Soft Baits

The Predator Soft Baits category brings together the main soft bait families for pike, zander, perch, black bass, catfish, trout and sea bass. Paddle tail shads, finesse baits, grubs, craws, creature baits, worms, soft frogs, soft swimbaits, soft spintails and ready-to-fish lures help adapt your presentation to fish activity.

A paddle tail shad creates vibration and covers many situations on a straight retrieve, vertical presentation or traction fishing. A finesse bait is more subtle and works well for wary fish, clear water or slower presentations. Grubs, craws, creature baits and worms behave differently depending on shape, appendages, softness and rigging style.

The rig changes the lure’s behaviour significantly: a classic jig head for searching water, Texas rig for cover, weightless rig for a natural fall, drop shot to insist on a precise zone, wacky rig for black bass, or shallow rig for larger soft baits and shallow areas.

To choose well, consider target species, depth, current, water clarity, baitfish size, desired speed and fishing pressure. Use the subcategories to refine your choice between shads, finesse baits, grubs, craws, worms, frogs, packs and ready-to-fish soft baits.
