What is the Zipbaits Mag-Drive system?
Mag-Drive is Zipbaits' proprietary magnetic weight transfer system that shifts internal weights rearward during the cast for maximum distance and accuracy, then returns them to the optimal position on retrieve for perfect balance and lifelike action. It's a key reason Zipbaits lures cast so well and swim so naturally.
Which Zipbaits lures are best for bream fishing?
The Zipbaits Rigge 35F Deep and Rigge 43SS are exceptional bream lures for Perth's rivers and estuaries. The Khamsin Tiny and B-Switcher Midget MDR are also outstanding choices for targeting bream around structure. For surface-feeding bream, the ZBL Fakie Dog DS is hard to beat.
Are Zipbaits and Bassday the same company?
Zipbaits was created as a premium division of Bassday Japan Inc. (established 1992) specifically for professional and tournament anglers. While they share a parent company, Zipbaits focuses on engineering-grade hard lures with advanced technologies like Mag-Drive. We stock both brands at Compleat Angler Nedlands.
Does Compleat Angler Nedlands stock Zipbaits stickbaits?
Yes, we carry the Zipbaits Monsoon Breaker in 115mm and 130mm sizes, the SSM 120 slide swim minnow, and the ZBL Conoha Pencil — all excellent choices for targeting pelagics from the shore or boat. Browse our full stickbait range online or in-store.
