Our patent pending, body design, rattle and bib locking system makes this a very strong lure to handle the rigours of fishing for Barramundi, Tiger Fish in Africa, Black Bass in Papua New Guinea as well as blue water species like Spanish Mackerel, GT’s Queenies and other saltwater species.
Our unique body design gives not only strength but a rolling action that can be achieved at the slowest of retrieves or trolled at speeds in excess of 10kph.
The patent pending bib locking system offers superior strength without the use of any glue in the lure assembly.
The integrated towing wire is part of the bib system virtually eliminating bib breakages.
