The Jackall Chubby 38 Deep Floating Lure is one of Australia’s most popular finesse crankbaits, built to tempt a wide variety of estuary and freshwater species. With its compact 38mm profile and 4.3g weight, the Chubby is perfectly balanced to cast with light tackle and deliver maximum performance.

Designed with a tight, wide action, this lure comes alive when slow-rolled across weed beds, bumped along rocky structure, or twitched around timber. Its natural swimming movement and ability to hold in the strike zone make it deadly on Bream, Bass, Estuary Perch, and Trout. The floating design allows anglers to pause the retrieve and let the lure rise over snags, increasing versatility and strike potential.

With a diving depth of 2–3m, the Chubby 38 Deep Floating is the go-to choice for anglers targeting fish in deeper estuary edges and freshwater systems. Known as one of the lures that kicked off Australia’s crankbaiting craze, the Jackall Chubby continues to set the benchmark for performance, reliability, and fish-catching power.
