Zman Grubz Fishing Lure 2.5 Inch

Australia’s favourite curl-tail for bream and flathead, delivering seductive tail action, durability and confidence when the bite is tough.

The Zman Grubz 2.5 Inch is a compact curl-tail soft plastic for anglers who demand results in clear, pressured estuaries, canals and lakes. Famous on the tournament scene, it pairs a short, stocky body with a long, lively tail that swims on the slowest retrieve and keeps working on the pause—ideal for bream, flathead, bass and more.

Crafted from 10X Tough ElaZtech, the Grubz stays soft, supple and incredibly durable, standing tail-up at rest for a natural, feeding posture. Its buoyancy creates a subtle sway in current and on slack line, triggering reaction strikes from wary fish. Rig it light for shallow flats, step up weight for wind or current, or go weedless through racks and weed beds. If you need a proven “jellybean” that consistently sticks fish, this is it. Perfect your presentation and fish with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best retrieve for bream?
Cast tight to structure, let it sink, then slow-roll with tiny lifts. Most bites happen as the tail flutters on the pause.

How light should I go on jigheads?
Use the lightest head that still hits bottom and maintains contact—often #4–#2 in the shallows, heavier in wind or current.

Can I fish it weedless around racks and weed?
Yes. ChinlockZ or SnakelockZ Finesse rigs keep the lure clean while the tail still swims freely.

Does ElaZtech really last longer than regular plastics?
It’s extremely tough and elastic, so you’ll usually land multiple fish per lure and spend less time re-rigging.
