Zappu Bow Head Jig For Vertical And Pitching Applications

Description

The Zappu Bow Head Jig is a unique all-around rubber jig built around Zappu’s proven Bow Head jointed head concept. Instead of a traditional fixed-hook jig, the Bow Head Jig uses a split-ring joint structure that separates the rubber-tied head from the hook, allowing the head and skirt to move aggressively while the trailer maintains a more natural action. Zappu positions it as a wide-coverage jig for bottom contact, cover, and even mid-layer presentations.

One of the standout features of the Bow Head Jig is its football-style head, designed for bottom stability and water displacement during head action. Zappu also highlights the jig’s eye guard and eye position, which help reduce weeds and trash fouling while improving its ability to work through cover and bushes. Because it uses an offset hook, it is especially well suited for fishing around cover where snag resistance matters.

Zappu notes that the Bow Head Jig performs especially well for bottom bumping, shaking, and mid-layer jig-stroking techniques, making it a strong choice for anglers who want a jig that can be pitched, swum, or shaken depending on the situation. The jointed structure helps limit forward travel while still producing a strong bite-inducing action, which can be a major advantage when you want to keep a bait in the strike zone longer.

According to Zappu’s product materials, the Bow Head Jig is offered in 3/16 oz (5 g), 1/4 oz (7 g), and 3/8 oz (10 g) sizes, each built with a 3/0 Ryugi Infini (TC) offset hook, and comes 1 per pack. Zappu also lists core colors including Black, Black/Brown, Black & Jerry Watermelon, Swim Gill, Hazard Tail Gill, and Peanut Butter.

If you want a premium Japanese rubber jig that offers a different action profile from a standard casting jig or football jig, the Zappu Bow Head Jig is a strong option for anglers looking for natural trailer movement, snag resistance, and true versatility from bottom to mid-column presentations.
