How to Fish

This neutrally buoyant lure is an exceptional lure for casting at snags and structure where you want to crank the lure down to a desired depth and hold it in the strike zone either by twitching the lure or using a "rip and stop" type action. With many predatory fish, the strike often occurs when the lure is stopped. When stationary, the lure sits almost horizontal with a slight downward bias at the head. This is perfect for an immediate start as soon as the retrieve is commenced.

Troll this lure at 1 – 6 knots. At slow speeds twitch the rod to get a more erratic action in the lure.

TIP: Use this lure for exciting sight fishing using a "twitch and stop" retrieve near the surface. Note! Many fish find this fascinating as the lure stops and suspends at mid water. Upon twitching the lure again, the aggression exhibited by most fish is something to behold. This style of sight fishing is a fantastic way of gaining a better understanding of a fishes reaction to a lure when the lure cannot be seen, such as fishing deeper or darker water.

TILSAN

World Class Timber Fishing Lures

Since the small beginning in 1990, Tilsan lures has grown to become Australia's largest and most respected Timber Lure Company.

The first Tilsan - the 5.5 cm trout lure was the lure that started Tilsan on the road to success. In the process of expanding the range to suit other fishing applications, possibly the most significant advance in timber lure design and manufacture was created - The Centerline Design^TM.  Centerline design has meant a new era in the strength, balance, weighting and overall integrity of timber lures.

Buoyancy compensation holes, fixed angle bib alignment and the strength of a full stainless steel body make the construction system unique. Tilsan Timber Lures are precision made using specially selected timbers to ensure correct weight and buoyancy. Tilsan is the company totally committed to timber lures and is continuing to develop new lures to target species around the globe. We are a company on the move.  We have recently added a new holographic background effect on several of our lures and that’s only the beginning.

Tilsan has a reputation for producing the highest quality lures. The reputation is hard earned and well deserved. We are committed to build on this reputation to ensure Tilsan remains a leader and innovator in Timber fishing lures.
