U-BAiT - U-Shad 17 (Classic)
Designed and created by a master of soft swimbaits in Sweden, Jacob Magnusson, The U-Shad feature a unique wider, rounder profile that has signifiant roll and a thumping tail bust still some durability.
This 17cm, 50g version is perfectly rigged with the new Irukandji Iron Claw jigheads in 8/0 or 9/0 sizes and can also utilise a stinger harness system like that developed by Irukandji to increase hooking power.
The Classic colour palettes are all hand poured by Magnusson and are perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing of soft baits available on the market and very hard to come by.
U-BAiT - U-Shad 22 (Classic)
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.
A lighter stinger harness system like that 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 22cm will suit a 10/0 size hook perfectly.
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!
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.

Musky Innovations Swimming' Dawgs - 8 and 10"
Only a few left!
The stunning Musky Innovations Swimming' Dawg feature a flexible internal harness in a solid super soft body providing unmatched suppleness and a great rolling action and tail movements on the drop. When barramundi are feeding on large mullet high in the water column or on shallow flats, this is the perfect representation. Hand made and painted in Wisconsin USA, these are a hard to come by premium bait.
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.
Available in 3 size/weights:
- 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
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.
Super sharp and surprisingly strong standard trebles (good up to 115cm barra during product testing. I recommend upgraded to a 2/0-3/0 4X treble for any higher drag situations in snaggy country.
Specs:
- Weight: 3.75 oz (~106g)
- 2/0 trebles
- 8"/205mm
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)
