Orders have gone dead quiet.

I’m sitting here, smashing ciggies and staring at the wall, and I’m over it.

Not because I’m broke. I couldn’t care less about that.

It’s because I started this for the love of fishing… not to sit around like a stunned mullet.

A few of you have jumped into the comp, good. You’re in the running for $450 cash or $450 in tackle. That’s how it should be.

But I know there’s more of you out there.

So here it is, biggest order this week gets a personal call from me.

Short on cash? Join the club. Send me a message and I’ll flick you a discount code.

I’m 75, I’m running out of time, and I’ve got no interest in slowing down.

Let’s see if this lot’s still got a bit of life in it.

Josh Smith with a Gold-Barred Beauty! 🎣

Check out this absolute stunner Josh Smith pulled in using one of our lures! It’s a cracker of a Golden Trevally, showing off those classic gold spots and that powerful build.

Now, here is the heartbreak: Josh can’t officially enter this one into the comp because he forgot to get it on the brag mat for a measurement.

The Moral of the Story:

Don't be like Josh: Always keep your brag mat handy if you want that prize money.

Or... do be like Josh: Because when the fish is this good, you won’t be going home hungry, and let’s be honest, that celebratory ciggie looks like it hit the spot perfectly. 🚬💨

Great catch, Josh! Even if it’s not on the leaderboard, it’s definitely a win in our books.

Think you can out-fish Jordan? 🎣

He just pulled in this 17cm Redfin Perch using one of our soft plastics! It might not be a monster, but it’s the benchmark to beat.

I've put $450 CASH (or $450 worth of tackle) on the line for the legend who can land a bigger one. 💵🔥

How to win:

Grab a pack of our soft plastics at 👉 charliestackle.com.au

Head to your favorite spot and get casting.

If you land a Redfin bigger than 17cm, send us a photo exactly like Jordan’s:

Lure in the mouth (or right next to it).

Measured clearly against a brag mat or ruler.

Don't let Jordan take the glory.

Buy your pack now, get out there, and show us what you’ve got!

NO ONE has sent me a single bloody photo yet… not one.

I thought at least one of you legends would’ve pulled something decent out by now… but it’s been crickets. 🦗

So stuff it… I’m upping the stakes.

If someone catches the biggest fish before April 10th, I’m upping the giveaway.

$450 cash
or
$450 worth of tackle

Now we’re talking proper motivation.

Don’t tell me all you “gun fishermen” have suddenly gone quiet…

or are the fish just laughing at ya? 😂
Same rules apply.

Buy a pack, send me a photo of your catch measured with one of my lures in the fish’s mouth or next to it, and you’re in the running.

Simple.

I didn’t think I’d be throwing this kind of money around… but here we are.

So get off your arse, wet a line, and show me something worth paying for. 🎣

Because right now…

There’s $450 on the line…

and I’m starting to think none of you can bloody fish. 😏
