Samaki Live Shrimp Lure Weedless 165mm

A hyper-realistic 165mm prawn imitation built to tempt barra, mangrove jack and flathead in tight structure and dirty water.

The Samaki Live Shrimp 165mm is engineered for anglers who demand lifelike movement, durability and versatility from a soft plastic lure. Designed to mimic a real prawn in every detail, this weedless-ready shrimp profile delivers natural action that draws aggressive strikes from Australia’s top estuary and freshwater predators.

The segmented tail responds to even the slightest rod twitch, while finely tuned legs pulse and vibrate on the retrieve. This subtle but highly effective movement perfectly imitates a fleeing shrimp. Add in a built-in rattle and glowing eyes, and the Live Shrimp becomes a serious strike trigger in low light, stained water or heavy cover where fish rely on vibration and flash.

Constructed from super-tough TPE material and reinforced with Kevlar, the Live Shrimp is built to handle repeated hits without tearing apart after one fish. It holds up under pressure, making it ideal for fishing snags, rock bars, mangroves and heavy structure where big fish live.

Available in multiple pre-rigged configurations, including a balanced weighted worm hook for true weedless presentations, as well as light and heavy jighead options, the Samaki Live Shrimp 165mm is ready to fish straight from the pack. Whether you’re skipping it under pontoons, working drains on the flats or slow-rolling along deep structure, this is a prawn imitation built to get eaten.
