The Fishcraft Jerk Man 85 has a super responsive fish-attracting action, with a running depth of 1m. It’s the perfect lure for fishing shallow sand flats, weed beds, rocky shores, oyster leases and submerged timber.

You can twitch or slow roll the Jerk Man 85 and expect some explosive strikes from a heap of cool salt and freshwater species such as mangrove jack, saratoga, barramundi, tailor, dusky flathead and sooty grunter, to name a few.

The Jerk Man 85 is 10g in weight and 85mm long, making it an awesome light tackle floating jerkbait. It comes in a range of custom Fishcraft paint finishes that cover all conceivable conditions in both salt and freshwater. Those classic colours include pink sherbet, silver shad, spotted prawn, white widow, pearl shrimp, spotted herring, black & gold, and chartreuse UV tiger.

The Fishcraft Jerk Man 85 also features a hi-impact ABS construction, fish attracting rattle, size 6 chemically-sharpened hooks and stainless steel split rings. Each lure is tuned to swim straight out of the box. www.fishcraft.com.au

The new Saltiga Rough Ride delivers Australian anglers a floating stickbait that is true to the Saltiga name and built to handle Aussie angling species and demands. Specifically tuned by the Daiwa Australia team, the new Rough Ride features ultra-strong through-wire construction, a hybrid BKK hook set, and a range of colours resembling tried and tested Australian baitfish patterns.

Saltiga Rough Ride construction is unique. At first glance you’ll notice its dimpled pattern, similar to a golf ball. This pattern stabilizes the lure both in the cast through the air, and when retrieving through the water.

On the inside, Saltiga Rough Ride has been beefed up, featuring a thicker stainless steel through-wire construction and a hybrid BKK hook setup, a system favoured by many topwater experts. Saltiga Rough Ride features BKK Raptor X treble hooks on the belly hanger, and a BKK Diablo inline single hook on the tail.

Featuring Daiwa’s ADEL foil to resemble the pearlescent underside of baitfish, the colour patterns of Saltiga Rough Ride are some of the best saltwater colours ever designed by Daiwa Australia, and give options for all conditions and locations. The Saltiga Rough Ride is available in two sizes (140F and 160F) and seven colours. www.daiwafishing.com.au

The Mercury Avator 7.5e electric outboard generates 750W of power at the prop shaft, and produces similar speed and acceleration as a Mercury 3.5hp FourStroke outboard.

The Avator is offered with tiller or remote steering, and delivers clean, quiet power. It has swappable batteries, a quick-connect mounting system and intuitive controls for easy operation. The full-colour display tracks battery level and range.

The 1kilowatt hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery is a safe, reliable 48V power source that’s been drop-tested and IP67 rated for water resistance. Smart chargers monitor the voltage and current to deliver a safe, effective charge and can shut down to protect the battery if there is an issue. A digital display continuously tracks your current power status and estimated runtime.

This quiet motor generates high torque with little effort, maximising battery life while contributing to faster acceleration and efficient performance.

The Avator is compatible with the Mercury Marine app. You can access the app for free to enjoy basic functionality, or you can add a Mercury SmartCraft Connect module to the outboard to unlock advanced features of the app. This includes a GPS map, battery level, outboard hours, speed and system notifications. www.mercurymarine.com

The Duo Fangbait series introduces an 80mm compact model designed for large predatory fish found in Papua New Guinea, Australia, and Brazil.

Equipped with sturdy through body wire, eyelets built for big, heavy-wire hooks, and weight-shifting system of the Fangbait series, the Fangbait 80DR is set to make a massive impact on barra.

The Fangbait 80DR is perfect for targeting barramundi, where a change to a thick-wire hook and ample floatation in the lure are necessary to create an enticing suspend – a technique and tactic that has gone ahead in leaps and bounds over the last couple of years.

The Duo Fangbait series is designed to be a tougher series of lures – a series that allows anglers to fish heavy for big fish. This is exactly what barra anglers need as nothing stresses tackle like massive impoundment barra.

Available in nine colours, these 80mm long lures weigh an easy casting 11.5g and dive between 1.5-2.5m, suspending beautifully in front of the fish’s face.

Price: SRP $25.99 www.wilsonfishing.com
