The benefits of using soft plastics for fishing

Using soft plastic lures offers several benefits, making them a go-to choice for many anglers. Let's explore some of these advantages:

• Realistic appearance: Soft plastic lures are designed to mimic the appearance and movement of natural prey species. They often have lifelike details like scales, fins, or appendages, which make them highly attractive to predatory fish. The realistic appearance of these lures increases the chances of enticing strikes.
• Lifelike action: Soft plastics have a soft, pliable texture that allows for natural movement in the water. When properly rigged and retrieved, they can imitate live bait's swimming, darting, or wiggling motions. This lifelike action triggers fish's predatory instincts, making them more likely to strike.
• Durability: These lures are generally more durable than live bait or other types of artificial lures. Depending on the material used, they can withstand repeated use, bites, and strikes without easily tearing or losing their effectiveness. This durability translates into cost savings as you can use a single lure for multiple fishing sessions.
• Cost-effective: Soft plastic lures tend to be more cost-effective than live bait or some other artificial lures. They’re often sold in bulk packs, allowing you to stock up on various colours and designs without breaking the bank.
• Scent and flavour options: Many soft plastic lures are designed to be infused with scents or attractants. Adding fish-attracting scents or flavours to the lure can increase the chances of enticing strikes, especially in situations where fish may be less active or feeding selectively.

A soft plastic lure can attract a huge range of different species, like snapper, bream and flathead — whether you’re river or rock fishing, we’ve got countless options available to increase your chances of a catch. Shop in-store or online at Hot Tackle!
