How to work it
Cast the Real Baitz Australian Pilchard and work it on a steady retrieve, allowing its tight, fast tail beat to do the work.
The natural sinking action makes it effective on the drop - pause and let it fall to trigger reaction strikes from aggressive predators. This swimbait excels in open water, over reef edges and along current lines where tuna, snapper, reef species and inshore flathead hunt.
Pair it with a quality leader and appropriate rod for the target species and environment; the pre-rigged, tough hardware is built to handle powerful, aggressive takes.
