About this lure

The Daiwa Bait Junkie Korean BBQ Wave Minnow 5.5" brings a deadly curl-tail design to estuary fishing. Its distinctive ‘Wave’ tail moves even at the slowest retrieve, delivering irresistible lifelike action that triggers strikes when fish are shut down and finicky.

  • Unique Wave tail – activates at ultra-slow speeds for subtle natural movement
  • Upturned tail flick – catches water and forces the tail open, creating constant action
  • Versatile bait profile – imitates shrimp, prawns, small fish and worms
  • Elastomax buoyant body – tail sits up off the bottom, working even when still
  • Ideal for pressured fish – perfect when snapper, trevally or kahawai are lethargic
  • Durable soft plastic – stretches and rebounds for extended use

How to fish the Daiwa Bait Junkie - 5.5" Wave Minnow Korean BBQ

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

The Daiwa Bait Junkie Wave Minnow is a 5.5" soft plastic built for estuary work, especially when fish are sluggish or pressured.

Its signature Wave tail activates even on ultra-slow retrieves, generating subtle lifelike movement that triggers strikes from finicky snapper, trevally and kahawai.

Cast and work it on a slow, steady retrieve or pause-and-twitch cadence-the upturned tail design catches water and forces constant action without requiring aggressive rod work.

The buoyant Elastomax body keeps the tail elevated off the bottom, so it remains effective even when fished static or on the drop.

This makes it ideal for working around structure, drop-offs and soft-bottom areas where lethargic fish hold.

Pair it with light to medium jig heads or soft-plastic rigs to match the estuary environment and target species.
