Daiwa Bait Junkie FW Starter Pack
Stop guessing and start catching.
The Daiwa Bait Junkie Saltwater Softbait Starter Pack takes the trial and error out of soft bait fishing, giving you a ready-to-fish setup that’s proven to perform on New Zealand’s inshore species. Each pack includes a selection of 2.5" Bait Junkie Minnows and matched premium jig heads, giving you everything you need to target Snapper, Kahawai, Trevally and even schoolie Kingfish straight out of the packet. Soft Bait: Daiwa Bait Junkie Minnow 2.5"
A fast-growing favourite among Kiwi light-tackle and freshwater anglers, the Bait Junkie Minnow combines innovation, action, and durability.
Elastomax construction: ultra-stretchy, tough, and PVC-free.
Slim waist design: segmented body allows the tail to move freely for maximum vibration.
Broad boot tail: delivers high-pitch action that draws predators from afar.
Floating material: naturally buoyant so baits rest “tail-up" on the bottom for added attraction.
AMINO-X scent: natural flavour and odour mask that makes fish bite — and hold on longer.
Light jighead ready: still swims naturally even on ultra-light rigs around 1/16 oz.
