LIVE OPS BARRAMUNDI

Barra don’t give up bites easily. Live Ops lures are engineered for precision casts, slow-rolled presentations, and strike-triggering action deep in the structure where barra hunt.

Outsmart Barra

When barra are moody or buried deep in structure, it comes down to controlled movement, natural sink, and staying in the strike zone. The Sumo Shrimp, Maniax Swimbait, Switcher Shrimp & Dozer Minnow deliver thumping tail roll, flick-back prawn action, and tunable sink rates to turn lazy follows into committed strikes.
