Daiwa Bait Junkie Minnows

Daiwa Bait Junkie Minnows 2.5″ and 3.2″

The fastest-growing bait profile in the finesse angling community right now, the bite-sized boot tail swimbait is fast becoming a go-to for many anglers chasing bream, bass, flathead & more. The Bait Junkie 2.5” Minnow is the first design that incorporates Bait Junkie’s signature ‘slim waist’ design principle. This waist section segments the body into two parts, allowing the tail to move freely and thanks to the Elastomax construction. The durability of the bait is a non-concern. A broad boot tail is connected to a thin tail wrist which delivers an insanely high-pitch vibration, capable of calling in predatory fish from long distances. The soft nature of Elastomax also means the 2.5” Minnow is capable of fishing on very light jigheads, still maintaining an enticing swimming action whilst sinking even when rigged on lightweight heads around 1/16oz.

Featuring rigging lines on the top for easy straight rigging, the Bait Junkie 2.5” Minnow comes in 18 different colours to suit both fresh & saltwater. With an assortment of solid and two-tone laminate colours there is sure to be one that suits any situation you may encounter. The Bait Junkie 2.5” Minnow comes in 8 pieces per pack.

The Daiwa Bait Junkie Minnows are a marvellous type of soft plastic lure. The upsize offering from the 2.5” minnow, the 3.2” version is a juiced-up swimbait ready to catch anything that swims in either salt or freshwater. A slightly thicker body can accept larger hooks and larger bait keepers. On the other hand, the slightly bigger boot tail produces an almighty thump to attract predators in deep or dirty water. The same signature ‘slim waist’ design is prominent in this bait and delivers a swimming action that is unmatched by more traditional swimbait profiles.

The Daiwa Bait Junkie Minnows are available in 18 fantastic colours in a mix of solid and two-tone laminate injections. The 3.2” Minnow is the ‘all-rounder’ of the BaitJunkie range, featuring rigging lines on the top for easy rigging. This is the bait to reach for when chasing flathead in the estuaries or Australian bass in the rivers of coastal NSW. The BaitJunkie 3.2” Minnow comes in 6 pieces per pack.

What is a Soft Plastic Lure?
Soft plastic lures are versatile and effective fishing baits that are made of flexible, synthetic materials such as silicone or rubber. These lures come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colours. Henceforth, they imitate various types of prey including worms, baitfish, and crustaceans. The soft and lifelike texture of these lures gives them a natural appearance and feel. This makes them highly attractive to a variety of fish species. Soft plastic lures can be rigged in different ways, such as on a weighted hook, a jig head, or as a trailer on a spinner bait or jig. Their softness allows for a realistic and enticing swimming action when retrieved through the water.
Using soft plastic lures involves several techniques to maximize their effectiveness. Rigging options can vary depending on the desired presentation. For example, methods like Texas rigging, Carolina rigging, or drop shot rigging are popular choices. When fishing with soft plastic lures, it's important to experiment with different retrieval speeds. Furthermore, pauses, and twitches to imitate the movement of injured or fleeing prey are also crucial. It's also beneficial to match the colour and size of the soft plastic lure to the preferences of the target fish. Soft plastic lures are popular among anglers for many reasons. These include versatility, realistic action, and the ability to entice strikes from a wide range of fish species in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
