Zman Prawnz Elite Fishing Lure 5 Inch

Big-profile prawn that thumps, rattles and converts barra, mulloway, snapper and jacks when they’re feeding on larger crustaceans.

The Zman Prawnz Elite 5" is a pre-rigged, big-bite soft plastic prawn for serious estuary and inshore anglers who need presence, castability and control around structure. It fishes confidently across mangrove edges, bridge pylons, rock bars, reefs and impoundments where larger predators hunt prawns.

A segmented body, fine legs and antennae deliver realistic quiver on the fall, while the upturned tail presents a natural “tail-up” feeding posture on the pause. The heavier internal 1/2 oz weight gives a stable, straight tracking sink, punches into wind and current, and keeps you in touch in deeper water. Add the subtle glass rattle and you’ve got strike-triggering sound for dirty water, low light and night sessions. Tough, buoyant 10X Tough ElaZtech resists tearing and floats the tail, and a strong Mustad UltraPoint 5/0 hook provides secure connection and confidence around heavy cover. Tie on, slow the cadence, and let the Prawnz Elite do the convincing.

Perfect for anglers targeting trophy fish that respond to a larger prawn profile, this lure delivers refined action, reliable hardware and session-saving versatility. Step up your presentation and stick your next metre-class fish with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose the 5" Prawnz Elite over the smaller sizes?
Choose the 5" when fish are keyed on larger prawns, when you need longer casts, faster sink or more presence in current—ideal for barra, mulloway and jacks.

What tackle suits this big prawn soft plastic?
A 4–10 kg estuary/inshore rod, 3000–4000 spin (or 150–200 size baitcaster), 15–30 lb braid and 20–40 lb fluorocarbon leader offers control and abrasion resistance.

Does it work in dirty water or at night?
Yes. The internal glass rattle helps fish locate the lure. Use pause-heavy retrieves and high-contrast colours to maximise visibility and signal.

Any tips for caring for ElaZtech bodies?
Store separately from standard PVC plastics and avoid high heat in the car. Rinse hardware after saltwater sessions to maintain the hook and rattle.
