstanding performance. It was soon released in 2008 and has caught Hata over 100 24" bass since that time.  A 24" bass is considered a trophy bass in Japan and typically weighs from 8-10lbs.
