    The Smuggler is a water blooping, rattling, walker with an incredible life-like swimming bird action. Fitted with a long trailing tail to simulate tail feathers, a matching head feather and colours to imitate the most common birds that big fish feed on. As The Smuggler walks, the wings will splash and make a very noticeable blooping noise while the wide body action will attract the attention of any nearby fish. Matched with Ultra strong BKK hooks and an extremely robust body, The Smuggler is ready for battle.

    SMUGGLER IN ACTION

    Surface Panic Personified

    The Smuggler is engineered for a loud, splashing crawling action that creates massive surface commotion to draw predators from the depths. This "distressed" movement is designed to mimic a vulnerable creature struggling on the surface, triggering the high-quality organic strikes that dominated our top-performing content last year.

    Feathers and Fright

    We’ve taken realism to the next level with an incredible bird imitation, complete with lifelike feathers that ripple and move even when the lure is paused. This commitment to "realistic action and shape" is a proven formula for triggering ambush bites from trophy fish that have grown wary of standard lures.

    Built Tough to Land the Hit

    Don't let the feathers fool you, this lure is built to handle the big hits and brutal structure of Australia’s toughest fishing spots. Armed with heavy-duty hardware and a reinforced body, it’s purpose-built to ensure you land the hit and win the fight against the most aggressive surface-feeders.

    Great bait-needs bigger hooks

    The smuggler is a fantastic bait. Its action and sound on the water has created a lot of bites for me. The only downside is hook size. The hooks it comes with are to small. I missed every fish before I changed them out. Highly suggest changing the hook size on this lure to increase hook-ups.

    Great lure action and easy to cast but wings are weak

    Lure swims amazing and had 2 smoking hits on it which was awesome but about 50 casts in the screw holding the wing in must’ve undone itself and the wing flew off and I lost it. If there was some more structure holding in the wings it would be a 5 star lure. Bought 3 and only used one so far will update when I use the other ones hopefully they last longer.

    Not as good as I thought

    Casting at night at the local river and the wing came loose after 10 casts. One big hit and the wings bent right around so I had to use my pliers to bend them back. Still has great action though.

    Budgie lost a wing!

    Received this lure as a gift from my best mate for Xmas and unfortunately after a few casts , one of his metal wings fell off,
    I had to stop using this lure and put it on my shelf as it doesn’t retrieve very well now and I am afraid I’ll lose it all together!

    Great lure, fun to use, shame it’s not a bit more durable!
    I would buy another but at 30ish dollars I will have to wait.

    Ehhh

    Love the bait, as ive purchased several, but you would think to replace the cheap wings. Plenty of crawler baits with sturdy wings out there. Get a pen n pad chase baits

    Terrible

    On the second cast with the bird the left wing came off I was casting into open water so there should have been no reason for it to break off. Biggest waste of money

    The Smuggler

    The smuggler is a very interesting lure. It has odd but mesmerising movements that though they havent yet will eventually catch a fish. I only gave it 4 stars as it fouls very often and the features are quite breakable. Overall it is a good lure and im glad to have it.

    Awesome bait

    I’ll be honest, I have no intention of using this bait for fishing. I collect lures and I had to have a couple of these

    Great top water lure for Cod

    We have the Smuggler in the Sparrow, Budgie and White Cockatoo all of which have been very successful with Cod - they love them! Almost time to retire the White Cockatoo as he has been chomped so much.

    Looking forward to using the Smuggler lures.

    Waiting for our weather to warm up so we can start our Spring fishing season. Anxious to throw the Smuggler for our top water action. Will give you an update once we start. I will say Chase Baits has been fantastic with their ordering process. They have been very quick and efficient in getting my order out. Especially, since it's coming from Australia.

    Fantastic Topwater Lure

    The Smuggler is one of if not my favorite topwater lure to throw when conditions are right. The action on it is second to none - the "ploop ploop ploop" it makes is irresistible to hungry bass. I've traditionally used the Sparrow color in the smaller 2.5" size, but just got a 3.5" in the Budgie color after the restock so I'm excited to see how that one does.

    The only reason I went with 4 instead of 5 stars is that your line tends to get caught on the bird's feet and treble hooks a decent amount which ruins the flapping action, and the paint on the front-facing side of its wings flakes off after a while.

    Out of stock

    It’s nice that you have the 20% off of the 90 mm smugglers but they’re out of stock. I ordered five of these before Christmas and then try to order five more can’t get them. Are you gonna run the 20% discount when they’re back in stock other than that, this is a very nice bait to make them they catch they catch big fish I give you 100% rating when they are in stock

    The Smuggler

    Had to wait 3 months for mine as I am in South Africa and family that visited had to bring it back for me, shipping would have been a deal killer.
    The Smuggler was packaged very well, and the people I have showed the bait is very impressed with the quality. Managed to catch one bass on it, will be more productiveater in the season as our winter was a bit longer so spawning was slow. Once the fish are all of beds and ready to feed I will definitely be ready with the Smuggler. Watch this space. Thanks again for the epic bait and good service.

    Budge smuggler

    I love the sound that it makes and that I can cast it a good distance in my kayak. The only problem is that nothing want's to bite it yet, now wishing they had a smaller one then the 65.
