Summer Essentials Designs

BITE CLUB

This design is inspired by the shark infested waters of Western Australia. Where every so often while targeting other fish like barramundi or mangrove jack, a big shark comes along to join to club.
Hammer head sharks can grow up to 6m in length and up to 580kg. Most, if not all, hammerhead shark species are threatened with extinction.
The largest Great white shark ever recorded was 5.83 m (19.1 ft) in length and around 2,000 kg (4,410 lb) in weight at maturity. They are estimate to live up to 70 years or more.

 

THE CODFATHER

This design is inspired by our time spent fishing in Yarrawonga (Victoria) and Mulwala (New South Wales) for the Godfather of all Cod. The Murray Cod. These monsters are the largest exclusively freshwater fish in Australia and one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. They can grow to well over a meter long. The largest ever record was 1.8m long and 113kg (249lbs). They are local to the Murray-Darling basin and get their name from the Murray River, the largest and most important river in Australia.

 

FISH PUFF PASS...

Our Fish Puff Pass design is inspired by exactly what it says. The team have spent countless hours down by Oceans, rivers, estuaries, lakes and many more insane fishing locations simply: Fishing, Puffing and Passing. Most of, if not all of the inspiration for our steezy designs has come from these notorious rotations.

 

BOX OF WORMS...

Inspired by our use of worms as bait while fishing for Perch and Murray Cod along the Murray River near Yarrawonga and Mulwala in Australia.
Box of worms quickly evolved into fishing slang and then everyday slang. Being used to describe any bait situation as 'box of worms'

STINK UP THE SWIM… 

This design is inspired by using burley at your fishing spec to get it nice and stinky to bring in the fish. Just like a good DJ plays some stinky tunes to draw in the crowd.
The Blue ring octopus in this design has enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes. They are found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, typically in shallow waters with rocky or coral reefs.

 

PUFF PASTRY... 

This design is inspired by the multiple puffer fish we’ve caught while trying to catch bait fish, as well as our love of edibles. 
Almost all species of Puffer fish contain a neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin that can be 1200 times stronger than cyanide. When they inflate, the toxin is released on their skin. This neurotoxin damages the nervous system, paralysis occurs and the lungs and heart fail, the animal or person dies within minutes. 
One Puffer fish contains enough toxins in its liver to kill 30 human adults. For this reason, Puffer fish are considered one of the most poisonous creatures in the world. 
In Japan, Puffer fish is a delicacy called fugu. Only chefs who have trained for three years or more can prepare it. Between 1996 and 2006, 44 fugu poisoning incidents were recorded in Japan. 
Dolphins have even seen getting high by playing with pufferfish. In small enough doses the toxin seems to induce "a trance-like state" in dolphins.
