Daiwa X Madotachi Shifter 140 Lure

A versatile 140mm jointed floating swimbait with interchangeable tails and Madotachi's Wing System, giving Australian lure anglers the flexibility to adapt their presentation as conditions and fish behaviour change.

The Daiwa X Madotachi Shifter 140 Lure combines Daiwa engineering with Madotachi lure design in a 140mm, 34g floating swimbait built around versatility. Madotachi's unique Wing System allows the lure to be tuned to suit the conditions, while its jointed profile can be worked using everything from a steady retrieve to sharp twitches and extended pauses.

Interchangeable Pin Tail and Fish Tail options give anglers another way to fine-tune the Shifter's action, making it adaptable across estuaries, impoundments and inshore saltwater environments. The floating design brings the lure back towards the surface when paused, while ultra-strong BKK treble hooks provide the terminal strength required when fishing for hard-fighting Australian predators.

Expert Advice

The Shifter 140 is best approached as an adjustable swimbait rather than a lure with one fixed retrieve. Start with a steady retrieve to establish how fish are responding, then introduce sharp twitches and pauses when you need a more erratic presentation. Because the lure is floating, longer pauses allow it to rise towards the surface, which can be particularly useful when working around structure or changing the lure's position in the water column. Experiment with the Pin Tail and Fish Tail options and the Wing System rather than sticking with one configuration all day; the ability to alter the lure's behaviour is one of the Shifter's key advantages.
