Swimming Action & Fishing Techniques

Wide Tail Action. Natural Sink. Maximum Attraction.

The Atomic Real Baitz Bully Mullet is designed to deliver an enticing baitfish imitation throughout the entire retrieve.

Its wide, pulsing tail generates a strong swimming action, while the rolling body movement creates a realistic side-to-side presentation. On the drop, its precision-balanced internal weighting allows the lure to sink horizontally with a subtle nose-down angle, imitating an injured or struggling baitfish.

This combination makes it particularly effective when predators are holding around structures, drop-offs and weed beds, waiting to ambush passing mullet.

Pro Tips for Better Results

• Tip 1 – Slow-Roll Retrieve: Recommend a slow, steady retrieve around drop-offs, weed beds and underwater structures where predatory fish commonly ambush mullet. Allow the wide tail action to do the work.
• Tip 2 – Fish the Drop: Incorporate occasional pauses and controlled drops into the retrieve. The natural horizontal sinking posture creates an enticing presentation that can trigger reaction strikes as the lure descends.
• Tip 3 – Maintain Your Gear: After saltwater use, rinse the lure and pre-rigged Gamakatsu hook thoroughly with fresh water. Dry before storage to help preserve hook sharpness and minimise corrosion.
