The Jackall Chubby 38 Shallow Floating Lure is a must-have for finesse anglers chasing estuary and freshwater sportfish. Compact at 38mm and weighing 4g, the Chubby is designed to tempt a wide range of species with its irresistible tight, wide swimming action.

Running at less than 1 metre, this shallow diver is deadly when slow-rolled across weed beds, twitched around racks, or worked along shallow banks and flats. Its floating design allows it to pause and rise above snags, making it perfect for targeting fish holding tight in skinny water.

The Chubby has played a huge role in the crankbaiting revolution across Australia, and it continues to prove itself as one of the most effective shallow-water lures available. From Bream and Bass in estuaries to Trout and Redfin in freshwater systems, the Jackall Chubby 38 Shallow Floating is a reliable producer of bites.
