Jerkfly - Dragon Tail Series

Welcome to the ultimate evolution of hybrid technical lures, purpose-built for the dedicated cod hunter. Developed in close collaboration with elite tournament angler Dean Silvester, the Jerkfly Dragon Tail Series is engineered for one specific mission: cracking the code on heavily pressured, hard-to-tempt Murray Cod.

Whether you are hunting giant fish on live sonar or methodically dissecting timber-choked river systems, this series takes our proven body shapes and supercharges them with the absolute pinnacle of synthetic material innovation—the authentic Magnum Dragon Tail.

The Live Sonar & River Advantage: Continuous Fluid Motion
Traditional molded rubber tails require forward momentum to move, meaning they switch off the moment you stop reeling. The Dragon Tail Series utilises a plush, poly-based synthetic fabric tail that behaves entirely differently, giving river and electronics anglers a massive tactical edge:

Breathes on the Pause: This tapered fabric tail undulates, swirls, and dances with the slightest water current. When a giant Murray Cod tracks the lure on live sonar, you can stall the bait directly in its face. The tail will continue to breathe and lifelike-ly unfurl dead still in the strike zone, turning curious followers into aggressive biters.

Massive Silhouette, Minimal Weight: By pairing our hydro-efficient 15cm resin head and 25cm body profile with this lightweight fabric tail, you get an immense, high-appeal trophy profile. It provides the big-bait presence river Cod demand, without the crushing weight of a giant moulded swimbait.

Dynamic Twitching Action: When wet, the material holds just enough water to add strategic weight to the rear of the lure, kicking the back end out for a wider, more erratic side-to-side darting action when you twitch it past a vertical snag.

Engineered for the Brutality of Big Cod
A strike from a metre-plus Murray Cod in flowing water or deep timber is violent. The Dragon Tail Series is built from the ground up to survive the collision:

Premium Hook Configuration: Armed with razor-sharp, heavy-gauge 2/0 trebles and a robust Mustad 8/0 hook. This hybrid setup ensures maximum penetration and immense holding power in rock-hard jaws.

All-Day Castability: Because the fabric tail is incredibly light in the air compared to heavy moulded rubber, this series drastically reduces angler fatigue. You can cast this massive presentation into tight river structure all day on standard heavy cod gear without wearing yourself out.

Foul-Resistant Track: Built with precise clearance to ensure the flowing fabric tail tracks perfectly behind the chassis, preventing it from wrapping around your trebles during hard, technical casts into the wind.

Change the Frequency on Pressure-Schooled Cod
When heavily surveyed river fish or textbook sonar targets are turning away from standard hard baits and soft plastics, it’s time to change the texture and the action. The Jerkfly Dragon Tail Series gives you the perfect blend of a massive silhouette, micro-pulsing bristles, and a flowing, breathing fabric tail that stubborn Murray Cod have never seen before.
