Product of The Week - Bait Junkie Minnow 6.2'

The up size version from the 4.2” minnow, the 6.2” Minnow is 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 it 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. Rigged on a standard jighead or weighted weedless the 6.2” minnow will swim on the drop and has been accounting for an incredible amount of fish as it swims down on a pause.The incorporated belly slit makes weedless rigging easy and the extra meat behind the “slim waist” is the perfect spot to pin a stinger hook to maximize your catch.The Bait Junkie 6.2” Minnow comes with 3 pieces per pack.
