HOW TO
RIGGING
The Maniax Unrigged Paddle Tail lets you create the perfect setup for any species, depth, or terrain. Featuring Titan-RX TPE Elastomer body, rig-ready hook slots and internal chambers for multiple uses it gives you total control over your presentation whether you’re fishing shallow weed beds or deep bends.
Rigging Options:
- Jighead: Ideal for open water or deep slow-rolling.
- Weedless: Use an EWG or screw-lock hook for tight cover and structure.
- Treble/Stinger: Add for short-strike situations.
- Exposed Hook: Fine-tune with Tungsten Balls for a level, natural fall.
- Harness Rig: Pair with a wire harness or twin-hook setup for chasing larger predators like barra or cod. Delivers a secure connection and improved hook-up rate while maintaining natural swim action.
Tuning Tips:
- Adjust Tungsten weights to perfect sink rate and posture.
- Air pockets add lift, roll, and sonar visibility.
- Reactor-UV colours pop in dirty water; use naturals in clear conditions.
- Ultra-tough Titan-RX TPE body handles repeated strikes.
Pro Tip: Mix slow rolls with burn-pauses to trigger reaction bites.
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 pinned during aggressive head shakes.
How to store tpe lures
Our MANIAX are made from Ultra-Tough Titan-RX TPE, which can chemically react with other soft plastics if stored incorrectly. Proper storage is essential to prevent deformation and maintain performance.
- Store in the original packaging when possible (the safest option)
- If storing in a tackle box, use a worm-proof box designed for soft baits
- DO NOT store TPE with non-TPE baits
- DO NOT store TPE baits from different brands together
- TPE baits from the same brand CAN be stored together safely
