Zipbaits ZBL Zoea 49S Lure

A highly realistic sinking prawn imitation designed to fool bream, flathead, estuary perch and other inshore predators with natural shrimp-like movement.

The Zipbaits ZBL Zoea 49S Lure brings ultra-light game fishing to life with an incredibly lifelike prawn profile and action. Built to replicate a swimming shrimp, this compact hardbody maintains a natural horizontal posture through the water, helping it look convincing to wary fish feeding on prawns and crustaceans.

A standout feature of the Zoea 49S is its specialised tail fin design, which captures water flow during retrieves and pauses to create a subtle shuddering action. This natural movement closely mimics a fleeing or drifting prawn, making it highly effective when targeting pressured estuary species that demand a realistic presentation.

Constructed from solid resin with translucent colour patterns, the Zoea 49S delivers exceptional realism in clear water conditions where fish closely inspect their prey. Whether you're fishing flats, canals, rock walls, oyster racks or estuary systems, this lure is a proven option for anglers looking to imitate one of Australia's most important forage species. Available now at Anglers Warehouse with fast shipping Australia wide.
