jerkbait

Designed for precision twitching, the Shimano Bantam Zumverno 95SP MD JETB is a premium suspending jerkbait that combines outstanding casting performance, a highly responsive action and lifelike detailing to target even the most cautious predatory fish.

Shimano’s JET BOOST system optimises weight transfer during the cast, enhancing both distance and accuracy, even in challenging headwind conditions. On the retrieve, the lure delivers a sharp, erratic action with pronounced lateral darting, convincingly imitating a distressed baitfish and triggering instinctive strikes.

Its suspending design allows the lure to remain at the working depth during pauses, extending its time in the strike zone and creating additional opportunities when predators are inactive or wary. SCALE BOOST technology enhances visual realism with a detailed holographic finish that faithfully replicates baitfish scales, increasing the lure’s visual appeal.

Equally effective with aggressive rod twitches or slower, more measured retrieves, the Bantam Zumverno 95SP MD JETB is a versatile choice for targeting perch, zander, pike and black bass, with applications in saltwater as well. Available in 6 colours, it is engineered for anglers who demand precise lure control, accurate presentation and a highly enticing action.
