Big Baits Are Back — A Week of Lure Auctions and Tweaks
This week saw the return of lure auctions, and what a way to bring them back. On the surface the two 300mm timber lures up for grabs almost looked like twins, but put them in the water and they reveal two very different personalities. Designed for anglers who love to fine-tune their gear, these big baits have been a highlight to work on and release.
300mm Wakebait, With Options to Match the Bite
The first lure was our 300mm Wakebait, but with a twist. This big lure now comes with three tail options, bucktail, rats tail, and the new Thump Tail. Each one changes the action, feel and presence in the water, letting you tweak the presentation to suit the day’s conditions, fish mood, or structure you’re working.
To top it off, this Wakebait features our new black carbon-look bib. This bib material offers just a touch of flex, a huge advantage when those wayward casts find rock instead of water. A small detail, but one with a big benefit for anyone who throws big baits around hard structure at night.
300mm CrankDown, Similar Shape, Different Behaviour
The second auctioned lure might look similar, but it’s actually our 300mm CrankDown model. The bib angle is changed to give it a different job underwater. On a slow roll it will still wake across the surface, but add a little crank and it will dive to around a foot, rolling and flashing just below the surface with that seductive crankbait sway. A perfect crankdown lure for when fish want something sitting a touch deeper.
Wakebait up top. CrankDown underneath. Same size. Two different tools.
These will be our last big bait builds for 2025, so if you’re a collector, a musky-style big bait angler, a Murray Cod hunter, or someone who simply loves handcrafted timber lures, keep your eyes on future drops. More custom lure releases will roll out through the year, just not in the 300mm class.
