Best Lures for Kingfish
Catching kingfish on lures is not a game for beginners. These fast, aggressive predators require steady technique and reliable fishing equipment. You'll need specialised fishing lures that can withstand this fish's brutal strikes and powerful runs, and Fishing Superstore has plenty of hardworking kingfish lures to choose from.
Our collection of fishing lures for kingfish offers all the popular designs that attract these oceanic hunters. Each lure has been hand-selected for its practical benefits, including:
- Realistic presentation. Our kingfish lures feature meticulously detailed finishes that mimic natural prey, from fleeing baitfish to injured squid. With flexible bodies and lifelike details, these lures create a convincing imitation that kingfish can't resist. Many lures are also designed to deliver an erratic swimming action, mimicking the unpredictable movement of distressed prey—something kingfish are instinctively drawn to.
- Strategic colours. Kingfish have keen eyesight and are very intelligent, but you can fool them with the right lure colour. At Fishing Superstore, you'll find the best lures for kingfish in attractive colours, from the high-visibility patterns to the natural, subdued finishes. Our comprehensive colour selection ensures you're equipped for varying water clarity and light conditions.
- Durable construction. Kingfish's fierce strikes and intense runs can destroy weak lures. That's why our selection of the best kingfish lures offers only high-quality, durable options with reinforced components. Our lures feature corrosion-resistant hardware, heavy-duty rings, tough composite bodies and razor-sharp hooks—all carefully designed to create reliable hooksets and reduce the chance of fish escaping. Perfect for catching saltwater hard-fighting fish.

People Also Ask
Most anglers have success using metal jigs, stickbaits, and surface poppers. Kingfish are aggressive feeders, so a fast retrieve with a shiny or erratic lure often gets the strike.
To catch kingfish on lures, follow these guidelines:
- Select large, sturdy lures that resemble the kingfish's prey, which include metal jigs, poppers, or stickbaits. Opt for colours that match the local baitfish.
- Cast your lures around structures like reefs, wrecks, and drop-offs, where kingfish often hunt. Retrieve your lures at a fast and erratic pace to entice aggressive strikes.
- When targeting surface-feeding kingfish, use topwater lures like poppers and surface walkers, employing quick and rhythmic movements.
- Be vigilant and react quickly when a kingfish strikes, as they often attack with speed and force.
Remember that kingfish are powerful fighters, so you’ll need strong and well-maintained fishing gear: heavy-duty lines, sharp hooks, and durable lures that can withstand the fish’s strength.
The best lure colours for kingfish are silver, green and yellow, as they reflect light and catch the kingfish’s attention. Using glitter or sparkling lures is also a great option for catching kingfish.
Large stickbaits, poppers, and jigs work best for attracting big kingy. For trophy fish, use lures between 100mm and 200mm.
One of the best rigs for kingfish is a single-strand wire or heavy fluorocarbon leader tied to a stickbait, popper, or jig. Many anglers complain that kingfish can take out the middle of their bait and never get hooked, so a stinger rig may be a practical solution.
When jigging for king, use knife jigs or metal jigs in the 100-300g. Drop your jig to the depth where kingfish are holding and make sharp, aggressive lifts and winds to mimic fleeing bait. Vary your speed and rhythm to trigger strikes. When you feel weight or resistance, set the hook firmly and be prepared for powerful runs.
