The small profile of the 2.5” Grub makes it perfect for all finesse fishing scenarios. Designed to excel when fishing for popular estuarine sportfish such as bream, flathead & bass, the large single grub tail emits an enticing action which gets curious fish to bite. The 2.5” Bait Junkie Grub can be used on a wide variety of jigheads both weighted and unweighed and can be rigged tail up or tail down depending on the angler’s preference. A very versatile soft plastic, the 2.5” Grub is equally at home being presented close to structure or hopped off the bottom.

2.5" Grub
2.5" Minnow
At 2.5” this small paddletail is a finesse anglers' dream. Designed to excel in the freshwater lakes for bass or trout, as well as our coastal estuarine environments for bream, flathead, estuary perch & more. The 2.5” Minnow can be rigged with a traditional jighead, an ‘internal’ weight jighead or even unweighted and fished across the surface on an offset ‘worm’ hook. The thin tail profile has been designed to give maximum action with minimal input, meaning more bites on the drop as the paddle tail goes to work as the bait sinks. Best fished either close to structure or hopping off the bottom, the 2.5” minnow is versatile and very effective. Offered in a large variety of colours suited to both fresh & saltwater and clear or dirty water, there is sure to be an option to suit your needs.

4.2” Minnow
5" Jerkshad
The go-to choice for many anglers chasing prized saltwater fish such as snapper, the Bait Junkie 5” Jerkshad exhibits some of the most incredible swimming action ever witnessed from a ‘fluke’ style bait. The Bait Junkie ‘slim waist’ design principle is in full flight in the 5” Jerkshad, with the prominent waist section segmenting the bait into two separate parts. The vertical fluke tail exaggerates the action and the hinge-like effect of the body makes the tail section of the BaitJunkie 5” Jerkshad swim like no other. A belly slit enables weedless rigging with an EWG style weighted hook and is the rigging method of choice when you want to keep the bait up high in the water column. When rigged on a traditional jighead and hopped off the bottom, the action of the tail will turn inquisitive fish into catches!

5" Jerkshad
7" Jerkshad
The largest offering in the initial BaitJunkie line-up, the 7” Jerkshad is like no other. With the longer body and more mass, the incredible ‘S’ wave swimming motion which is so prevalent in the 5” version is only increased in the 7” model. The combination of the segmented body design and the vertical fluke tail makes this lure swim like you couldn’t imagine. Rigged with a traditional jighead design, the 7” jerkshad will swim on the drop, accounting for an incredible amount of strikes. On the straight retrieve the tail section moves like a snake through the water, allowing the bait to track straight & true, a great feature when chasing fast-moving pelagic species. The incorporated belly slit makes weedless rigging an easy possibility and presents almost endless possible uses for such a versatile bait design.

6.2” Minnow
The upsized version of the 4.2” Minnow, the 6.2” Minnow is the perfect large swimbait to tempt big predators to strike.
The versatile swimming action which is so evident in the 4.2” version is only increased in the 6.2” model. The longer body and extra girth create the ideal profile and when paired with the rolling/thumping swimming action and is the perfect imitation for large baitfish.
The big boot tail will work at very slow speeds enabling the angler to “slow roll” for barramundi, mulloway and makes an excellent trailer when targeting big Murray cod.
