Bream are notoriously finicky fish to catch, if you can crack the code on the day it can be the difference to catching a big bag and catching zip. Tournament anglers trialing the Trance on Bream have been extremely impressed with how well the LED light has worked. Both anglers tested the Trance with their mate using their favourite lures, with both mates been comprehensively out fished with LED technology compared to the hardbodies without this technology. The LED light is most effective in dirty water, low light conditions such as overcast days and dawn/dusk, plus also after dark.

There are a number of Balista lures that are ideal for targeting big Golden Perch. Lipless crankbaits such as the Juggernaut 65 are a great way to target Golden Perch in impoundments like Copeton, Lake Eildon, Windamere etc, cast the Juggernaut 65 and allow it to sink into the strike zone this lure is balanced perfectly for Golden's and with the addition of the LED it is a very unique lure for this scenario. If you prefer to troll the Smoke 65 and Trigger are spot on, the Smoke 65 is a 4 metre diver great for trolling rocky banks, the Trigger is a more shallow 2 metre diver excellent for grassy banks. The other lure that works well for Golden's is the Trance, especially in impoundments such as Lake Eildon and Lake Hume where there is Trout in the lake as well the Trance keeps you in the game for both big Golden's and big Trout.

There are two Balista models that work well on Trout, the 50mm Trance is an absolute must have for trout fisherman, its a great size for catching numbers of Trout either in rivers or lakes. The Trigger is 75mm and is best suited for lake trolling for big Trout. Either way the LED is highly effective on Trout and more than handy having something completely different for those tough bites.

The LED works particularly well on angry fish like Mangrove Jack, the flashing light drives them nuts. Targeting Jacks in Southern Queensland you'll find yourself fishing deeper than what you would in North Queensland for Jacks. In deeper water the Smoke 65 is an absolute belter, its 65mm in length and crash dives to 4 metres working through structure brilliantly is essential to getting the lure into more Jack haunts without getting snagged. In more shallow waters the 75mm Trigger is best suited, it dives to 2 metres on shallower snags it is ideal. The S-pop is an 80mm surface popper, its a great size for Jacks and comes fitted with 3X BKK trebles to hook and hold more fish.

Our LED technology works particularly well on Flathead because they are always on the hunt for prey, if you can increase the visibility of your lure by 300% it makes your lure that much easier to locate for Flathead to strike. Depending on which depth you're fishing there are 3 Balista models that are brilliantly for Flatty's - the 50mm/2 metre diving Trance, 75mm/2 metre diver Trigger and 65mm/4 metre diving Smoke 65.

A popular table fish as well as a brilliant sportsfish. Both sizes in the Juggernaut's are great for targeting big Snapper especially as the deeper the lure gets the brighter and more effective the LED is. The Juggernaut 65 can be used effectively on Snapper in up to 8 metres of water, the Juggernaut 90 can be used in 12+ metres of water.

The colour red is a big attractant for Red Fin, so its no surprise our flashing red LED is dynamite on big reddies. If you're casting creeks and channels the 50mm Trance is spot on for the job, especially in dirty water. If you're trolling or casting deeper areas the Smoke 65 is dynamite, the Smoke 65 is one of deepest diving lures in its 65mm class, this lure has account for some monster Red Fin. The Juggernaut 65 lipless crankbait is another good lure for casting and allowing to sink into the strike zone.

Growing in excess of 1.2 metres threadies can successfully targeted with diving lures, deep water jigging and more. Known for having poor eye sight, the LED has been proven to significantly boost catch rates on Threadfin Salmon by legendary Hinchinbrook charter Ryan Moody. The Juggernaut 90 is his number 1 jigging lure for big Threadies, in his words the Juggernaut 90 significantly out-fishes plastics, he puts it down to the LED increasing visibility of the lure and triggering them to strike.
