FTP STRIKER SOFT PLASTIC PADDLE TAIL - KNIGHT

Striker Paddle Tail Soft Plastic Lure

Target flathead, snapper and mulloway with the Flicking The Plastics Striker Paddle Tail. Its kicking paddle tail and rolling body action create a baitfish presentation for fishing estuaries, rivers and inshore reefs.

Slow roll it across the flats or hop it along deeper edges, drains and drop-offs.

Sizes and pack quantities

• 75mm — 6 lures per pack: a smaller profile for lighter presentations.
• 100mm — 6 lures per pack: a larger baitfish profile for deeper water or bigger bait.

Why choose the Striker?

• Active paddle tail: creates movement and vibration as you retrieve.
• Baitfish profile: suits predators feeding on small fish.
• Versatile presentation: fish with a steady wind, gentle hops or a lift-and-pause retrieve.

Target species

• Estuaries and inshore waters: flathead, bream, snapper, mulloway (jewfish) and trevally.
• Coastal baitfish feeders: tailor, Australian salmon and yellowtail kingfish.
• Freshwater and tidal rivers: Australian bass, estuary perch, barramundi and mangrove jack.

Choose your lure size, jig head and retrieve to suit the species, local baitfish and fishing conditions.

How to fish it

Rig straight on a suitable jig head, matching the hook size to the lure and the weight to your depth and current.

• Flats and shallow edges: wind slowly for a steady swimming action.
• Drains and drop-offs: lift the lure, let it sink, then pause before repeating.
• Deeper water: use enough jig head weight to maintain contact with the lure.
