The Superse Ratzilla – Big Bites from a Big Rat 🐀💥
If you’re chasing Murray cod, Australian bass, or even the odd canal mangrove jack, the Superse Ratzilla Topwater Rat is a lure that demands attention. Built to mimic a swimming rat skittering across the surface, this oversized topwater presentation brings explosive strikes from predators that just can’t resist an easy-looking meal.
Why It Works
Profile & Action: The Ratzilla’s jointed body and realistic swimming action throw off plenty of commotion, perfectly imitating a distressed rodent trying to cross open water.
Topwater Attraction: That wake and splash trigger predatory instincts in big cod and bass, drawing them out of cover for those heart-stopping surface hits.
Versatility: While it’s designed for inland freshwater brutes like Murray cod and bass, don’t be surprised if a canal mangrove jack decides to smash it on the surface too.
Where to Fish It
Murray Cod Country: Cast tight against logs, w**d edges, or rocky banks in rivers and impoundments. Prime time is early morning, late afternoon, or through the night.
Australian Bass Haunts: Creeks, dams, and rivers where bass patrol the edges are ideal. Fish it slow and steady for the best results.
Mangrove Jack Shots: In urban canals or estuaries, try working it near pontoons, bridges, and rock walls – anywhere a jack might be waiting to ambush.
Pro Tip 🎣
Fish it slow and steady – let the Ratzilla’s action do the work. Pauses are deadly, often triggering brutal surface strikes when the lure looks like it’s struggling.
