Pro Lure Fishtail 105mm Paddle Tail Soft Bait
The Pro Lure Fishtail was developed as a go-to lure for targeting Mulloway in a wide range of estuary conditions.
A lure that catches Mulloway consistently has long been a Holy Grail for lure designers.
The aim was to create a lure that could draw fish from structure and also cover larger areas where fish are moving and feeding.
It also needed to stay highly visible in dirty run off water, where bait is often pushed down river after rain.
Those objectives have been achieved with the Pro Lure Fishtail.
It is a must-have for serious Mulloway anglers and for those targeting deep estuarine predators.

HOW AND WHERE TO USE THE FISHTAIL
This Paddle Tail is an inshore special and can be fished anywhere that holds fish.
A key feature is its broad body profile and large paddle style tail, which creates a wide action in the water.
That action is ideal for reflecting light under bridges at night and during low light periods at dawn and dusk.
Anglers also familiar with the 80mm fish tail can step up to this 105mm size when targeting bigger fish.
FISHTAIL TIPS
- Target river and estuary Mulloway at night using ambient light from wharfs, bridges and break walls, especially around tide changes
- Use the bigger Fishtails (105mm,130mm) when targeting big fish, particularly when you’re hunting huge Flathead
- When hunting for record book Flathead, try a smaller Fishtail like the 80mm to assess if there are Flathead in the area. If you get a smaller Flatty, change up to the 130mm. There are monster Lizards there, you must persist.
- The Pro Lure Fishtail is a Mulloway special. If you expect your location holds Jew, drop a Fishtail to the bottom and begin with a slow to medium retrieve, adding a few hops and pauses. Be ready to strike at the slightest inquiry, as jewfish are known for softly tapping the lure.
