How to work it
Cast the Real Baitz Whitebait around estuary structure, shallow reefs and inshore drop-offs where predators hunt small baitfish. Work it on slow, steady retrieves to trigger takes from selective feeders-the natural tail action and lifelike profile do the work without aggressive movement.
Both the 50mm and 75mm sizes excel on unhurried winds. Let the lure's tight wobble and fast tail action drive strikes; a methodical pace often outperforms erratic jigging. The pre-rigged hook system means you're ready to fish straight away. Target areas with bait concentrations and structure-rock walls, drop-offs and shallow channels are prime zones where whitebait-feeding predators patrol.
