Atomic Plazos APF Prong Lure 2 Inch

The Atomic Plazos APF Prong 2 Inch is a lifelike prawn imitation soft plastic that delivers natural movement and subtle action, making it a deadly choice for bream, bass, flathead and other Australian predatory species.

The Atomic Plazos APF (Atomic Polymer Flex) Prong is a uniquely Australian-designed soft plastic that perfectly imitates a fleeing or feeding prawn. Manufactured from premium Atomic Polymer Flex material, it features a softer, more responsive body that enhances lifelike movement while maintaining a natural sink rate through the water column. This realistic presentation makes it highly effective when fish are feeding cautiously or pressured.

The 2-inch Prong features multiple soft tendrils that waft naturally with every movement of the water, creating an irresistible presentation. It can be rigged on a jighead, fished weightless for a slow natural descent or rigged weedless on a worm hook around heavy structure. Whether you're targeting bream in estuaries, bass in freshwater or flathead over sandy flats, the APF Prong offers exceptional versatility and proven fish-catching performance.

Expert Advice

Rig the Prong perfectly straight to ensure it sinks naturally and the tendrils move freely. A light jighead is ideal for slow bottom presentations around flats, rock walls and oyster racks, while a weedless worm hook allows you to confidently fish heavy weed and timber. Mix slow hops, long pauses and subtle twitches to imitate a fleeing prawn, and stay alert on the drop, as many fish will strike while the lure is sinking. For surface presentations over shallow structure, rig it weedless and retrieve it slowly with occasional pauses.
