Hooked Up 155 April 2025

The April issue of Hooked Up Magazine is live and it’s a cracker. We kick things off with an epic road trip from NSW to QLD, chasing big impoundment barra. It’s a wild ride with big fish, mad sessions, and plenty of kilometres covered. Next up, we break down everything you need to know about poppers—what makes a good one, the different styles, and when to use them. We also take a closer look at the humble bluespot flathead in South Australia and how to catch them on plastics and bait. To wrap things up, there’s a deep dive into the evolution of jigging, and how slow pitch and mechanical jigging have started to blend into a hybrid style that’s changing the game.
