A friend of a friend was using these a few weeks ago and reported they were deadly on Snapper.
Kindof a hybrid sp/jig/trolling lure

Looks pretty trick, but the question is...do we really need any more options than what are already on the market?
Of course we do!
Mozz let us know when WE get some for OUR collection

These are the original type of Japanese snapper jigs. There are newer versions out too but expensive. How does $25-30 per jig sound to you?
Yeah I thought so too. ------------- give it death! |

Sounds like the same price or less than what we pay for zest jigs chris!just as a matter of interest Is there any reason zest jigs are twice as expensive as some of the others? |

I think you might be comparing Zest pricing to one other brand that is gaining some support. Other cheap brand is sold direct by the importers. Apart from lower prices, what have these cheap brands contributed to jigging? What drew you to long jigs in the first place - was it the cheap brand or was it Zest? Which brand has invested heavily to bring this sport to you with jig education, clinics, sponsoring this forum. Zest is sold through retailers, there is a middle-man margin built into Zest prices. This is the same for all Shimano, Penn, Daiwa and other quality products that are sold via a retail network and is the way of the tackle business. You might ask the same of Corolla vs Mercedes, Transonic vs Sony, Bond vs Shimano. The choice is yours to make. Quality & performance costs. ------------- give it death! |

Simple fact is zest is best.
Myself i am a tackle slut and will try them all, but the finish and quality of the zest is better than any of the others. Try and do a bend test on some of the cheaper jigs, also take note of how long the paintwork lasts and then some of the cheaper ones simply break in half.
When the fishing is hot they will eat them all, on tough days which jig do you all go for, usually a zest.
I am not just saying this because Chris is a mate of mine it is because he has a great product.
