Built with LiveTarget’s award-winning injected core technology, the LiveTarget Sonic Shad Bladebait features a transparent exo-skin and life-like inner core to generate its signature action, and accurately imitate the profile of natural forage.

Perfect for anglers targeting fish relating to steep banks and ledges, the Sonic Shad Bladebait is extremely effective in cooler weather when species like bass are a little slower and require a more subtle presentation.

Two line tie positions allow anglers to customise the amount of vibration the lure produces, so the action can be adjusted according to your retrieve style or the mood of the fish.

Equipped with premium hardware, the sticky sharp double hooks keep fish pinned and prevent the lure from getting hung up on the bottom. A versatile tool for locating fish in all sections of the water column, the Sonic Shad Bladebait can be fished in 1-60ft of water with a fast or slow retrieve, yo-yo’d along the bottom, or jigged vertically.

The Sonic Shad Bladebait produces a strobe-like flash with ultra-realistic paint finishes, lifelike eyes and textured scaling. www.wilsonfishing.com

Daiwa’s Goretex range of wet weather gear has been purpose designed for the Australian market. Goretex is suited to both cold and warm environments, as it’s uniquely breathable whilst still cutting wind chill to a minimum.

The Goretex jacket features top quality YKK AquaGuard zippers, and the hood has a high-stand collar with ventilation which can be worn over the face. The hood’s airtunnel opening makes high-speed boat rides no problem, while a 3-way adjustment in the hood allows for perfect closure around the centre panel design for a comfortable fit.

A concealed bottom hem cord stopper can cinch down the bottom of the jacket without loose cords and stoppers to tangle in wayward fishing line. Double-cuffed sleeves prevent the dreaded water seepage down the arm when fishing in heavy rain.

The Goretex bib and brace set gives complete coverage so you can sit down during rain. A buckle-less strap design with square shaped soft loops increases comfort for long sessions, and a gusseted crotch increases freedom of movement, so you never feel restricted. Zip open pant bottoms enable them to be slipped over boots easily.
