The Leavey Lures Jew 180 Lure is a heavy-duty, Australian-made shallow diving lure built to target large mulloway (jewfish) in some of the most demanding fishing environments. With its oversized profile, robust construction, and proven performance, this lure is designed for serious anglers chasing trophy fish off rock walls, river mouths, and deep estuary holes.

At 180mm in length and 90g in weight, the Jew 180 casts long and tracks with stability through tidal currents and surging surf zones. It features heavy-duty split rings and 3x strong VMC 5/0 trebles, providing the stopping power needed to handle big predators and heavy structure.

Diving to an average depth of 1 metre, the Jew 180 performs best with a slow, steady retrieve that mimics a large, injured baitfish — a key trigger for aggressive strikes. Whether fishing at night in tidal estuaries or working coastal ledges during high tide, this lure is built to handle Australia's toughest fishing conditions.

Engineered to deliver consistent results straight out of the box, the Jew 180 is a must-have for anglers targeting trophy mulloway in saltwater environments.
