About

Fish Head began in 2003 when Duncan and Janelle took over a small bait and tackle store at Redland Bay on the south side of Brisbane. The store quickly grew into a specialty lure shop, importing hard to find tackle from around the globe, introducing many new boutique and handmade brands to the Australian market particularly from Japan. The growth of jigging, topwater and GT fishing in Australia allowed Fish Head to be at the forefront of these styles and began shipping world-wide as well as organising trips to many hot spots in Australia and abroad. After shifting to larger premises in nearby Victoria Point in 2007, the growth and demand for high quality tackle around Australia (and the world) prompted a further move in 2012 to focus on online sales from their base on the Gold Coast. After ticking over 20 years in business in 2023 at their new headquarters in Nerang QLD, the focus remains the same: more cool, interesting and handmade tackle from all over the world and many fishy adventures ahead!
