IRRESISTABLE

PRAWN POWER

The Switcher Shrimp perfectly imitates a fleeing prawn with a natural glide on the fall and an aggressive backward flick when rigged tail-first. Built to adapt to different depths, current and cover, it's a deadly choice for targeting flathead across sand flats, drop-offs and weedbeds.

Flathead Tactics

Reverse Rig – Hop through drop-offs and gutters.
Forward Rig – Slow roll across sand flats.
Weedless Rig – Twitch through weed and structure.

Why it's deadly

Reverse Flick – Mimics a fleeing prawn.
4-Way Rigging – Fish any situation.
Horizontal Glide – Natural presentation on the fall.
ShrimpLock + Tracer Scent – Secure rigging with added attraction.
Titan-RX + UV & Glow – Tough, visible and built for big flathead.

FALLOUT MINNOW

CONTROL THE FALL

The Fallout Minnow gives you complete control over how your lure falls, helping you match the presentation to the conditions and the fish. With the Adjusta-Ball Tungsten Weight System, you can switch between a level glide, tail-first flutter or nose-down dive, making it deadly around drop-offs, pylons, weed edges and flats.

Flathead Tactics

Level Glide – Hop, twitch and pause over drop-offs.
Tail-Down Flutter – Work pylons, walls and drains.
Nose-Dive – Probe weed edges and bait-rich flats.

Why it's deadly

Adjusta-Ball System – Customise the fall to suit conditions.
Tail Flick Action – Triggers bites on the pause.
High Sonar Visibility – Easy to track with forward-facing sonar.
Versatile Rigging – Fish on a jighead or weedless.
Precision Control – Stay in the strike zone longer.

SPECTRE MINNOW

FINESSE & FLASH

The Spectre Minnow is a finesse paddletail built for pressured or cautious flathead. Its slim baitfish profile, ultra-soft tail and Mirage-X Foil create subtle flash and natural movement that perfectly imitates mullet, whitebait and other estuary forage.
