Daiwa Drown Dragonfly Lure 72mm – Surface Insect Imitation That Predators Can’t Resist

The Daiwa Drown Dragonfly Lure 72mm is a hyper-realistic surface bait designed to perfectly mimic one of Australia’s most common and recognisable insects – the dragonfly. With its lifelike hollow rubber wings, buoyant Elastomax tail, and matte SaqSas hook plating, this lure presents naturally on the water and triggers aggressive strikes from fish that regularly feed on insects.

Whether you’re chasing bass, trout, jungle perch, sooty grunter, or bream, the Drown Dragonfly delivers irresistible topwater action. Its floating design ensures it rests “tail up” when paused, while subtle twitches create ripples and lifelike vibrations that predatory fish cannot ignore. Built with Daiwa’s advanced SaqSas hook technology, you’ll benefit from sharper hook points, extra corrosion resistance, and improved hook-up rates.

Perfect for freshwater creeks, rivers, impoundments, and backwaters, the Daiwa Drown Dragonfly is a must-have in every angler’s tackle box for explosive surface strikes.
