Mintoss Johnson Lure 5 Inch

Built to tempt big barra, cod and jacks in heavy structure, this versatile soft plastic turns tough sessions into hook-ups.

The Mintoss Johnson Lure 5 Inch is a larger-profile soft plastic designed for anglers chasing serious predators in demanding environments. Whether you're working snag-filled rivers for Murray cod, targeting barra in timber, or fishing tight mangrove edges for jacks, this lure delivers the versatility and durability needed to get results.

Its standout feature is its multi-orientation rigging capability—fish it upright, on its belly, or even upside down to completely change the presentation. This allows you to adapt quickly to conditions and fish behaviour. Work it across the surface like a frog, slow roll it through structure, or let it waft naturally for a subtle, lifelike presentation that draws strikes from wary fish.

Constructed from a naturally buoyant, ultra-stretchy material, the Johnson produces enticing movement even at slow speeds while standing up to repeated hits. Its excellent skipping ability lets you reach tight pockets and heavy cover, while weedless rigging protects your hook point so you can fish confidently where the big fish live.

When the bite gets tough, the Mintoss Johnson 5 Inch gives you the edge to fish smarter and land better fish.
