Overview: about unicorn leatherjacket
Unicorn leatherjackets are feisty reef dwellers found in NSW and WA, putting up a strong fight on light to medium tackle. They can be caught using small jigs, soft plastics, and live baits in 10-50m over reef structure. Reasonable eating quality, but often released due to their strong flavour.
