Tackle House - Contact Feed Shallow 128
About this lure
A proven shallow-running minnow with long-casting performance and a natural, high-flash action.
At 128mm and 18.5g, the Feed Shallow 128 is the original model in the series—trusted for nearly two decades for its consistent results and realistic swimming. It runs at 5–40cm depth, making it perfect for shallow reef edges, estuaries, surf zones, and river mouths. The horizontal posture and head roll action produce subtle movement, while the flat sides deliver strong flash to draw attention without spooking fish.
Equipped with the K-TEN magnetic tungsten system, this lure casts exceptionally well for its size, maintaining accuracy even in onshore winds.
