Zerek Chilli Padi - Tungsten Jig
Tested and proven across Singapore and Malaysian waters, the Zerek Chilli Padi is made of tungsten and is one of the most cost-effective tungsten jigs available.
Developed by Zerek Innovation specifically for the Southeast Asian market, the Zerek Chilli Padi's namesake is the small yet extremely spicy pepper very commonly used in Southeast Asian cooking. Just as potent as its namesake, the Zerek Chilli Padi is extremely attractive to a wide variety of both pelagic and bottom fishes, drawn to its small profile and erratic falling pattern.
With a density that is 1.7 times greater than regular lead jigs, tungsten jigs fall faster as they sink, getting in to the strike zone much quicker and more accurately than lead jigs of the same weight.
EPIC Fishing Crew Tips:
Ryan Ngler - I prefer to use this jig on the boat because the front eyelet has a tendency to break off if I'm casting from shore and hit the breakers. It's great for targeting coral trouts, groupers, snappers and trevallies with its small profile. You can get a good casting distance and I'll do a fast jigging action up to the surface to entice the pelagics, or I'll bottom hop for bottom dwelling predators.
