Fiiish Blaster Shad
Only a few left!
A very unique swimbait from the French company Fiiish, the Blaster Shad is best looked at as a swimbait system rather than just swimbait.
Featuring a well refined profile, the ABS head integrates into a soft swimbait boot tail that gives it a very lively and unique action. This bait also has quick interchangeable weights called Player blocks allowing shallow or deeper presentations and a clip which keeps the hook locked to the body.
This bait in various sizes has had used extensively in Lake Tinaroo, producing numerous barramundi well over a meter straight out of the packet. Although designed for Pike, the lure can be upgraded easily and also does not affect the swim, although its standard hooks are up to the tasks on most occasions.
We are hoping to keep a good supply of these moving into the future, a small selection available now in the following sizes:
130mm (Size 1) (Single Treble)
160mm (Size 2) (Single Treble)
200mm (Size 3) (2 Trebles)
U-BAiT's U-Strike 24cm (Classics)
Sold out
A lighter stinger harness system like The Osprey developed by Irukandji will keep the bait higher in the water column which is perfect for the new live scope techniques in Australia chasing trophy barramundi and Murray Cod. It also can be traditionally rigged on various larger jigheads for deeper presentations. The 24cm will suit a 10/0 sized hook.
We have selected the same grea colours as the U-Shad, grab them while you can!
Please note, tails can warp during postage. To straighten, dip in boiling water for approx. 10-20 seconds and suspend by the tail wrist, these will straighten back to their normal position. Try and keep baits seperate as some of the vivid colours can leach across and stain.
U-BAiT - U-Shad 22 (Classic)
Sold out
Designed and created by a master of soft swimbaits in Sweden, Jacob Magnusson has created a unique designed swimbait in the U-Shads that feature a wide, rounder profile that has signifiant roll and a thumping tail. With its design it allows the bait to be versatile in its rigging.

The colour palettes hand poured by Magnusson are perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing of soft baits world wide. These are not a high volume plastic from China, grab them while you can!

Musky Innovations Swimming' Dawgs - 8 and 10"
Only a few left!
The shallow variations are a rounder profiled bait, with the regular version a thinner profile providing more shimmy than roll. Both versions get chewed by the barra so are worth having both in the box. Note that due to the design and flexible harness, tearing of the bait during usage can occur. By using the hot knife method or a quality super glue will ensure that many fish can be landed on the same bait.
Available in 3 sizes:
- 10 inches, 5.8 oz - Magnum (Shallow) Swimming Dawg
- 8 Inches, 3.5 oz - Shallow Swimming Dawg
- 8 Inches, 2.3 oz - Regular Swimming Dawg
*note due to the packaging on these baits shipping costs may vary slightly pending amounts ordered to fit into the larger flat rate packaging sizes.

Chaos 8" Posseidon
Handmade in the US for giant musky, this 8 inch soft swimbait has a solid internal harness and super sharp 2/0 trebles. Due to its large boot tail construction this plastic produces a powerful tail thump that generated great movement through the body of the lure, prefect for producing a good vibration signature in dirty water or for calling in super sized Barra from a distance away.
The standard trebles have been fine during product testing to barra up to 115cm in most situations. We recommend upgrading to a solid 4X treble if you are fishing heavy structure requiring high drag settings and are currently working on finding a suitable upgrade for future batches.

Illex Dexter Shad - 250 & 200
Only a few left!
The Illex Dexter Shad was designed for the pike market in Europe but has quite a cult following from big barra hunters in Australia from those anglers in the know. The swimbait has quite a unique action which has proven irresistible to big Barras and and has put countless meter plus fish on the decks of our boats through the years.
Available in:
250 (220mm)
200 (175mm)
250 size matches well with a quality 10/0 jig head, with the 200 size more suited to a 9/0 such as those by ProLates which won't let you down.
A benefit of the design is it will generally float if torn off during a fight which allows for repair and multiple fish on most occasions.
