Spinnerbaits, Chatterbaits, Swim & Fly Jigs

Spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, swim jigs and fly jigs are proven fish-catching lures designed to trigger reaction strikes from Australia's most popular freshwater and estuary sportfish. Combining flash, vibration, movement and lifelike profiles, these versatile lures are highly effective for targeting Murray cod, golden perch, bass, barramundi, mangrove jack, flathead and other predatory species.

Whether you're fishing timber, weed beds, rock bars, lily pads or submerged structure, these lure styles allow anglers to cover water efficiently while maintaining excellent snag resistance. From the thumping vibration of a chatterbait to the subtle swimming action of a jig or the flash of a spinnerbait blade, each lure offers unique advantages depending on the conditions and fish behaviour.

How To Choose

Spinnerbaits are ideal for fishing heavy cover, dirty water and timber where their blades create flash and vibration. Chatterbaits produce an aggressive vibrating action that excels around weed edges and active fish. Swim jigs offer a more natural baitfish presentation and are commonly paired with soft plastic trailers.

Fly jigs are designed to imitate baitfish and can be worked through the water column with lifts, drops and steady retrieves. Select lure weight based on water depth, structure and retrieve speed, with heavier models better suited to deeper water and stronger current.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a spinnerbait and a chatterbait?
Spinnerbaits use rotating blades to generate flash and vibration, while chatterbaits feature a vibrating blade attached to the lure head that creates a strong pulsing action.

When should I use a swim jig?
Swim jigs are ideal when fish are feeding on baitfish and a more subtle, natural presentation is required around structure or weed.

What fish can be caught on fly jigs?
Fly jigs are effective on species including bass, golden perch, Murray cod, trevally, snapper and a variety of estuary and offshore predators depending on the jig style and retrieve.
