EVOLVED, REBORN & READY TO DOMINATE!
Australia’s most iconic soft plastic fishing lures are making a powerful comeback! Shimano is shaking up the Squidgies lineup with four game-changing tail designs, including two fresh creations and two legendary classics re-engineered for today’s anglers.
Squidgies have been a staple of Aussie fishing since their launch at the start of the millennium—so much so that the name itself has become synonymous with soft plastics. Now, Shimano is taking Squidgies into the future with exciting innovation, cutting-edge materials, and proven fish-catching action.
Leading the charge is the Glimma 90mm, a sleek baitfish profile featuring shimmering, translucent fibres designed to tempt even the wariest predators. Perfect for finesse fishing in pressured waters, the Squidgies Glimma is primed to land bream, flathead, snapper, and more.
Then there’s the Squidgies Grub 80mm, an evolution of the much-loved curly-tailed grub, now enhanced with a pulsing tail action that mimics the leg beats of a prawn or the flutter of an injured baitfish—irresistible in both salt and freshwater!
Back by popular demand, two Squidgies legends return:
The Squidgies Bug 70mm, a fan-favourite that anglers have been begging for. With its meaty prawn-like body and lifelike tail action, it’s more lethal than ever—whether twitched on topwater or bombed deep.
The Squidgies Lobby 90mm, the ultimate crustacean imitation, redesigned for a bigger presence and enhanced action. Crawling through tough terrain or fished on a jig head, it’s bound to trigger brutal strikes.
Shimano’s revamp isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about bringing Squidgies into the future. With modern materials, evolved design, and unmatched versatility, these lures are ready to dominate every waterway, from the salt flats to the inland rivers.
Squidgies co-creator and fishing legend Steve ‘Starlo’ Starling couldn’t be more excited: “Shimano has listened to the anglers, and the result is something truly special. These new Squidgies aren’t just a return to greatness; they’re next-level fishing weapons!”
The next generation of Squidgies has arrived. Get ready to rig up and hang on.
