Molix Swim Shad 180 Lure

Big-profile, pre-rigged soft swimbait with an Aussie-spec heavy hook that moves serious water and stays pinned on trophy barra and other inshore brutes.

Built for power fishing in tough Australian conditions, the Swim Shad 180 throws a wide tail thump and steady body roll that tracks perfectly on a slow-to-medium retrieve. The extended 18cm profile calls fish from distance, while internal weighting keeps the lure running true beside timber, rock bars and wind-blown points.

A heavy-gauge hook is moulded into the body for maximum holding power on powerful head shakes. Natural finishes and 3D details convert followers into eaters, making the 180 a smart choice when you need drawing power without sacrificing realism.

Ideal for impoundment barramundi, tidal river threadfin, mulloway, mangrove jack and XL flathead.
