Expert Advice

The 1/2oz Codman is ideal for slow rolling alongside standing timber, submerged logs and rocky banks where Murray cod lie in ambush. Keep your retrieve slow enough for the blades to pulse consistently, and make repeated casts to high-percentage structure. The supplied paddle tail trailer adds extra movement at slow speeds, while the stinger hook can improve hook-up rates when cod strike short.
