We look forward to welcoming a team from Mallacoota Flatty Classic in 2027!

WELL… THIS ESCALATED.

We’ve been sitting on this one for a while… and it’s finally time to let it out.

We’ve teamed up with the biggest Flathead competition in the country — the Gold Coast Flathead Classic. 🤝

And we’re giving our 2026 Champion Team the opportunity to represent the Mallacoota Flatty Classic on the biggest stage in Australian flathead fishing… the ! 🏆

For a little perspective… this thing is an absolute monster. 750+ anglers, over $500,000 in prizes, and more than three decades of Flatty madness on the Broadwater.

So we’re loading up the prize with event entry, accommodation, fuel, spending cash and plenty more to get our Champions north and amongst it.

Win Mallacoota. Pack your bags. You’re going to the Gold Coast. 🌴

What could possibly go wrong…

And who knows… the Gold Coast might just send a team down our way next year. 😉

Full details coming to competitors in an email blast next week! For more keep an eye on our socials Mallacoota Flatty Classic

Fresh out of the packet and ready to go 💥

The Rattle Minnow's internal rattle chamber calls fish in when the water's dirty or the light's low, and the oversized paddle tail keeps rolling up to 180 degrees the second it hits the water.

Whether you're working the shallows for flathead or throwing at structure for jacks and barra, this is the one you want rigged up before the first cast of the session.

Packet open, rod ready, game on.

Head to the website or visit your nearest stockist and grab a pack before your next session.
