Squidgies
Squidgies has been a household name in Australian soft plastics since the early 2000s, and for good reason. Developed by Shimano Australia, Squidgies are purpose-designed for the species and conditions found in Australian waters. From estuary flathead and bream to reef-dwelling snapper and offshore pelagics, there's a Squidgy profile that'll get the bite when nothing else will.

What species can I catch on Squidgies soft plastics?
Squidgies are incredibly versatile and effective on a wide range of Australian species including flathead, bream, whiting, snapper, tailor, King George whiting, and more. The Reef Wriggler is particularly popular for larger reef species.
Are Squidgies made by Shimano?
Yes, Squidgies are developed and distributed by Shimano Fishing Australia. They're designed specifically for Australian conditions and species, with ongoing innovation in profiles, materials, and scent technology.
What is the difference between Squidgies Wriggler and Slick Rig?
The Wriggler features a curly tail that creates vibration and movement on the fall and retrieve, ideal for attracting attention. The Slick Rig has a paddle-tail design that produces a subtle, natural swimming action — perfect for finicky fish in clear water.
What is Squidgies Bio Tough?
Bio Tough is Squidgies' enhanced durability formula that makes the soft plastics significantly tougher and longer-lasting while maintaining the scent and action that makes Squidgies so effective. You'll get more fish per plastic.
