Zman Prawnz Fishing Lure 2.5 Inch

Made to fool fussy Aussie bream and flathead with a bite-size prawn profile, natural glide and ultra-soft 10X Tough ElaZtech action.

The Zman Prawnz 2.5 Inch is a compact soft plastic prawn for anglers who need subtle, realistic presentations in estuaries, canals and flats. It shines on pressured fish and clear water, delivering a lifelike glide, quivering legs and a quick flick from the segmented tail that triggers instinctive eats from bream, flathead, whiting and mangrove jack.

Built from Zman’s buoyant 10X Tough ElaZtech, the Prawnz stays soft and lively yet resists tearing, so you catch more fish per lure. The material’s natural float helps it hover and “stand up” on the pause, while the flat fan tail adds a controlled, horizontal slide that keeps it in the strike zone longer. Rig it lightly on a small jighead for open water, or go weedless to slip through weed, racks and rock with minimal fouling.

If “everything eats a prawn”, this is the finesse profile that convinces them. Tie one on, fish it slow and close to structure, and watch cautious fish switch on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best retrieve for bream on the Prawnz?
Cast tight to structure, let it sink on semi-slack line, then give two short twitches and pause. Most bites happen on the glide or as it stands up.

Can I fish it weedless around racks and weed?
Yes. A small weedless hook or hinged weedless system keeps the lure clean while the tail still flicks freely.

What jighead sizes work well?
Use the lightest head that still reaches bottom—typically small #2 to #1 jigheads for shallow flats, stepping up in current or depth.

Does ElaZtech really last longer than regular plastics?
It’s extremely tough and stretchy, so it handles pickers and toothy hits better, meaning fewer lure changes and more fishing time.
