The MW 105 and the MW 125 are the larger of the jerk-bait style lures that ECOGEAR has in its premium hard bait range. This lure was designed for fishing around snaggy country in the rivers and creeks. The MW can be used in many different situations like creeks and rivers, open flats and reefy areas. This lure dives to about 1m and like all ECOGEAR lures, the MW range have been developed for the ‘cast and retrieve’ anglers with the highest quality components for tough conditions.
Target Fish
Fish that live or feed in or towards the top of the water collum. Fish like barramundi, mangrove jacks, salmon, estuary cod, travely and when fishing reefy areas fish like cod, corral trout and sweetlips.
Swimming Action
Slow floating, very direct wobble
Retrieve Technique
1. Retrieve Technique for Rocky & Reef Areas
Much like fishing shallow flats, but reefy areas are best fished after dark and with very slow retrieves. Try occasionally banging the lure hard into the bottom with a faster erratic retrieve to entice fish into striking.
2. Retrieve Technique for Snag Structures
Cast the MW as close as possible to the structure as possible, work the lure past the structure with a slow twitchy rod tip action for best results. Don’t be afraid to cast the lure past the structure and work it parallel to the snags.
3. Retrieve Technique Flats
Long repetitive casts, working the lure across the shallows, targeting gaps in the weed or subtle depth changes in the bottom. Slow constant retrieves with the occasional pause to allow the lure to rise to the surface works well. Erratic downward tip movements of the rod with constant pauses works.
Recommended Outfit
Bait casting combos.
Colour Choice
As a general rule, use natural baitfish colours on fine days and in clear water, and bright colours on overcast days and in muddy waters.
