Bantam Jijil 70F (ZT-207Q)

Conventional I-shaped lures were designed to resemble a dying baitfish, and most of them would drift straight along the surface of the water without any action after landing.

The unique joint design of the Gijil means that rather than simply retrieving in a straight line with no action, its silhouette changes spontaneously in response to the slightest wave or small change in the retrieve, meaning it can elicit a bite even in situations where fish would normally give up on regular I-shaped plugs.

Also, by mixing stops into the I-action you can intentionally bend the joint to trigger a bite, or by twitching it and making it start swimming again, it will look like a dying bait.

The Gizilk 85 Jet Boost and Gizilk 70 are available in floating and sinking models.

The floating model is best suited for creating the appearance of a dying baitfish, such as early spring smelt, and is effective when used with a motion that is either still or moving downwind, or when allowed to drift near the surface in a dying state rather than continuing to swim.

On the other hand, sinking models are best suited for creating the image of a "defenseless baitfish" that swims at a constant speed from the moment it hits the water until it reaches your feet. They are effective when other lures are not getting a reaction, or when the fish are not yet at the surface but are very aware of the baitfish.

In addition, the sinking model has red eyes, so you can tell the difference between floating and sinking at a glance even when inside the box.

I-shaped plugs are lures that are easy to see and induce bites in black bass, and the difference in fish reactions due to rotation depending on the size is more noticeable than with other lures.

Spring smelt and young ayu are closer to the 70mm size, while smelt and minnows from summer onwards are closer to the 85mm size.

This is a lure whose reaction to the fish changes greatly depending on the field and the size of the baitfish it is currently feeding on, so frequently rotating it will lead to increased catches.

The Gizilk 85 Jet Boost is also equipped with the Jet Boost center of gravity shifting system, so if distance is your top priority in shore fishing, we recommend choosing the Gizilk 85 Jet Boost.

Recommended tackle

This is a type of fishing where longer casts often lead to increased catches, so a long rod is an advantage.

The standard is L power in the 6+ foot to 7 foot class.

For the line, you can either prioritize distance by combining a 0.6 or smaller PE line with a 4 to 6 lb leader, or you can forego the PE line and use a 4 to 6 lb fluorocarbon line as is.

Waglock Joint

An I-shaped action that swims as straight as possible, drawing the fish in. A wagging action that swings its head to lure the fish, controlled by line slack. A deceptive bend action that occurs spontaneously when the lure stops. The key is the twitch action that makes the fish bite. All of these are made possible by the Wag Lock Joint.

Tungsten center of gravity shift

In order to ensure that even slim jointed minnows can be thrown effectively, the rear body is equipped with a tungsten ball that moves the center of gravity.

Fiber Tail

The material, volume and attachment angle of the tail are all key to the lure's overall movement and how it attracts fish.

Insect Tuning

What's the empty space on the back? If you put the rubber legs through the holes you can tune it to be like an insect.

Holoberry specs

Of the 12 colors, five have holographic belly sections. The Jijil is a lure that is often displayed on the surface to entice fish to bite. For this reason, we paid special attention to the silhouette and color that can be seen from below. One of these is the "holographic belly design." By using a hologram, which is prone to diffuse reflection, we aim to prevent the lure from looking monotonous and make it difficult for fish to see through. Also, by allowing the color on the back to be transparent, each color comes to life and looks different.
