The Dirty Prawn

Soft plastic prawn lures for shallow and deep water success

The Dirty Prawn

Soft plastic prawn lures designed to slow things down when it matters.

Dirty Prawns are built for anglers who want a natural, bottom-focused presentation when fish aren’t responding to faster, reaction-style lures. With a realistic prawn profile and proven colour range, they’re designed to be fished tight to structure across a wide range of inshore and offshore conditions.

The range covers everything from first-time use through to full-system setups, allowing you to choose the right option based on where you are in your fishing journey.

If you’re new to Dirty Prawns, start with the Trial Pack to see how they fish and confirm they work in your local waters.
Once you’re ready to explore colour options, the Swingers Reunion pack offers a balanced selection to help you identify confidence colours under different conditions.

When you know what works, single-colour 5-packs make it easy to restock proven performers. For anglers who fish regularly, Bulk Buy packs provide better value and consistent supply across multiple trips.

For a complete, grab-and-go setup, the Dirty Box and Big Dirty Box combine Dirty Prawns with matched jig heads and a tackle tray, removing guesswork and keeping everything organised and ready to fish.

Available in core colours including Bareback, Brown Town, Full Commando, Gold Member, Money Shot, and Red Rocket, the Dirty Prawn range is designed and tested in Australia by experienced anglers who rely on prawn presentations when slowing things down puts more fish in the boat.

Coral Trout with Dirty Tackle Prawn

Choosing the right lure for your fishing. How, where and why.

If you had to choose one lure for a wide range of fishing types the natural look and feel of a soft plastic is the ultimate go to, especially in a prawn profile.

In the creek chasing Barramundi and Mangrove Jack they can be lightly weighted and skip cast and retrieved with a nice flicking action.

Inshore with a bit more weight in the jig head, bouncing it across a nice rubble or weed bottom is perfect for species like Jew, Fingermark, Grunter, Flathead, Trout and the list goes on.

The Dirty Prawn is one versatile little weapon.

Out in the bay with a long cast and a fast retrieve the pelagic fish climb all over them.
Dolphin fishing, mackerel, trevally, tuna all come in hard and if you Let it drift down and work it you will find the big cobia love a prawn snack. Over the wrecks is a great place to get smoked.

Around the reef flicking it off the bottom with a decent size jig head is a Coral trout magnet with the bycatch being every other reef fish you could hope for.
This works from 10 meters to 60 metres plus where the red emperor and Nannys lurk.

On the reef flats with a lighter jig head you are going to have to tighten your drag and hold on as the fish visibly attack an irresistible prawn that they must have. Catching a Giant Trevally over the coral reef flats on a soft plastic is very special for any GT fisherman, there is nothing like the fight you get from a Banger.
