About this lure

Atomic Plazos Jerk Minnow is a versatile baitfish imitation built for anglers who want a softbait that can do it all. Featuring fluted tail channels that amplify movement, it delivers lifelike action whether twitched aggressively, slow-wound or simply left to sit motionless on a jighead. From inshore flats and estuary channels to offshore reefs and even trolling for tuna, the Jerk Minnow adapts to any style and any species.

  • Unique fluted tail design – increases vibration and movement on the slightest lift
  • Flexible rigging options – fish weightless, on light jigheads or heavier offshore rigs
  • Works at all retrieve speeds – dart it hard, glide it slow or dead-stick for finesse bites
  • Natural bottom presentation – sits like a worm emerging from sand or mud
  • Proven trolling performance – used successfully on southern bluefin tuna
  • Wide species appeal – suited to inshore, offshore and pelagic targets

How to fish the Atomic Plazos - Jerk Minnow

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Atomic Plazos Jerk Minnow excels on a jighead across multiple retrieve styles.

Twitch it sharply to trigger aggressive strikes, wind it slowly for a natural glide, or dead-stick it for finesse bites - the fluted tail channels amplify movement on every cadence.

Fish it weightless in shallow flats and estuary channels, or pair heavier offshore rigs with the larger sizes (6-7 inch) for deeper reef work and trolling applications.

This softbait adapts to inshore, offshore and pelagic conditions. Cast and work it around structure, or troll it for sustained pressure.

The natural bottom presentation mimics a baitfish emerging from sand or mud, making it effective on a wide range of species across New Zealand waters.
