Daiwa Bait Junkie 2.5 Inch Grub Lure – Deadly Versatility for Freshwater & Saltwater Fishing
The Daiwa Bait Junkie 2.5” Grub Lure is one of the most effective soft plastics available in Australia, delivering irresistible action that predatory fish can’t resist. Designed with a unique single tail curl, the Grub produces a natural swimming motion even at the slowest retrieve speeds, making it deadly in both fresh and saltwater environments.
What sets this lure apart is its precision-engineered tail orientation. By positioning the tail parallel to the body, water pressure flows directly into the curl, forcing it open to create a continuous, lifelike swimming action. This design allows the Grub to perform flawlessly on the drop and with lighter jigheads, giving anglers the edge when targeting wary or pressured fish.
Rigged tail-up or tail-down, the 2.5” Grub adapts to multiple techniques and species. Whether you’re chasing bream, flathead, bass, trout, or estuary perch, its subtle yet enticing action makes it a must-have in every tackle box. Available in a wide range of proven colour patterns, the Daiwa Bait Junkie Grub ensures you’re ready for any condition.
