Hybrid lure made of wood and resin

Offshore plugs can be roughly divided into wood and resin plugs. Each has its own characteristics, and recent offshore anglers are making good use of them. Wood plugs are characterized by the weight and buoyancy of the entire body, which allows the angler to create an action as if the plug is entangled in the water. The resin-made lure has an air chamber for buoyancy, and by placing a weight at the optimum position, a sharp action can be produced.

The Hybrid Diving Pencil released by ZESTAWORKS is a hybrid lure with a wood center and a resin outer layer. This gives it a unique action that is different from that of wood or resin plugs.

The main action is an S-stroke slalom action, in which fine bubbles are generated from a cup at the front and wrap around the body. The visual action, lateral sound and wave action attract tuna and large bluefish.

The Maverick is a diving pencil that grips water firmly and produces fine bubbles with its front cup, which wrap around the body to create an S-stroke slalom action.

The outer layer is resin, so the initial performance lasts

Wood is covered with a resin material. The advantage of this is that the initial performance is sustained. The wood coating can crack over time or when subjected to impacts, and water can seep in through scratches caused by hooks or fish teeth, changing the buoyancy. This is prevented in the case of hybrid lures, which are clothed in a resin material that is stronger than the coating.

This hybrid lure combines the best parts of two materials. The penetrating wire makes it strong and reliable.

Lineup and more NEW plugs

Maverick comes in two sizes, 175mm and 200mm. The 175mm weighs 60 g ± 5 g and the 200mm weighs 95 g ± 5 g. There are a total of five colors available, including realistic and appealing colors, including two shell colors, which are overwhelmingly popular in the saltwater world and are also used in the heads of octopus baits for trolling. Two shell colors are available.

The first hybrid lure was the diving pencil Maverick, and now the floating popper Iceman will be released as the second hybrid lure. This lure follows the Maverick’s highly acclaimed outstanding long casting performance while maintaining a stable flight posture. This lure is scheduled to be released at the end of October, so keep an eye out for it as well.

The lure is available in five colors, from left to right: Japanese anchovy, Japanese anchovy, chartreuse, pink shell, and black shell.

The Iceman is an authentic popper that has high appeal and covers a wide area, satisfying popper fans.
