The Daiwa Bait Junkie 2.5-Inch Grub is a finesse soft plastic lure designed to deliver outstanding performance when chasing species like bream, trout, bass, and other light-tackle favourites. Compact yet packed with action, the signature curl tail kicks into gear with the slightest movement, delivering a seductive swimming motion even on the slowest retrieves or while sinking.
Crafted from Daiwa’s ultra-durable Elastomax material, the 2.5” Grub is stretchy, buoyant, and tough enough to withstand multiple strikes. The tail design creates water displacement and vibration, drawing fish in from a distance, while the buoyant body allows for a natural tail-up presentation when paused on the bottom—mimicking a feeding or injured baitfish.
Ideal for both estuary and freshwater fishing, this lure performs exceptionally well on light jigheads, with rigging options including weedless or traditional jighead styles. The soft, scented plastic further enhances its appeal, encouraging more bites and longer hold times.
Whether you're targeting pressured fish or working finesse presentations through structure, the Daiwa Bait Junkie 2.5-Inch Grub is a go-to choice for any serious angler. Available in a wide range of colours to suit all conditions and water types, it’s a staple in any tackle box.
