TARGET SPECIES

FRESHWATER
Murray Cod | Barramundi 

Perfect For: Lakes, rivers and impoundments where fish are holding tight to structure or weed lines.
Pro Tip: Slow roll the Maniax along timber, rock bars or weed edges and that heavy tail thump and body roll trigger reaction bites from even the most inactive fish.

ESTUARY
Barramundi | Mulloway | Mangrove Jack | Flathead | Threadfin Salmon

Perfect For: Working drop-offs, drains and bridges where predators ambush from cover.
Pro Tip: Use natural tones on clear days and bright Reactor-UV colours in dirty water. The Rigged version’s breakaway system shines when targeting Barra or Jacks where it keeps fish hooked during aggressive head shakes.
