Daiwa Bait Junkie 5 Inch Prawn Lure

The Daiwa Bait Junkie 5 Inch Prawn Lure is designed to perfectly replicate the natural movements of a prawn, making it one of the most effective soft plastic baits for estuary and inshore fishing across Australia.

With a three-segment body design, this lure delivers a natural sink where the tail splays and glides back to the bottom, enticing predatory fish into striking. The forward-facing legs, inspired by the popular 295 Flick tail design, create a subtle shimmy action on the retrieve, imitating the natural quiver of a real prawn’s legs.

Whether you’re targeting flathead, bream, mulloway, snapper or estuary cod, the 5” Bait Junkie Prawn excels with both a hopping retrieve that mimics a fleeing prawn or a slow roll presentation in current. Built from Daiwa’s Elastomax material and infused with Amino-X scent, it’s durable, buoyant, and irresistible to fish.

This lure is a staple in every angler’s tackle box, providing versatility, lifelike action, and proven results in both estuary and inshore environments.
