DOZER vs DOZER MIRAGE-X
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
The Dozer just got a serious facelift. The original Dozer built its reputation on heavy tail thump, full-body roll and ultra-durable Titan-RX TPE construction. Now, the Dozer Mirage-X takes that proven swimming action and gives it a whole new look.
Built with a streamlined, belly-slot-free super-soft PVC body and Mirage-X Foil Technology for incredible internal flash and more natural movement at ultra-slow through medium retrieve speeds creating the flicker, roll and movement of a real baitfish.
And with the addition of a new 6.5" size, there’s now an even bigger Dozer ready to get noticed.
Same Dozer DNA. More flash. Next-level realism.
A paddle tail that hits harder
The Dozer Minnow delivers maximum paddle-tail thump and full-body roll at dead-slow speeds. Its ribbed belly, oversized tail and keel design keep the lure working through the slowest retrieves.
The original Dozer Minnow Paddletail uses salt-infused Titan-RX™ TPE for ultra-stretch durability and features a belly slot for weedless rigging.
The NEW Dozer Mirage-X Paddletail uses super-soft PVC with internal Mirage-X Foil Technology for added flash, fluid movement and a larger presentation with no belly slot for streamlined action.
Both models feature Reactor UV + Glow and Tracer Scent.
Available in:
Dozer Minnow -Titan-RX™ TPE: 3", 4" and 5"
Dozer Mirage-X - Foil PVC: 4", 5" and 6.5"
PADDLE TAIL POWER
DOZER MINNOW
TITAN-RX™ TPE
The original Dozer Minnow is built for maximum paddle-tail thump and full-body roll at dead-slow speeds. Its ribbed belly, oversized paddle tail and precision keel keep the bait working through slow retrieves, making it ideal when fish are following but reluctant to strike.
Constructed from salt-infused Titan-RX™ TPE, it delivers ultra-stretch durability and holds its action fish after fish. Top, belly and nose rigging slots make it easy to fish on a jighead, weighted hook or weedless setup, while Reactor UV + Glow and Tracer Scent add extra visibility and attraction.
Available in: 3", 4" and 5"

STORAGE TIPS
PVC & TPE DON'T MIX
KEEP DOZER & DOZER MIRAGE-X SEPARATE
The Dozer Mirage-X is made from PVC, while the original Dozer is made from TPE. The PVC gives Dozer Mirage-X its fluid body roll and tail thump, with Mirage-X foil adding lifelike flash. It won’t have the same super-stretchy feel as the TPE Dozer Minnow.
JUST REMEMBER: Store the two Dozers separately. PVC and TPE lures can react and deform when they touch, including soft plastics from other brands. Keep them in separate compartments or their original packaging.
TARGET SPECIES
- Flathead: Slow roll sand flats, drop-offs, or channels
- Barramundi: slow pulsing retrieve to trigger lazy fish
- Mangrove Jack: Skip-cast weedless into pontoons or mangroves pulse and pause
- Mulloway: Deep water structure or bridge pylons, jighead rig with subtle lifts and long pauses
- Bass, Cod, Snapper: Rig to conditions with confidence the Dozer adapts to any depth or clarity
