The Daiwa Bait Junkie 2.5 Inch Minnow Lure is a premium finesse soft plastic swimbait designed to tempt bream, bass, flathead and other estuary or freshwater predators. Compact in size but big on action, this lure has become a go-to choice for anglers chasing results in both pressured waters and natural feeding zones.

At the heart of the design is Daiwa’s signature slim waist construction, which segments the body to allow the boot tail to swim freely with maximum vibration. This produces an irresistible high-pitch action, even when rigged on ultra-light jigheads as small as 1/16oz. The combination of a broad boot tail and thin wrist delivers a natural, enticing movement that draws strikes from nearby fish.

Built with Elastomax material, the 2.5” Minnow is both buoyant and durable, ensuring exceptional swimming performance without sacrificing longevity. Enhanced with Amino-X natural scent, it masks plastic odours and encourages fish to hold on longer, giving you more time to set the hook.

Available in 24 colour variations, including solid and two-tone laminates, this lure offers the perfect match for every environment and condition. Whether slow-rolled, hopped, or fished through structure, the Daiwa Bait Junkie 2.5 Inch Minnow will earn a permanent spot in your tackle box.
