Swimbaits, Wakebaits & Glidebaits

Shop swimbaits, wakebaits and glidebaits built for realistic big-fish presentations in Australian fresh and saltwater. These lifelike lures are ideal for targeting Murray cod, barramundi, bass, mangrove jack, flathead and impoundment predators that respond to natural baitfish profiles, slow rolls and wide searching actions.

Choose from hard body glidebaits, soft swimbaits, wakebaits, jointed lures and premium predator profiles from leading brands including Megabass, Jackall, Rapala, Nomad, Storm, Westin, Berkley and more.

How To Choose

Match lure size to the bait and target species. Smaller swimbaits suit bass, flathead and estuary work, while larger glidebaits and wakebaits are popular for Murray cod, barra and trophy fish.

Use wakebaits when fish are hunting shallow or feeding near the surface. Choose glidebaits for slow, side-to-side presentations around weed edges, timber, rock walls and points. Soft swimbaits are excellent for steady retrieves, deeper water and pressured fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between swimbaits and glidebaits?
Swimbaits usually have a natural swimming action, while glidebaits move in a wider side-to-side pattern with rod twitches or slow retrieves.

Are wakebaits good for Murray cod?
Yes, wakebaits are very effective for Murray cod, especially at night, around timber, banks, weed beds and shallow structure.

What rod should I use for big swimbaits?
Use a baitcast rod with enough lure rating and power to cast heavy lures safely and set hooks on large fish.
