DOUBLE CLUTCH 75SR on bread and prawn baits fished under small corks. Next month should hopefully see the water cool a little and some consistency return, fingers crossed.

OT jig is superb, just what you’d expect of a premium deep-water or slow pitch jig. Perfectly matched to welcomes a new shallowrunning model with the release of the 75SR. The first true shallow-diving Double Clutch features the same great action of the original models, but now allows you to hit the shallows that were previously out of reach with the original Double Clutch 75SP.

The 75SR has been designed specifically for Australia, and will dive to a maximum depth of 3ft, making it perfect for attacking the shallows chasing estuarine species such as flathead and bream, or the shallow freshwater chasing iconic species such as bass and trout.

Daiwa’s unique and patented S-GOS system is present, just like the other models in the DC range, and makes the darting action of the 75SR un-matched.

You can fish the Double Clutch 75SR anywhere you need a lure working erratically over shallow cover. Sand flats, weed beds, and shallow laydowns are all tailor-made for a jerkbait and the new Double Clutch 75SR. It suspends in freshwater and very slowly floats in saltwater, make it perfect for a twitch and pause retrieve.

The 75SR is fitted with quality hooks and rings and is available in a host of Australian designed colour patterns.
