How to work it
Cast the Rolling Bait 99 and allow it to sink on a controlled drop, then retrieve with a steady, medium-paced strip to activate its distinctive rolling action.
The 30g weight delivers excellent casting distance on light tackle, making it ideal for covering ground from shore or boat. Work it through the midwater and surface zone where kahawai, trevally, and kingfish feed, adjusting retrieve speed to match conditions-slower in calm water or around pressured fish, faster when targeting active feeders.
Its natural rolling motion mimics baitfish behaviour better than standard vibration baits, triggering strikes from cautious fish in clear or lightly fished waters.
