Squidgy Boof Frog :
30/06/08: -The Squidgy Boof Frog is the latest addition to the Squidgy Pro Range. Surface fishing is always fun but having a meter plus Barra smash your surface plastic is a sight to behold, and the Squidgy Boof Frog will have you fishing the toughest, weediest, fish filled terrain, snag free and with ease. .................

Squidgie's Super Slick Rigs:
04/10/07: - Few soft plastics have helped anglers make the transition from bait to lure fishing as easy as the Squidgy Slick Rig range. These internally weighted lures come ready to fish straight from the packet, but the most significant feature about them is that the jig heads are completely re-useable................. [More]

Bushy's Stiffy Minnow:
04/05/07: - You've got to hand it to the Bushman, he's not one to sit on his hands when it comes to fishing, and lure fishing in particular.

The moustachioed one has been busy in the back shed again, working away on yet another lure design, and the result is the Stiffy Minnow. Designed for the Bream market, this 60 millimetre long mid-depth plug comes in eight colours, is equipped with top-notch size ten Owner hooks and split rings, a welded wire frame (not just screw-in eyelets), and already has a number of Bream tournament wins to its credit.............

Bushy's Stiffy Wins Best New Lure
21/08/06: - Bushy's Stiffy Fizzer was recently judged Best New Lure at the Australian Fishing Tackle Association's annual conference on the Gold Coast.

A floating stick bait style lure, the Stiffy Fizzer was developed with big impoundment barramundi in mind, but don't be afraid to give it a swim wherever big fish are looking up, just waiting for their prey to come splashing across the water's surface..............[More]

New Squidgy Slick Rigs.
10/11/05: - Anglers in the midst of a hot bite or those new to soft plastics are prone to putting replacement tails on crooked, and this can deter fussy fish from striking. Fortunately though, the Squidgy folk have tackled this problem in their inimitable style and the end result is the Squidgy Slick Rig.............[More]

SFS Squidgy Spinnerbait Rod.Click here for more...
10/12/04: New for the 2004/2005 season is the Steve Starling Squidgy Spinnerbait rod. Another great addition to the superlative Steve Starling Sportfishing Series, this rod has been designed by Steve and ‘The Australian Rod Builder', Ian Miller

As the name suggests, the SFS Spinnerbait rod has been specifically designed for the use with small Squidgy Spinnerbaits from 4-21 grams and 2-5 kilo lines, but it works just as well with reaction baits, lipless crankbaits or any fishing application where a slightly longer rod is an advantage.

Squidgy Bluewater Garfish.Click here for more...
Whether used whole or as a cut bait, there's hardly a saltwater fish swimming that doesn't like eating garfish, but it's the game species like kingfish, mahi mahi, the various tunas, marlin and sailfish that really take a shine to them.

Developed by Kaj 'Bushy' Busch, Bluewater Garfish are available in pearl blue and green, are realistically soft, yet at the same time tough enough to survive multiple strikes without falling apart - unlike real gars. Bluewater Garfish are held together by a reflective beaded flexi-skeleton rigged on a 250-pound Dacron loop.

Steve Starling and Kaj 'Bushy' Busch are two of Australia's best known and most respected anglers, especially in the field of soft plastic lure fishing. For the past two years, this pair have been working on a major project to design, refine and thoroughly field test an exclusive range of soft plastic lures and accessories for the Blue Fox company; part of the giant Rapala/VMC organisation.

Bass and bream spend a lot of their time lying deep in the snags — looking upwards and watching for terrestrial animals that have fallen in the water, or prawns that might be quietly trying to get from Point A to Point B without being eaten. The new Squidgy Bug is designed to emulate these critters and has added a whole new dimension to Squidgy fishing in Australia.

Squidgy Spinnerbaits Click here for more...
With a specific goal and mind and working to a calculated formula, Ian Miller's Squidgy Spinnerbaits have been developed as a totally new concept lure for Australia's native sportfish. These lures are available now from Shimano tackle stockists, in four sizes and six colour combinations.

Squidgy Secrets 2Click here for more...
'Squidgy Secrets II: Beyond The Basics' takes a more detailed look at how to rig, present and, most importantly, where to fish Squidgies anywhere from the tropical bluewater to the fresh. Presented by those affable Squidgy heads, Starlo and Bushy, the action takes place on the wild west coast of Cape York, the NT's Corroboree Billabong, and south east Queensland's Lake Somerset and Lenthalls Dam.

 Along the way, a succession of barra, saratoga, tarpon, trevally, mackerel, queenfish and bass fall to these deadly soft plastics' charms. The boys are also joined by guest presenter, Ian 'Barra' Miller, who demonstrates how to fish his new Squidgy Spinnerbaits on a variety of species.
