Long jigs with a new structure and materials
The PPJ (Power Pitch Jerk) Nitro Long is a jig developed for catches of sunfish and bluefish. It is characterized by its slim and thin shape. The shape is asymmetrical and the slide width is large, designed to reduce pulling weight.
The most distinctive feature of this jig is the use of a force core system. The lead used in this jig has a suppressed antimony component, which increases hardness, in order to maintain the high specific gravity of lead (also eliminating the “hard jig = easy to crack” point). The jig is therefore a little soft, but this is solved by the use of a force core system. This system consists of a pipe inside which a wire is threaded. This system reduces the possibility of the jig bending due to the fish going wild in the boat.
The 80 and 100 (g) sizes come in six sizes (80, 100, 120, 150, 180, and 220 (g)). 80 and 100 (g) have a slightly slower fall, making them ideal for fishing in very shallow water. The 80 and 100 (g) sizes have a slightly slower fall, making them ideal for fishing in very shallow water.

The remarkable jig that caught a 57kg monster kampachi
The Slow Emotion Chuff became famous when ZESTA staff caught a 57kg monster Kampachi, but it is essentially a versatile jig that can be used to target a wide range of fish, from bluefish to bottomfish. The body is designed to have sharp action by standing up the left and right edges, and it is characterized by its responsive response.
New colors are now available for this popular jig. Eight new colors will be added to the lineup. The most notable among them is the purple color. The purple color has a strong image as a jig for hairtail, but in fact, it is a secret color used to target flounder in the Tohoku region.

Flap QR now available in 350, 400, 450, 500, and 600 (g)
In response to the demand for 350g or more for deep sea, expedition fishing for scampi and root fish, Slow Emotion Flap QR is now available in 350, 400, 450, 500, and 600g (existing models are 120-300g). The silhouette is designed to be slimmer. The new model has a slimmer silhouette, which makes the lure feel lighter and move more smoothly even in deep water. Plus, it has a baited silhouette. The large silhouette was designed with large-sized fish in mind.
And its movement is characterized by slow action. It immediately turns sideways and falls straight down while fluttering. It can be made to fall straight even in cutting tides and complicated currents. This is due to the effect of the keel and the sharply shaved nose shape.
The colors of the lure are also carefully selected, with colorings such as sea bream and oakumuro available. In addition, strong pearl white and orange for deeper southern fields. The lineup also includes red, which is strong during squid-type patterns.

A new type of SLJ jig for a wide range of actions
Among the many SLJ series of Zesta jigs, the Scramble Turbo SLJ was introduced as a jig designed to closely resemble the shape of a baitfish. The silhouette is asymmetrical.
The silhouette is asymmetrical. The center of gravity is rear-balanced, allowing for a quick fall. For this reason, it has become popular, especially in the Kansai region, where fishing is done from one side of the boat on doteras, which are common in the Kansai region.
It also wobbles well with a swimming action, and appeals with a fluttering fall the moment the action is stopped. The body shape has a depression to make it flashing, and the cutting is also carefully designed. In addition, it is released with Zesta’s special hooks. The front has a vinyl aurora skin and tinsel. One rear hook with tinsel is included. Ready to use.
