Choose 16 cm at 28 g for jigging or steady retrieves for pike and zander. The 20 cm at 55 g and 25 cm at 105 g are primarily for pike on a steady retrieve, on a shallow rig or weighted. Packs contain two lures in 16 and 20 cm, or one in 25 cm, so the largest silhouette also means more weight and fewer lures per pack.
Keeping the upper tip gives slow-motion action for a restrained presentation, especially in winter and for large predators. Tearing it off produces a more agile, forceful action with high-frequency flanking. Zeck recommends removing it for most situations, particularly warm periods, so decide which action you want before modifying the tail.
For 16 cm, Zeck lists a Jig Head #4/0 with a stinger or a Bullet Jig Head #6/0. For 20 cm, the listed jighead setup is a Bullet Jig Head #8/0 with a stinger. The 20 and 25 cm versions can also be fished on a shallow rig or weighted, letting you choose the setup for the intended presentation.
No, Zeck states that a pike rod with a 120 g casting rating is sufficient for the 105 g lure. Its ribbed construction reduces weight despite the large silhouette, so a dedicated big-bait rod is not required for this version.
The angled, deeply cut ribs reduce weight, improve aerodynamics and create water turbulence while keeping the body flexible. This gives a large silhouette without a solid body's weight and allows the lure to fold readily in a predator's mouth, making it easy to inhale.
It is made from BPA- and phthalate-free PVC. It is only a fishing lure, not food for people or animals. Keep it away from children unless supervised and out of pets' reach, even though those plasticisers are absent.

The Rippler is a ribbed softbait for pike fishing, with the 16 cm version also intended for zander. Based on an idea from Uli Beyer, its angled, deeply cut ribs reduce weight and improve aerodynamics while preserving flexibility. The body creates water turbulence, is easy for predators to inhale and folds readily in the mouth. A large 3D eye completes the design.
The 16 cm version weighs 28 g and comes in a pack of two. It suits jigging or a steady retrieve for pike and zander. Zeck lists a Jig Head #4/0 with a stinger or a Bullet Jig Head #6/0 as compatible setups.
The 20 cm version weighs 55 g and comes in a pack of two. It is primarily for pike and works best on a steady retrieve, either on a shallow rig or with added weight. Its low weight allows comparatively light rods and less tiring repeated casting. The listed jighead setup is a Bullet Jig Head #8/0 with a stinger.
The 25 cm version weighs 105 g and comes as one lure. It offers the largest silhouette for pike and is best steadily retrieved on a shallow rig or weighted setup. Zeck states that a pike rod rated to cast 120 g is sufficient, so a dedicated big-bait rod is not required. The larger profile comes with a higher lure weight than the smaller versions.
Leave the upper tail tip intact for a slow-motion action, particularly useful in winter and for large predators when a restrained action is wanted. Remove it for a more agile, forceful action with high-frequency flanking. Zeck recommends this livelier action for most situations, especially warm periods. The tip can simply be torn off.
All three lengths are offered in Clear Water, Firetiger, Motoroil, Murky Beast, Perch, Pike, River King, Rudd, Shock Perch, Shock Pike, UBS Classic and Whitefish. Choose the colour separately from the size and action.
The PVC body is BPA- and phthalate-free. Use only as a fishing lure, not for human consumption or as feed for ruminants, livestock or pets. Keep away from children unless appropriately supervised, and store out of pets' reach.
