The MW 62 and the MW 72 are the babies of our MW range of ECOGEAR premium hard baits. This jerk-bait style lure dives to 1m and works well for a variety of species that willingly feed in the top of the water collum. Like all ECOGEAR lures, the MW range is painted to the highest quality and uses the best quality components available for all tough saltwater conditions.
Target Fish
Fish that feed towards the top of the water column or in very shallow water - Mangrove Jacks, barramundi, bream, flathead, estuary cod, rainbow and brown trout, tailor, travely, snapper, zander etc.
Target Areas
Sandy / weedy flats, snaggy country, excellent for down rigging, best fished in the top 1m of water column, very shallow water or surface feeding fish. Excellent for working around rocky / reefy areas in shallow water.
Swimming Action
Slow floating, very direct tight 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, then work the lure past the structure with a slow twitchy rod tip action for best results.
3. Retrieve Technique Flats
Long repetitive casts, working the lure across the shallows, targeting gaps in the weed or subtle depth changes on 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.
3. Retrieve Technique Dams & Lakes
Try down-rigging to the required depths for excellent results on rainbow and brown trout.
Recommended Outfit
Spinning outfits between 6 to 12lb
2000 to 3000 size reel
