BANTAM JIJIL FLASHBOOST
The Bantam Jijil FlashBoost is a new and exciting jointed finesse stickbait that has been designed to imitate a variety of common baitfish species. The Bantam Jijil has a unique action and can be used with a simple straight “wind and pause” retrieve for a subtle gliding surface profile or activate the Bantam Jijil’s ultra-realistic hinged lure head with gentle twitches of the rod tip and trigger those aggressive surface hits.
Featuring Shimano’s patented FlashBoost technology and Kyorin holographic scale, the Bantam Jijil is deadly on Australia’s iconic surface feeding natives like bass, estuary perch, mangrove jack and even flathead in skinny water.

The Bantam BT Sraptor is an innovative floating glidebait that comes with an adjustable tungsten weight system that allows anglers to fine tune the lure’s buoyancy and fall.

The BT Sraptor can be used with a steady retrieve for a side-to-side gliding action or a more aggressive “twitch and pause” technique to get a reaction bite from shutdown predators.
The Bantam BT Sraptor’s unique triple connection hinge eliminates torsional mechanical movement to produce consistent action and strength, designed for hard-hitting predators like Murray cod, barramundi, mulloway and XL flathead.
