The Catch Freestyle Kabura is an innovative lure designed for fussy snapper. When fishing conditions are challenging and the bite slows down, this lure is an excellent choice. Developed with advanced Japanese technology and extensively tested in New Zealand waters, this 60gm sliding lure is a proven "snapper magnet" that effectively triggers strikes even from lethargic fish.

Unlike traditional fixed jig heads, the Freestyle features a free-sliding head that moves up the leader away from the hooks once a fish is hooked. This intelligent design eliminates the leverage a fish can use to shake the hook, significantly increasing your land rate.

Why Choose the Catch Freestyle?

• The "No Leverage" Sliding System: Because the heavy lead head is not fixed to the hook, when a snapper shakes its head, it is not shaking the weight of the lure. The head slides up the line, leaving the fish fighting only the small hooks. This drastically reduces the chance of pulling the hook.
• "Do Nothing" Action: You do not need to be a jigging professional to use this lure effectively. The hydrodynamic head design creates a seductive wobble on both the drop and the retrieve. Simply drop it to the bottom, wind it up slowly (mechanical jigging is not required), and wait for the rod to load up.
• UV & Glow Technology: New Zealand snapper are highly attracted to UV. Catch utilises high-quality, vibrant paints with strong UV and Glow properties, ensuring these lures stand out in deep or murky water where snapper hunt.
• High-Quality Components: Rigged with strong Japanese Owner® Hooks and heavy-duty assist cord. These small but incredibly sharp hooks are engineered to securely snag the corner of the fish's mouth.

Pro Tip: How to Fish It

• Drop the Kabura to the sea floor.
• Once it hits the bottom, take one slow wind of the handle, then pause.
• Slowly wind it up 5-10 metres off the bottom.
• Drop it back down.
• Crucial: When you feel bites (nibbles), do not strike! Continue to wind slowly until the rod fully loads up with the weight of the fish. Striking too early pulls the lure away from the fish.
