AFTA 2021 SPECIAL EDITION
New Atomic Hardz Pop 75
ATOMIC has released a new model in their popper range. The Atomic Hardz Pop 75 is perfect for larger species such as bream, whiting, flathead, bass, tailor and mangrove jack. The lure has a slender profile and casts exceptionally well for the size. It is an excellent walker with a swift side-to-side action. The key to the unique action of the Pop 75 is the slim profile. You can use it with a traditional retrieve with a small ‘blooping’ action or try a walk-the-dog retrieve with pauses for more wary predators. This can be achieved by moving your rod tip as you wind. The Pop 75 is available in an amazing array colours, with both natural and brightly visible patterns available. To find out more, visit atomiclures.com. au or facebook.com/atomiclures
Berkley PowerBait 3.5” Fork Tail Minnow
THE new 3.5” PowerBait Fork Tail Minnow perfectly imitates a small baitfish. Rigged on a light jig head, it has an erratic darting action that fish can’t resist.

It features a natural fork tail outline and a V-shaped body cross section, making it easy to rig and swim as though it’s alive. In testing, the PowerBait Fork Tail Minnow has proven deadly on species such as bream, bass and flathead. The Fork Tail Minnow works exceptionally well when it’s left to sink seductively through the water column close to structure. Predators see it as a wounded baitfish and don’t hesitate to attack. When it’s PowerBait, you know that fish will bite and hang on 18 times longer! The Berkley PowerBait 3.5” Fork Tail Minnow starts at a RRP of $9.99. For more information, visit purefishing. com.au
BG evolution doesn’t end there, with a new drag design elevating drag power and performance, and Daiwa’s innovative long cast ABS spool design improving line flow from the spool, resulting in increased casting distances with both heavy and light lines.

Daiwa BG MQ
THE BG legend continues to grow with the release of BG MQ. The BG’s iconic black and gold looks have been restyled with a new classic black and silver colour scheme housing BG’s most technologically advanced leap forward monocoque body. Monocoque body is the single biggest revolution in spinning reel design from Daiwa, totally eliminating the traditional two-piece body construction. MQ eliminates the use of side plates and features a screwless body design eliminating potential entry points for water and grime, and significantly enhancing overall body strength and rigidity.

America, Black Bling and Black Chartreuse Fuze are the new additions to the lineup. Don’t be seen on the snapper ground this year without a pack! Gulp 6” Grubs have an RRP of $11.99.
