✦ UV
The AK21 Garfish is RUI's most precisely researched baitfish imitation — a faithful recreation of the Australian Garfish (Hyporhamphus australis), one of the most abundant and targeted prey species for Southern Calamari in Port Phillip Bay. The silvery blue-grey iridescent scale finish precisely matches the elongated, silver-blue flanks of a live garfish, and the UV-reactive treatment fires at depth where garfish schools are most densely packed.
Garfish Natural Mimic
Precise imitation of the Australian Garfish — one of Port Phillip Bay's most abundant baitfish and a primary prey species for Southern Calamari year-round.
UV Silver-Blue Iridescent Scale
Natural scale-patterned iridescent finish in silver-blue activates under UV — replicating the reflective flank scales of a live garfish at UV-active depths.
Slow Sinking Variant Available
3.5 Slow Sinking option provides an extended presentation in the mid-water column where garfish schools suspend — matching the depth and movement of real garfish prey.
4-Size Range (3.5/3.0/2.5/3.5 Slow)
Four size options including slow sinking for complete garfish-match coverage.
