Tasmanian Devil Lures for Trout, Salmon & Freshwater Fishing
Tasmanian Devil lures are one of the most recognised and effective trout lures used across New Zealand and Australia. Designed with a unique hydrodynamic body and internal wire system, they produce a distinctive wobble and darting action that mimics injured baitfish — a key trigger for predatory species.
Anglers commonly use Tasmanian Devils for trolling behind boats in lakes, casting into river pools, or spinning across structure where trout and salmon are feeding. Their versatility and consistent action make them a staple in many tackle boxes.
Why Tasmanian Devil Lures Work So Well
The effectiveness of Tasmanian Devil lures comes from their patented winged design, which creates an irregular swimming motion underwater. This movement:
- Mimics wounded or fleeing baitfish
- Creates strong vibration and flash attraction
- Works at multiple trolling and casting speeds
- Performs well in both clear and murky water
- Triggers reaction bites from predatory fish
Many anglers rely on them specifically for rainbow trout and brown trout in New Zealand lakes, where consistent trolling action is key to success.
Ideal for NZ Trout & Salmon Fishing
Tasmanian Devils are especially popular for:
- Lake trolling for rainbow trout
- Brown trout fishing in rivers and lakes
- Landlocked salmon setups
- Shore casting in deep water
- Boat trolling with multiple depth rigs
Different sizes and weights allow anglers to match depth and water conditions, with lighter models suited to shallow trolling and heavier versions for deeper water columns.
Multiple Sizes, Colours & Rig Options
Available in a wide range of colours and patterns, Tasmanian Devil lures allow anglers to match local baitfish and water clarity conditions. Popular NZ colour patterns include trout imitations, UV finishes, and high-visibility designs for low-light fishing.
They can be rigged with treble hooks, single hooks, or wire-through systems depending on target species and fishing style, making them highly adaptable across different setups.
A Proven Lure for Kiwi Anglers
Tasmanian Devil lures have built a strong reputation among New Zealand anglers for consistent performance and versatility. Whether you're trolling deep alpine lakes or casting from shore, they remain one of the most reliable trout lures available.
