Quick take
A 40 gram metal vertical jig with wide profile that flutters on the drop and skips like baitfish on the retrieve.
The Mustad Zippy Jig is a bottom-weighted vertical jig in Blue Sardine, about 1.4 ounces, built for long casts from shore or a boat. Its wide body flutters on the fall and skips across the surface on a fast retrieve, which suits schooling tuna and jacks as well as lift-and-drop work over reef bottoms for snapper and grouper. It is a fit for anglers who target offshore pelagics or reef species.
