Daiwa Bait Junkie 6.5 Inch Gar Lure

The Daiwa Bait Junkie 6.5” Gar Lure has been engineered to perfectly imitate slender baitfish species such as garfish, longtom, piper, and sauries — irresistible prey for a wide range of predatory fish in Australian waters. Whether you’re casting across shallow flats for flathead, working inshore grounds for kingfish, or chasing offshore pelagics like tuna, this lure delivers lifelike swimming action that draws explosive strikes.

Constructed from Daiwa’s premium Elastomax material, the 6.5” Gar is highly buoyant, durable, and incredibly stretchy — ensuring maximum longevity even after repeated hits. Its thin waist and streamlined profile promote natural water flow, producing a proven “S-motion” tail action that mimics a distressed baitfish gliding just beneath the surface.

Designed with practicality in mind, the Bait Junkie Gar includes rigging slots on the belly, allowing anglers to easily insert stinger hooks for added hookup security. Available in multiple proven colour patterns, this lure is an essential addition to your tackle box for targeting aggressive predators across estuary, inshore, and offshore environments.
