Bassman Codman DT Spinnerbait Lure - 1oz

The Bassman Codman DT Spinnerbait Lure - 1oz is built for anglers targeting Murray cod in slow-moving water, delivering maximum vibration, excellent lift and outstanding hook-up potential.

The Bassman Codman DT (Double Trouble) is a heavy-duty spinnerbait designed specifically for chasing Australia's iconic Murray cod. Featuring twin arms fitted with double Colorado blades, this lure creates intense vibration that helps fish locate it in low visibility and slow-water conditions where cod often ambush their prey.

The unique twin-arm design also helps reduce snagging around timber and structure while keeping the hook exposed for solid hook-ups. As the lure sinks, both blades rotate immediately, creating an attractive helicopter-style descent that often triggers strikes before the retrieve even begins. Supplied with a stinger soft plastic and matching stinger hook, the Codman DT gives anglers extra confidence when targeting trophy cod.

Key Benefits

• Twin Colorado blades – Produce maximum vibration and lift for slow retrieves that keep the lure in the strike zone longer.
• Helicopter-style sink – Both blades spin on the drop, creating action from the moment the lure enters the water.
• Twin-arm spinnerbait design – Helps minimise snagging while maintaining an open hook position for improved hook-up rates.
• Includes stinger rig – Supplied with a stinger soft plastic and stinger hook to improve hook-up opportunities on cautious fish.

Expert Advice

The Bassman Codman DT performs best with a slow, steady retrieve that allows the twin Colorado blades to pulse continuously. Focus on casting around submerged timber, rock bars and laydowns where Murray cod hold. Let the lure sink on a semi-slack line before beginning the retrieve, as many strikes occur during its helicopter-style fall. Fish it on heavy baitcast tackle with braided line and a strong leader suitable for large cod and heavy structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish is the Bassman Codman DT designed for?

This spinnerbait is purpose-built for targeting Murray cod and is ideal for anglers fishing rivers, lakes and impoundments where large cod are found around heavy cover.

Why does the Codman DT use twin Colorado blades?

The double Colorado blade configuration creates maximum vibration and extra lift, making it ideal for slow retrieves where Murray cod can easily detect the lure.

Can this spinnerbait be used in fast-flowing water?

It is best suited to slower water. In stronger current the large blades can create excessive lift, making it more difficult to keep the lure in the preferred strike zone.

What is the advantage of the included stinger hook?

The included stinger soft plastic and stinger hook can improve hook-up rates, particularly when cod strike short or nip at the rear of the spinnerbait.
