Sea Fishing Soft Bait Lures
Soft plastic or rubber lures are commonly used when targeting predatory fish species such as pollock, bass or cod from both boat and shore. Soft baits are designed to mimic small prey fish species and sandeels that predatory fish eat naturally and fool them to bite. Soft plastics often feature a plastic paddle tail or curl tail at the end that moves frantically when the lure is retrieved through the water. This gives off vibrations and mimics a fleeing or wounded prey fish which gets the attention of predatory species.
Soft plastic lures are commonly rigged on a weighted jig head with a large single hook or some feature internally moulded weights and hooks. The jig head gives the angler weight to cast the lure and helps it sink down to the required depth. Lighter jig heads are ideal for shallower water whilst heavier heads will get the lure down in deep water. Some lures have very heavy jig heads and are normally used from a boat where they’re lowered over the side. Unweighted lures are also available and these are normally fished behind a weight further up the line or can be used behind a float in shallow water.
