Atomic Hardz Shiner 75 Mid – 75mm Mid Diving Hard Body Fishing Lure

The Atomic Hardz Shiner 75 Mid is a versatile 75mm hard body fishing lure designed to target a wide range of Australian estuary and inshore species, including flathead, barramundi, jewfish, mangrove jack and Australian bass.

Featuring a distinctive tight wobble and roll swimming action, the Shiner 75 Mid creates an enticing baitfish presentation that attracts predatory fish when casting around flats, weed beds, submerged timber, rocky banks and other fish-holding structure.

Its mid-diving design makes it an excellent choice for anglers wanting to work the middle of the water column, while its floating construction allows the lure to rise when paused. This gives anglers greater control when fishing around snags and helps create an unpredictable stop-start action that can trigger strikes from following fish.

With its practical 75mm baitfish profile, the Atomic Shiner 75 Mid offers an excellent balance between size, swimming action and versatility.

Whether you're chasing flathead throughout the Great Sandy Strait, casting for jewfish in the Mary River or targeting barramundi in northern Queensland waters, the Atomic Hardz Shiner 75 Mid is a reliable addition to your hard body lure collection.

Why Choose the Atomic Hardz Shiner 75 Mid?

Versatile Mid Diving Performance

The Shiner 75 Mid is designed to work through the middle of the water column, making it a practical choice for fishing around estuary banks, weed beds, submerged structure and other areas where predatory fish are feeding.

Its mid-diving profile provides an alternative to shallow-running and deep-diving hard body lures.

Enticing Wobble & Roll Action

The Shiner produces a tight wobble and roll action that imitates a swimming baitfish.

A steady retrieve brings the lure to life, while pauses and changes in retrieve speed can create an erratic presentation that encourages strikes.

Floating Design for Fishing Around Structure

One of the Shiner's key advantages is its floating construction.

When the retrieve is paused, the lure rises in the water column, helping anglers work around submerged timber, rocky bottoms and other underwater obstacles.

The diving bib can also help deflect the lure when it contacts suitable structure.

Ideal for Casting & Retrieving

The Shiner 75 Mid is primarily designed as a casting lure.

It performs particularly well when worked across flats, alongside weed beds, around timber and near wharves or pylons where baitfish and predatory fish gather.

Suitable for Trolling

Although designed primarily for casting, the Shiner can also be trolled.

Its distinctive swimming action makes it a practical option for covering water while searching for flathead, jewfish and other predatory species.

Recommended Fishing Locations

• Estuary Flats

• Weed Beds & Weed Edges

• Submerged Timber & Snags

• Rocky Banks

• River Channels

• Mangrove Edges

• Wharves & Bridge Pylons

• Inshore Structure

• Suitable Trolling Grounds

How to Fish the Atomic Hardz Shiner 75 Mid

1. Steady Retrieve

Cast beyond your intended target area and retrieve at a consistent speed.

The lure's tight wobble and roll action creates an attractive baitfish presentation as it swims through the water.

2. Stop-Start Retrieve

Retrieve the lure to the desired depth, then briefly pause.

The floating design allows the lure to rise before diving again when retrieval resumes.

This change in movement can be particularly effective when fish are following but not committing to a strike.

3. Fishing Around Structure

Cast alongside submerged timber, rocky banks, weed edges or other fish-holding structure.

Allow the lure to dive towards the target area, then adjust your retrieve or pause to help it rise over potential snags.

4. Trolling

The Shiner 75 Mid can also be trolled through suitable estuary channels and along banks.

Adjust trolling speed and line length to achieve the desired swimming action and depth.

5. Use a Loop Knot

For maximum lure movement, Atomic recommends using a loop knot.

This allows the lure greater freedom to swim and helps maintain its natural wobble and roll action.

Fishing Tips

• Match the Hatch: The 75mm profile is ideal when predatory fish are feeding on midsize baitfish.

• Vary Your Retrieve: Experiment with steady winds, short pauses and changes in speed until you find what triggers strikes.

• Target Structure: Focus on timber, rock bars, weed beds and banks where predatory fish are likely to hold.

• Let It Float: When approaching a snag, pause the retrieve and allow the lure to rise before continuing.

• Try Trolling: Cover water along estuary channels and banks when searching for active fish.

• Use a Loop Knot: Helps the lure swim freely and maintain its intended action.
