DPF100sf

Flathead & Bream to the iconic Barramundi!

I initially designed this 100mm shallow-diving minnow/crankbait with a specific use in mind — fishing land-based in subtropical, shallow, oyster covered, rocky, and muddy zones. Its floating design and strong action allow for slow, deliberately controlled retrieves. This greatly helps to avoid snags by bumping and floating over potential obstacles, all while maintaining its impressive action.

This setup has proven very successful for targeting a variety of Australian species, ranging from the ever-reliable Flathead & Bream to the iconic Barramundi!

The Classic All-Rounder

The DPF100sf is the classic all-rounder when it comes to fishing lures. While it excels in my specific conditions, its design makes it perfectly suited for a wide array of environments and fishing scenarios. Whether you're exploring estuaries, casting along mangrove edges, or working shallow river or extensive flats systems, this lure adjusts effortlessly to your needs. It's a reliable, versatile companion for anglers seeking performance and flexibility in one compact package.
