Tackle House - Contact Feed Shallow 105
About this lure
A compact shallow minnow built for precision casting and subtle presentation in tight or shallow water.
At 105mm and 16g, the Feed Shallow 105 is designed for casting distance and control in small harbours, estuaries, and river mouths. It swims just below the surface—down to 30cm—making it ideal for working over weed beds, flats, and rocky edges. Its unique rolling action and near-horizontal swimming posture produce a natural head movement and strong flash from the flat sides, drawing attention without spooking wary fish.
The K-TEN system with magnetic tungsten ensures long, stable casts, even into wind or across current seams.

Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Contact Feed Shallow 105 into tight shallow water-harbours, estuaries, river mouths, and around weed beds or rocky edges.
Work it with short, steady strips or a gentle twitch-and-pause rhythm to trigger the rolling head action and flash from its flat sides. The lure sits just below the surface (down to ~30cm), making it ideal for wary kingfish feeding over structure.
Its 16g weight and compact 105mm profile deliver precise casting control even in wind; pair it with a light to medium spinning outfit for responsive presentation.
