The GS01 Mackerel is RUI's most faithful mackerel imitation — an iridescent blue back with bold black mackerel stripes over a shimmering silver-white belly. The GS (Game Species) series is built around precise baitfish colour matching, and the GS01 replicates the exact colouration of a juvenile Blue Mackerel — one of the most abundant and actively targeted prey species for Southern Calamari in Port Phillip Bay's open water.
Mackerel Baitfish Match
Iridescent blue back with bold black mackerel stripes precisely replicates the lateral colouration of a juvenile Blue Mackerel — one of Port Phillip Bay's most abundant squid prey species.
Internal Rattle
Audible internal rattle extends detection range beyond visual cues — effective in murky water and at depth where mackerel schools are most dense.
Silver-White Belly Flash
Shimmering silver-white belly replicates the reflective ventral surface of a live mackerel — the primary upward flash trigger for squid attacking from below.
Full 4-Size Range
4.0 through 2.5 — complete size range matching juvenile through adult mackerel prey profile.
