The Best Soft Plastic Lures for Fishing
A brag-worthy fishing trip starts with proper preparation, and a big part of that process is getting the right equipment to fit your technique and the type of fish you are angling for.
Here at Fishing Superstore, we are passionate about giving our loyal customers access to industry-leading fishing gear for the best prices on the market. Our selection of soft plastic lures is no exception—durable, practical and high quality, they are your optimal go-to choice for almost any kind of fish. From lifelike flathead lures to colourful bream soft plastic lures and large lures for snapper, we have them all.
Here are a few more reasons our soft plastic fishing lures are a must in every tackle box:
- Compact and flexible. Soft bait lures are lightweight and mimic movement. They effectively imitate living aquatic creatures of all sorts, so no predatory fish can resist them. Whether you are trying to catch a bass or a barra, a soft plastic lure would be your staple choice.
- Colour variety. Your lure colour should match the lighting and the bottom of the water source you are fishing in, and be attractive to your target fish. Our soft plastic lure collection offers so many shades and colours. Whether you are fishing with soft plastic lures in a muddy lake or fishing at sea, we have a perfect design to suit the conditions.
- Quality. At Fishing Superstore , we value quality above all else, and that applies to all of our collections. Our soft plastic lures can withstand repeated use in the water or inside a fish’s mouth and will last a long time.

Start by selecting the lure size and colour to match your target species and water conditions—bright hues work well in murky water while natural tones excel in clear settings. Rig your soft plastic using the most popular and effective options: the Texas rig, Carolina rig, or drop shot.
Soft plastic lures are versatile and adaptable, so you can try various retrieval speeds and styles to discover the best tactic to catch your target fish. You can start with a slow, steady retrieve with occasional pauses to imitate injured prey or employ a jigging motion by lifting and dropping your rod tip. Some fish prefer motionless bait, so you can use the "dead stick" method by letting the lure sit still after casting. Remember that subtle movements often produce the most realistic action, so avoid excessive manipulation that might appear unnatural to cautious fish.
The best soft plastic lure size is the one that matches the current fishing environment and your target species. For instance, small soft plastics (2-3 inches) excel when targeting smaller fish or fishing in confined spaces. They offer subtle presentations that won't frighten cautious fish. Larger soft plastics (4-8 inches) prove more effective when catching bigger predatory species, fishing in deeper waters, or battling strong currents. However, there is no universal answer, so it's always best to have several options in your tackle box.
Choose a rigging style based on your fishing technique and target species. For example, beginners often rig soft plastic lures on jig heads because it's the simplest and most versatile option. Simply thread your soft plastic onto the jig head hook and ensure it sits straight with the hook point exposed.
For fishing around structure or vegetation, you can use a weedless rig. Thread your soft plastic onto an offset worm hook, then embed the hook point slightly back into the lure's body. It creates a snag-resistant presentation that can be pulled through weeds, brush, and across timber without snagging.
Consider using a weighted hook setup when fishing deeper water or when you need additional casting distance. These specialised hooks feature built-in weights near the eye, providing the necessary mass to reach your target depth and maintain a more natural presentation than a jig head.
Soft plastics are ideal for targeting species like bream, flathead, bass, and snapper. They're highly versatile and mimic live bait exceptionally well.
Yes! Soft plastics are excellent for saltwater fishing and are widely used across Australia for both inshore and offshore species.
You can store soft plastic lures in dedicated plastic storage containers or their original packaging. Keep them out of direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can cause melting or deformation. Consider separating colours and manufacturers for long-term storage, as plastics with incompatible formulations can cause damage to each other.
