HOW-TO SWIMBAIT
Whether you’re inland chasing Murray Cod, up north on the hunt for barramundi or floating across the flats in your local estuary, swimbaits are productive when it comes to enticing bone crunching strikes from larger species. Learn from Pro Team angler, Levi Davison about the new Pro-Tech swimbait range and how to use them.
INLAND GIANTS
WILD RIVER MURRAY COD
“I live in the New England area of NSW and I love chasing Murray cod. The reason why is the time that you put in to catch that one good fish…the places we get to go and experience, chasing them in the rivers, gorges and the absolutely beautiful country around here.
I love the pattern on these cod and the sheer size and the size of their mouth. It just amazes me that they only have one big meal a day. It’s just my life, I love it.”

HOW-TO CHASE BARRAMUNDI
“When you come to the territory there’s one thing you really need and that’s strength… these lures are built for this. Super strong..through-wire construction, meaning from your tow point all the way down to your back treble is the one solid piece of wire. Nothing in there can let you down, and tricked up with super strong, super sharp Owner hooks, they’re straight out of the packet ready to go.”

The Berkley Pro-Tech Prawn Walker 75mm is a highly effective top water lure that walks and pushes a small splash of water with its unique cupped face design.
This allows the Prawn Walker to be walked or popped to suit the mood of the target species on the day.
The body of the Pro-Tech Prawn Walker closely imitates the natural segmented tail shape and head profile of a real-life prawn making it a prime target for species such as bream, whiting and flathead in shallow water.
As per all other Pro-Tech lure models the Prawn Walker is fitted with the highest quality Owner hooks and rings to ensure delicate strikes stay connected time after time.

NEW SIZES
Berkley Pro-Tech Benders have quickly become favorites for anglers targeting fish in shallow water environments. The new 120mm and 150mm models feature the same action as the smaller 76mm and 100mm models but move more water and make a lot more disturbance to attract larger fish.
We’ve fitted them with super tough Owner ST-56TN trebles and Owner rings to ensure you don’t straighten the hooks on the next monster flathead you hook on the flats.
Just like the smaller Benders the new 120mm and 150mm models can be easily controlled with a combination of rod tip height and retrieve speed to make it do what’s needed to replicate a wounded baitfish. Elevate your rod tip high to keep it on the surface or drop the rod tip and rip it down below the surface to entice fussy followers.
