Quick take
A fast-sinking gliding crankbait with high-frequency vibrations from the Reverberation Chamber System, sized for pike and catfish.
The Berkley Zilla in Ayu Green is a 10 cm lipless crankbait built with pike and catfish in mind. Its side-to-side action and internal vibration chamber give it a lot of presence in the water, and it carries Fusion 19 treble hooks. It suits anglers who want a casting bait for bigger predators that can be worked through a few feet of water.

About this type

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
