Measuring 90mm, this sinking fishing lure features a segmented body connected by a single layer of Kevlar mesh, allowing the sections to move freely and create a natural swimming motion. Its compact profile makes it particularly suitable for targeting Australian bass, flathead and trout in rivers, estuaries, lakes and impoundments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional single-body soft plastics, the Molix Swim Shad 90 combines flexible body sections with an internal screw system that secures the soft plastic to its harness. This construction provides strength while maintaining the mobility needed to imitate a swimming baitfish. Supplied pre-rigged with a belly treble hook, the Swim Shad 90 is ready for casting and retrieving straight from the packet. Its realistic baitfish finishes, detailed body and natural swimming action make it a versatile option for freshwater and saltwater predators, including barramundi and mangrove jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRealistic Multi-Jointed Body\u003c\/strong\u003e – Segmented body sections create natural swimming movement, helping the lure imitate a small baitfish during steady retrieves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKevlar Mesh Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – A single layer of Kevlar mesh connects the body sections, providing strength while allowing excellent flexibility and mobility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact 90mm Baitfish Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ideal for matching smaller forage fish when targeting bass, flathead, trout and other predators feeding on compact baitfish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Screw and Harness System\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps secure the soft plastic body to the internal harness while maintaining the lure's swimming action.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Rigged Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Supplied with its hook system already fitted, allowing anglers to start fishing without selecting a separate jighead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelly Treble Hook\u003c\/strong\u003e – Provides additional hook points beneath the lure to help secure fish that strike from below or behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Swimming Action\u003c\/strong\u003e – The highly mobile body produces a lifelike presentation on a straight retrieve, reducing the need for aggressive rod movements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRealistic Baitfish Colours\u003c\/strong\u003e – Available in natural and contrasting finishes to suit different water conditions, light levels and local baitfish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Swim Shad 90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-Rigged Jointed Soft Plastic Swimbait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90mm (9cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7g (1\/4oz), as shown in the Molix product chart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuoyancy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Segmented soft plastic body connected by Kevlar mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-secured harness system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-rigged with belly treble hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Species:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australian bass, flathead, trout, barramundi and mangrove jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow rolling, steady retrieves, stop-start retrieves and swimbait fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshwater rivers, lakes, impoundments, estuaries and coastal waterways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours Shown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perch (01), Wakasagi (138), Pearl White (448), Green Herring (649), Gold Herring (689) and Aussie Clear Flash (663)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExpert Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Molix Swim Shad 90 is an excellent option when predators are feeding on smaller baitfish or refusing larger, more aggressive lures. Its segmented construction creates natural swimming movement, so a controlled retrieve is often more effective than constantly twitching the rod tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor Australian bass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast along weed edges, rocky banks, submerged timber and the edges of bait schools. Allow the lure to sink to the desired depth before beginning a slow, steady retrieve. Occasional pauses can help keep the lure in the strike zone when fish are following without committing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor flathead:\u003c\/strong\u003e Work the Swim Shad 90 along sand flats, channel edges and drop-offs. Allow the lure to sink towards the bottom before retrieving slowly with occasional pauses. Keep an eye on your line during the drop, as flathead frequently strike when a lure is sinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor trout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Target lake margins, deeper pools, rocky edges and areas where small baitfish are present. Use a light spinning outfit and retrieve steadily to take advantage of the lure's natural jointed swimming action. In clear water, start with subtle colours and avoid excessive rod movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor barramundi and mangrove jack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast around creek mouths, rock bars, submerged timber and other likely ambush points. The compact 90mm profile can be useful when predators are feeding on smaller baitfish. Remember that the exposed belly treble hook can catch on heavy structure, so maintain control of your retrieve and avoid dragging the lure directly through snags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRod and line selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Match the Swim Shad 90 to a spinning or baitcast outfit capable of comfortably casting its weight. Braid provides good sensitivity and direct lure control, while a suitable fluorocarbon or monofilament leader can provide abrasion resistance around rocks and timber. Select your line and leader strength according to the target species and fishing environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetrieve tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Begin with a slow roll and observe how the segmented body moves through the water. Increase or decrease your retrieve speed until the lure maintains a natural swimming action. Short pauses and gentle changes in speed can imitate a baitfish losing momentum and may encourage following predators to strike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perch, Wakasagi, Green Herring and Gold Herring provide natural baitfish-inspired finishes, while Pearl White and Aussie Clear Flash offer alternative visual presentations. Match your colour choice to the available baitfish, water clarity and prevailing light conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mansfield Hunting \u0026 Fishing","offers":[{"title":"9CM \/ AUSSIE CLEAR FLASH","offer_id":68326921863419,"sku":"8055400157832","price":14.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9CM \/ GOLD HERRING","offer_id":68326921896187,"sku":"8055400157863","price":14.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9CM \/ GREEN HERRING","offer_id":68326919209211,"sku":"8055400157870","price":14.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9CM \/ PERCH","offer_id":68326919241979,"sku":"8055400157849","price":14.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9CM \/ WAKASAGI","offer_id":68326919274747,"sku":"8055400157825","price":14.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2544\/1722\/files\/aussie.webp?v=1792200711","url":"https:\/\/www.mansfieldhuntingandfishing.com.au\/products\/molix-swim-shad-90","provider":"Mansfield Hunting \u0026 Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
