Atomic Plazos APF 3" Fat Grub

The Atomic APF (Atomic Polymer Flex) Fat Grub is a proven fish catcher and one of the most effective soft plastics ever developed for Australian conditions. Now part of the premium Atomic Polymer Flex (APF) range, it features a softer, more responsive material that enhances tail action and delivers a natural presentation even at the slowest retrieve speeds.

The standout feature of the Fat Grub is its oversized curl tail, which creates maximum movement with minimal input. Whether rigged on a jig head, fished weightless or worked vertically beneath the boat, the tail continues to pulse and swim enticingly through the water.

The neutral buoyancy of the APF material allows the lure to sink naturally through the water column, making it particularly effective in deeper water where highly buoyant TPE materials can create an unnatural sink. This combination of natural action and controlled sink makes the Fat Grub an excellent choice when fish are feeding cautiously or conditions are tough.

The iconic model has developed a reputation as a true all-rounder, with many anglers considering it the one soft plastic they would take if limited to a single lure. Effective on everything from bream, flathead and bass through to a wide range of estuary and freshwater species, the Fat Grub excels when fished slowly and methodically.

When other lures fail to draw a response, the Atomic APF (Atomic Polymer Flex) Fat Grub is often the lure that gets the bite.

WHEN TO TIE ONE ON

The Atomic Fat Grub is a wider profile curl tail lure. It is capable of being used at multiple retrieve speeds but responds best to bigger movements. It has to be rigged on a jighead or worm hook and will be most effective in estuaries for bream and impoundments for bass.

HOW TO USE

• The paddle tail has to be rigged on a jighead. Make sure it is rigged straight for the most lifelike action.

• Use a loop knot for the best action. It allows the lure to swim freely.

• It can be allowed to sink and then wound steadily where the tail will twirl in the water attracting predatory fish.

• Fish will often hit it on the drop.

THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE

• The oversized curl tail provides enticing action on any retrieve and works extremely well when jigged vertically.

• When used with an Atomic Seekerz jighead it will sit upright with the tail working at rest.
