Tackle House Flitz 60 – 10.8cm 60g

Tackle House Flitz 60: The High-Density Tuna Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, the Tackle House Flitz 60 is recognized as a heavy-duty powerhouse, specifically engineered for the extreme demands of offshore pelagic fishing. While measuring only 10.8cm, it weighs a substantial 60g, giving it an extraordinary size-to-weight ratio. This “heavy-weight minnow” is the go-to choice for specialists targeting Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail, and other powerful pelagics that require both a small profile and extreme casting distance.

The Flitz 60 is designed to be launched on high-power rods, cutting through the wind with ease to reach distant “boils” and feeding frenzies. Its high-density construction and reinforced internal structure ensure that it remains stable at the incredibly high retrieve speeds necessary to trigger aggressive reaction strikes from fast-moving ocean predators.

Product Details and Uses

The Flitz 60 is a tactical “missile” designed for high-stakes offshore encounters:

• Extraordinary Ballistics: The 60g weight packed into a compact 10.8cm body makes this lure cast like a lead jig. This allows boat anglers to stay at a safe distance from a “bust-up” to avoid spooking the school while still placing the lure perfectly in the strike zone.

• Tuna-Grade Construction: Tackle House understands the power of a tuna strike. The Flitz 60 features a heavy-duty wire-through construction, ensuring that even under the immense pressure of a long-duration fight with a 50kg+ fish, the lure will not pull apart.

• High-Speed Stability: This lure is “tuned” to be reeled as fast as possible. While standard minnows might spin or blow out of the water at high speeds, the Flitz 60 tracks straight and deep, producing a tight, panicked vibration that predators find irresistible.

• Versatile Sinking Depth: As a sinking model, it isn’t limited to the surface. It can be counted down to target fish holding deeper in the water column or allowed to sink through a school of baitfish to reach the larger predators lurking beneath.

• Visual Persistence: Finished with Tackle House’s premium high-durability foils and paints, the Flitz 60 maintains its reflective “flash” even after multiple encounters with toothy predators and the abrasive nature of saltwater.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: When tuna are “skimming” on very small bait, the Flitz 60 is your secret weapon. Its small 10.8cm silhouette matches the size of juvenile forage, but its weight allows you to use the heavy PE 5-8 tackle needed to land a tuna. Try a “fast-stop-fast” retrieve—the sudden flutter as the lure sinks on the pause is often when the strike occurs
