The Zipbaits X-Trigger is a highly refined Japanese sinking pencil lure designed specifically for finesse saltwater applications and light tackle fishing. Originally developed in Japan for targeting black bream and other cautious inshore species, the X-Trigger combines exceptional casting performance with an ultra-natural swimming action that excels in shallow estuaries, flats, canals, harbours, and coastal environments.
Zip Baits ZBL X-Trigger
Despite its compact size, the X-Trigger casts extremely well thanks to Zipbaits’ patented MAG-DRIVE weight transfer system combined with strategically positioned brass and tungsten alloy internal weights. This setup creates impressive casting distance, excellent balance, and superior lure stability while maintaining an incredibly subtle and lifelike action.
On retrieve, the X-Trigger produces a tight meandering swim with subtle body roll and vibration that perfectly imitates small baitfish. Its horizontal slow-fall posture creates an enticing “falling vibe” action during pauses, making it highly effective when fishing shallow structure, weed beds, oyster racks, flats, and current lines where finesse presentation is critical.
Ideal for targeting bream, whiting, herring, perch, bass, trout, flathead, and other finesse species, the Zipbaits X-Trigger is a standout option for anglers chasing pressured fish in clear or shallow water conditions.
