Meredith BQE01 Weighted Soft Swimbait – 120mm & 150mm | 3D Eyes T-Tail Lure

Meredith BQE01 Weighted Soft Swimbait – 120mm & 150mm

The Meredith BQE01 is a large, heavyweight weighted soft swimbait built for anglers chasing big predatory fish in both freshwater and saltwater. Moulded from soft PVC over a weighted internal body, the BQE01 achieves the realistic profile and natural swimming motion of a baitfish without any rigging required — the hook is built in and ready to fish straight out of the pack. At 120mm/38.5g and 150mm/65.8g, this lure sits firmly in the big bait category: sized and weighted for barramundi, Murray cod, large bass, and mulloway, where a smaller lure simply won’t trigger the aggressive, committed strikes these species are capable of. Available in 8 colour variants across both sizes.

• Built-in hook — pre-rigged internal hook means zero setup time; the hook is positioned for correct bait alignment and optimal hook-up geometry straight from the packet, and the soft PVC body collapses on the strike to expose the point cleanly
• 3D realistic fish eyes — large, detailed 3D eyes create a highly lifelike appearance that triggers a predatory response from sight-hunting species; at close range, the eye detail adds the finishing touch to a presentation that reads as real bait to even wary fish
• Swinging T-tail — wide, flexible T-shaped tail generates a pronounced side-to-side kick and thumping action on retrieve; produces significant water displacement and low-frequency vibration that predators can detect through their lateral line at distance, drawing fish to the lure before they can even see it
• Exaggerated side-to-side sway — the full body rolls and sways through a natural baitfish arc on retrieve; the amplitude of movement is calibrated to attract cautious, neutral-mood predators that ignore tight-action lures, while still triggering reaction strikes from aggressive fish
• Exaggerated fin details — moulded dorsal, pectoral, and tail fin detail adds visual realism and contributes to hydrodynamic action, helping the lure track straight and maintain consistent swimming posture through the retrieve
• Weighted PVC body — internal weight ballast in the belly of the lure creates a natural nose-down fall posture on the pause; the weighted body also enables longer casting distance on both spinning and baitcast outfits, critical when covering large impoundments or wide estuary flats
• Soft yet strong construction — the PVC body is soft enough to collapse on hooksets and flex naturally through the swim action, while being durable enough to survive repeated strikes, fish, and gill-plate contact without splitting or tearing at the hook exit point

Specifications

• 120mm – 38.5g: Heavy swimbait for large freshwater impoundments and estuaries; suits 2500–4000 spinning or baitcast outfits targeting bass, barra, and mulloway in 1–5m depth
• 150mm – 65.8g: XL presentation for big-water barramundi, Murray cod, and large mulloway; suits 4000–6000 spinning or baitcast outfits in open water, deep channels, and heavy structure

Recommended Applications

• Barramundi — slow roll the 120mm through snag lines and timber edges at dawn and dusk; pause over structure and let the T-tail flutter on the drop
• Murray Cod — fish the 150mm tight to rock walls, undercut banks, and submerged timber on a slow lift-drop or straight retrieve with pauses
• Mulloway — work the 150mm through deep estuary channels and bridge pylons on an irregular retrieve with extended pauses during run-out tide
• Large Bass — fan-cast the 120mm around impoundment timber on a slow rolling retrieve; let the lure sink to depth on the drop between retrieves
