The Backwater Beast is a spinnerbait designed for low visibility conditions, particularly rising rivers and stained water. Producing a steady blade pulse and strong vibration, it allows fish to locate the lure even when they cannot see it clearly.
This is a vibration lure — fish feel it before they see it.
After rain or in discoloured water, fish rely less on sight and more on their lateral line to detect movement.
The Backwater Beast targets those fish.
Its pulsing blade creates consistent vibration that travels through the water, allowing predators to track and strike confidently. Rather than visual attraction alone, the lure draws reaction bites by presence and movement.
Work it along:
• windblown banks
• snag lines
• submerged timber
• flooded edges
• laydowns
• stained river margins
Running the lure close to cover keeps it in the feeding zone where fish position during rising water.
The Backwater Beast is designed for a slow, steady retrieve.
How to fish it:
Cast along banks or structure
Retrieve slowly
Keep the blade pulsing consistently
Allow the lure to run close to snags and cover
Strikes commonly occur:
• beside cover
• when passing structure
• during steady retrieve
Avoid fast retrieves — a slow pulse produces the bite.
Retrieve slowly so the blade pulses steadily. Fish the lure close to snags and windblown banks where predators wait in stained water.
Fish often locate the lure by vibration rather than sight.
Often most effective after rain.
Recommended Leader: 12–20 lb fluorocarbon
Type: Spinnerbait
Designed For: Rising rivers and stained water
Best Conditions: Low visibility conditions
Target Species: Australian Bass, Murray Cod, Yellowbelly (Golden Perch)
Please note: Colours may vary slightly between lures.
