Went bloody hard in 2 1/2 ft of water, my best land capture. Had the adrenalin pumpin! Caught two this is the bigger of them, this one went absolutely nuts, smashed the maniac soon as it hit the water

Maniac
Yeah danno its the shaped one, well worth your dosh! it was the only lure that enticed a few hits from the bluefin, barracuda's and trout/cod. as soon as i got back to perth i stocked up on em for exmouth next year.
John, awesome fun on the baitcaster and jus watchin these guys hammer thru the shallow water was almost as much fun as the fight.

That's great!
Got bricked by several of these at Christmas Island using 2 kg bream gear and soft plastics...I suppose I was asking for it! Beautiful fish and very visual experience, a special part of the world!
