225mm/140gram 'SLIMY MACKEREL' HAKU STICK BAIT -

‘SLIMY MACKEREL’ 225MM / 140G

OOSH HAKU Stick Bait

The Slimy Mackerel is one of the most universally recognised baitfish in offshore systems — and one of the most heavily targeted.

This colourway doesn’t try to reinterpret it.
It simply gets it right.

Built on the proven HAKU timber platform and finished with a clean, ultra-realistic slimy mackerel pattern, this lure presents a natural surface profile that predators instantly register as food — not a lure.

No exaggeration.
No visual noise.
Just accuracy.

Design philosophy

When fish are feeding confidently on slimy mackerel, they aren’t analysing shapes or colours — they’re reacting.

The role of the Slimy Mackerel HAKU is simple:

• Match what predators already expect to see
• Remove hesitation
• Let instinct take over

This is a lure that earns bites by belonging, not standing out.

Action & application

Like all HAKU stick baits, the Slimy Mackerel is designed for a controlled, consistent retrieve rather than aggressive popper-style sweeps.

It responds exceptionally well to:

• Short rips
• Subtle rod input
• Surface and sub-surface ‘walk the dog’ style retrieves

A softer, continuous approach allows the lure to sit high in the surface film or track just below it, producing natural movement and surface disturbance without blowing out of the water.

Ideal for pressured fish, clear water, and situations where realism matters more than noise.
