Components of a Zigzag Lure

Zigzag lures are a unique type of fishing lure which resemble naturally occurring foods such as minnows. As they are pulled through the water, Zigzag lures entice fish to bite. While common lures move with an artificial 'back and forth' movement, Zigzag lures have a dying minnow flutter that entices the prey. Zigzag lures are made with the latest design technologies to mimic lifelike movement and appearance.

  1. Body Design

    • Zigzag lures are famous for their attractive body designs. The body is usually smooth and slim so it looks like a real minnow. This shape and color entices a large number of predatory game fish species. The designs for these lures are made through in-depth research. When the slim body is pulled through the water, it mimics the actions of a minnow .

    Multiple Hooks

    • Zigzag lures have two hooks. These hooks are covered by a skirt-keeper, which is made of plastic or vinyl. The use of front and rear hooks helps decrease the number of missed sets after a fish has taken the lure.

    Nose Line Connection

    • The four important parameters that make a fishing line efficient are its length, weight, material and its contact point with the fishing lure. In Zigzag fishing lures, the point of contact is the nose. The line's attachment at the nose helps the lure achieve its zigzag motion as it's pulled through the water.

    Lifelike Design Appearance

    • The basic aim of any fishing lure is to present the appearance of a food source that is part of a game fish's natural diet . Zigzag lures looks like minnows, a food source for many game fish species. Additionally, these lures include an intentionally bright, prismatic finish that attracts a game fish's attention as it floats across the top of the water. The plastic molded body features detailed scales, gills and realistic eyes. The lure contains small plastic balls inside the body so that rattle to attract additional attention.
