Soft Bait FAQs


What are the best types of soft baits for bass fishing?

  • Creature Baits: Include a combination of features from various baits, such as a lizard body with crayfish-styled pinchers and double twister-tail, offering a unique design for high pressure waters.
  • Soft Plastic Jerkbaits: Known for mimicking injured baitfish, with the Zoom Super Fluke being a notable example that can be twitched or jerked for erratic action​​​​.
  • Swimbaits: The Keitech Fat Swing Impact is highlighted for its realistic swimming action, made more appealing by a two-tone injection process and impregnated with squid scent to attract fish​​​​.
  • Ribbon Tail Worms: These worms, like the Berkley PowerBait Power Worm, are celebrated for their effectiveness in various fishing conditions, offering versatility and attractiveness through motion and scent​​​​.

How do you rig soft baits for different fishing scenarios?

The rigging method often depends on the bait type and the targeted fishing scenario. For example, soft plastic jerkbaits like the Zoom Super Fluke can be rigged weightless for surface twitching, while swimbaits like the Keitech Fat Swing Impact work well on jig heads for deeper water.

Why are scents and salt impregnation important in soft baits?

Scents and salt impregnation in soft baits, such as those used in Zoom and Keitech baits, are crucial for attracting fish and encouraging them to hold onto the bait longer, increasing the chances of a successful hook-up​.

How do you choose the right colour and size for soft baits?

The choice of colour and size for soft baits should be influenced by the water conditions and the type of fish targeted. Natural, muted colours work well in clear water, while brighter colours can be more effective in stained or dirty water. Size selection should match the forage size that fish are feeding on in the area being fished​.
