Atomic Plazos APF Fat Grub Lure 2 Inch

The Atomic Plazos APF Fat Grub 2 Inch is a legendary curl tail soft plastic that delivers irresistible action at slow retrieve speeds, making it a proven performer for bream, bass, flathead and a wide range of Australian estuary and freshwater species.

The Atomic Plazos APF (Atomic Polymer Flex) Fat Grub has earned its reputation as one of Australia's most effective soft plastic fishing lures. Constructed from premium Atomic Polymer Flex material, it features a softer, more responsive body that creates exceptional tail movement while maintaining a natural sink rate. This allows the lure to remain in the strike zone longer and produce a realistic presentation that consistently tempts wary fish.

The oversized curl tail generates maximum movement with minimal rod action, making the 2-inch Fat Grub equally effective on a slow roll, hopped across the bottom or worked vertically beneath the boat. Whether you're targeting bream in estuaries, bass in freshwater impoundments or flathead along sandy drop-offs, this versatile soft plastic continues to produce fish when conditions become challenging.

Expert Advice

Rig the Fat Grub perfectly straight on a quality jighead to maximise its swimming action. A loop knot allows the lure to move more freely, giving the oversized curl tail maximum movement. Fish it with a slow, steady retrieve or allow it to sink before using subtle lifts and pauses. Many strikes occur on the drop, so stay in contact with the lure throughout the retrieve. When fishing vertically, pairing it with an Atomic Seekerz jighead allows the lure to sit upright with the tail working even at rest.
