Rapala and Storm are Diamond Sponsors of the 2018 Gold Coast Flathead Classic.

We are delighted that Rapala and Storm are Diamond Sponsors of the 2018 Gold Coast Flathead Classic.

With a number of fantastic products on display this year, see below for some stand out contenders for your next tackle bag purchases.

STORM 360 GT COASTAL TRICK TAIL
Flathead fishermen will love how the new Storm® 360 GT Coastal Trick Tail (Soft jerk bait) works the water. Its fleeing baitfish action, and its ability to change direction is extraordinary.

Stop the retrieve, and rather than slacking off, the Trick Tail rocks back and forth like a stressed baitfish while the webbed tail continues to pump on the fall; simply pinch out the webbing to switch to a more traditional wiggle effect. Flick the rod tip and hop the bait back for an erratic wounded minnow presentation that flathead simply can’t resist.

The slotted back and belly makes for easy and balanced rigging. Being available in 8 fish-catching colours, and 5 inches in length, you will see many flathead landed at this year’s classic on the new Storm 360 GT Coastal trick Tail.

Rapala Shadow Rap Jack Deep 5

Rapala VMC Australia launches the new Shadow Rap Jack Deep 5 to the ever-popular Shadow Rap family.

Jack Deep is a 5cm lure weighing in at 6 grams. Consisting of a full through wire construction and sharp VMC hooks will see this lure land bigger fish than Jack was originally designed for. Stay in the zone for longer with its slow rising, deep diving action. This bite-size lure is a versatile option for many species, from trolling for flathead to casting at bream, trout, sooty grunter and mangrove jacks.

Jack Deep dives to 3 meters on a standard cast and retrieve, so for flathead trolling simply run a light leader up to 10Lb and who knows how deep Jack will go.
