Daiwa Bait Junkie 3.2 Inch Minnow Lure

The Daiwa Bait Junkie 3.2 Inch Minnow is the versatile all-rounder of the Bait Junkie soft plastic range, designed to tempt everything from estuary flathead to freshwater bass. An upsized version of the 2.5” Minnow, this profile offers a slightly thicker body to accommodate larger hooks and bait keepers, while the oversized boot tail delivers a powerful thumping action that calls in predators from deeper or murkier water.

Made from Daiwa’s Elastomax material, this lure is exceptionally durable, buoyant, and flexible — allowing for lifelike swimming action without sacrificing strength. The slim waist design gives the Minnow an unmatched natural action, while its Amino-X infused formula provides an irresistible scent and flavour that keeps fish holding on longer, giving anglers more time to set the hook.

Available in 18 colour options, including solid and two-tone laminates, the 3.2” Minnow is easy to rig thanks to clearly marked rigging lines. Whether you’re slow-rolling for flathead in estuaries, targeting Australian bass in rivers, or prospecting for a wide range of saltwater and freshwater species, this lure delivers consistent results.
