The Samaki Vibelicious Vibe 85mm - 14g Lure is a premium soft plastic vibration lure designed to imitate a wounded or fleeing baitfish.

Constructed from durable 10X Super Stretch material around premium Japanese stainless through-wire, it combines flexibility with strength for demanding fishing conditions. Its responsive vibration and natural sinking action make it effective when slow rolled, hopped along the bottom, vertically jigged or slowly trolled.

Expert Advice

The Samaki Vibelicious Fork 85mm is an excellent option when targeting predatory fish holding around estuary drop-offs, channel edges, submerged structure and deeper freshwater areas. Its 14g weight allows anglers to reach fish holding below the surface while maintaining a responsive, natural swimming action.

For flathead, cast across sandy drop-offs or channel edges and allow the lure to sink towards the bottom. Use controlled rod lifts to activate the Vibelicious vibration, then lower the rod tip as the lure falls. Many strikes occur on the drop, so maintain contact with the lure and watch for sudden line movement.

When targeting Australian bass, try slow rolling the Vibelicious past submerged timber, weed edges and deeper structure. For mulloway, work the lure through deeper channels and around fish-holding areas using a combination of slow lifts and controlled pauses.

The Vibelicious can also be vertically jigged over schooled fish or slowly trolled through productive areas. Experiment with retrieve speed and lift height to find the presentation that produces the most consistent response.

To maintain the condition of the 10X Super Stretch body, store the lure separately from conventional soft plastics unless material compatibility has been confirmed.
