MMD Splash Prawn 80mm Lure

A deadly surface prawn that skips, splashes and tempts whiting, bream and flathead when you need subtle topwater realism with serious hook-up power.

The MMD Splash Prawn 80mm is a compact, highly responsive topwater lure designed to imitate a prawn flicking and skipping across the surface — a trigger that Aussie estuary predators simply can’t ignore. At 80mm and 6.4g, it’s the perfect in-between size for anglers who want more presence than ultra-small surface lures, while still keeping a finesse-friendly profile that pressured fish will confidently eat.

This lure excels over sand flats, yabby beds, channel edges, pontoons and shallow weed where prawns are a natural food source. The Splash Prawn’s unique tail design throws surface spray and disturbance without looking bulky, giving you that perfect “panic prawn” impression that draws fish up and converts follows into committed strikes.

Whether you’re working it with a slow straight retrieve, short twitches, or a pop-and-pause cadence, the 80mm model is easy to fish and incredibly effective — especially for whiting sessions where topwater eats are the goal.

Finished with Mustad Jawlock 3X trebles, it’s built for strong hook penetration and secure holds, even when fish crash it boatside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MMD Splash Prawn 80mm good for whiting?
Yes — it’s an excellent whiting surface lure. The prawn profile and surface splash action match what whiting naturally feed on across flats and yabby beds.

What’s the best retrieve for the Splash Prawn 80mm?
Start with a slow straight wind to keep it working cleanly. If fish are following, add short twitches and pauses to imitate a fleeing prawn and trigger the strike.

What line and rod suits this lure best?
A light estuary spin setup is ideal (2–6lb braid with light leader). The 6.4g weight casts well on most bream/whiting rods.

Do the Mustad Jawlock 3X trebles suit saltwater use?
Yes — they’re strong, sharp and built to handle aggressive strikes and hard fights in estuary/salt conditions.
