Collection: Tasmanian Devil Lures 13.5gr

The 13.5g Tasmanian Devil (often just called the "Tassie Devil") is the classic, original mid-size model in Wigston's iconic Tasmanian Devil lure series from Tasmania, Australia, dating back to the early 1980s. Weighing 13.5 grams (approximately 1/2 oz or 0.48 oz), it's roughly twice the weight of the 7g "Little Devil," with a length around 52mm (about 2 inches), making it a versatile all-rounder.

Its signature feature remains the innovative winged design: a hollow, weighted torpedo-shaped core with curved plastic "diamond" wings that generate an erratic, side-to-side darting, rocking, and diving action—mimicking an injured or fleeing baitfish. This creates a pulsating, nodding rod tip motion (visible feedback for proper retrieve speed) without line twist. The line-through rigging allows the body to slide up during fights, minimizing leverage for better hook retention.

Recommended for trolling (ideal at 4–5 km/h or 2.5–3 mph), casting, jigging, or downrigging in freshwater and light saltwater. It excels with trout (brown, rainbow), salmon, steelhead, bass, pike, walleye, and similar predatory species—often outperforming flashier lures in clear water or when fish are spooky.

Durable plastic construction with high-quality hooks (typically VMC treble or single options), it's available in over 100 vibrant colors/patterns (e.g., Gold Zebra, Pink Panther, Clown, Live Skin finishes like Largemouth Bass or Bleeding Frog). Anglers love it as a reliable, proven performer—affordable, easy to use, and effective worldwide for both beginners and experts.
