The Monthly Catch - Episode 2 © Berkley Fishing

While we all share a love for fishing, we also understand that it takes skill, knowledge and the right lures to successfully catch fish. That's where we come in.

Let team Berkley assist you in Catching More Fish with our expert advice, top-notch tactics, and the latest trends or techniques.

Snapper jig head selection and rigging

Whilst many factors come into play for a successful session on the water, one of the first steps we take is selecting the correct jig head and rigging our bait to swim its best. Most snapper will eat a lure on the drop and a slow sinking, natural presentation will more often than not get the bite. Hear from Russell Babekuhl as he explains how to select a jig head depending on the water depth you're fishing, resulting in maximising your chances of catching more fish!

Flathead tactics

Get a head start as Guesty explains everything you need to know to catch flathead on lures in your local estuary! Whether you're fishing deep or shallow water, Guesty explains which lure to choose and why.

Easy lure modification

Berkley's Nitro Pro Nail Weights are a must have accessory for any soft plastic angler looking to increase the weight of their presentation without changing jig head size or swapping to a heavier lure. Hear from Russell Babekuhl as he explains how he likes to utilise the new Pro Nail Weights to better his fishing experience and ultimately catch more fish!
