Pro Lure 130mm FISHTAIL
The Pro,Lure,Fishtail,130mm paddle tail is the ultimate go-to lure for targeting Mulloway. Pro Lure was determined to develop a lure that would catch Mulloway consistently — a Holy Grail for lure designers. We wanted a lure that could draw out stationary fish from structure, allow anglers to work larger areas swiftly, and stay highly visible in dirty run-off water following rain. All objectives for the Fishtail have been achieved. We now have the go-to Mulloway lure — it's the Pro Lure Fishtail. The Pro Lure Fishtail 130mm paddle tail is a must for all serious Mulloway anglers and for those who target deep estuarine predators.

HOW AND WHERE TO USE THE FISHTAIL
The Paddle Tail is an inshore special and can be fished anywhere that holds fish. A key feature of the Fishtail is that it was designed with a broad body profile and large paddle style tail, giving a wide action. This is brilliant for reflecting light when rolled under bridge lighting at night and at dawn and dusk when light levels are really low. The Pro Lure Fishtail 130mm paddle tail casts well and works throughout the water column.
FISHTAIL TIPS
- Target river and estuary Mulloway at night using the ambient light from civic structures such as wharfs, bridges and break walls, especially around the 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 Fishtail is a Mulloway special. If you expect your location holds Jew, drop a Fishtail to the bottom and start with a slow to medium retrieve with a few hops and pauses. Be ready to strike at even the slightest inquiry, as Jewfish are known for softly tapping the lure.
The broad body profile and large paddle tail of the Pro,Lure,Fishtail,130mm generate a wide swimming action. This wide profile catches and reflects available light, making the Pro,Lure,Fishtail,130mm especially effective under bridge lighting at night and during low-light periods at dawn and dusk. The Pro Lure Fishtail 130mm casts accurately and moves through the entire water column with a lifelike rolling action. When targeting Mulloway, the Pro,Lure,Fishtail,130mm draws strikes from both inactive fish holding near structure and actively feeding fish roaming larger areas.
