Types of Soft Plastic Fishing Lures
There are many different styles of soft plastics, including curl tails, paddle tails, jerkbaits, frogs, worms and crustaceans. Selecting the right soft plastic, style and colour can seem confusing with the very wide range of styles and colours available. However fishing with soft plastics in both fresh and saltwater applications can be very rewarding.
WORM or CURL TAIL PLASTICS:
Some of the earliest soft plastics were designed with curl tails and they are still popular today, due to their lively action and ease of use. An excellent plastic for beginners and deadly in the hands of experienced anglers, curl tails will swim on the drop and respond to a simply slow retrieve, or one punctuated with pauses or hops. In the water curl tails can be used to imitate baitfish, worms and crustaceans.
Popular curl tail plastics or worm lures consist of a slender body resembling a worm and can also sport a curly tail that flutters or vibrates when the plastic lure is moved through the water. The Maxcatch Curly 61mm is a good example of a very successful curl tail plasic lure with a swimming action that immitates the action of worms of small bait fish and will attract the attention of target fish. Curl tail plastics are available in a range of sizes, shapes and colours and are normally rigged with a jig head hook. Jigs heads can be selected with differing weights and configurations to control depth of the lure and anti-snagging.
SHAD or PADDLE TAIL PLASTICS
The soft plastic shad body or paddle tail is very popular for both fresh water and salt water tfishing. These soft plastic lures are a very straight-forward bait to fish with and will catch just about any fish species that swims. Although there are some variations in style, shape and size, Shad or Paddle Tail bodies can range in colour from translucent to solid white or solid black, to any variation or mixture of colours in between.
Paddle tails get their name from a tail that moves from side to side - 'paddles' - as the soft plastic is cast and retrieved. The paddle tail profile mimics baitfish, with a variety of sizes and profiles available to match the hatch, including smaller profiles to large lures around 8" or bigger. Paddle tails are less popular when targeting fish in deeper water and faster currents offshore as the tail action slows down the sink rate of the plastic lure. Bream, flathead, bass and trevally, will respond well to the smaller style lures while mangrove jack, barramundi, tailor and salmon will take a medium sized lure and larger Paddle Tails or Shad are also ideal for mulloway, barramundi, Murray cod and other larger predators.
Some paddle tail soft plastic lure will come fitted with hooks such as the Truscend Soft T Shad 90 or the Truscend Soft T Shad 120 while others such as the Maxcatch RY 18 Paddle Tail can be rigged with your favourite jig head depending on your stye of fishing and target species
GRUB or JERK BAIT PLASTICS
Jerk bait style plastics have little action of their own, hence the 'jerk' required to get the plastic to dart around like a wounded or fleeing baitfish. Generally slender and baitfish shaped, jerk baits don't have a curl or paddle tail to create action, so the bulk of the action needs to be imparted by the angler. The softer the plastic jerk bait the easier it would be to get movement or swim action from the lure, so small twitches and hops will see the tail working seductively and likewise a stiffer plastic lure will require the angler to impart more action in the plastic lure to get a similar response. Jerk baits also lend themselves to high speed retrieves as they track well, rather than spinning or 'blowing out', with the straight tail vibrating to attract predators. Jerk baits have also long been a go-to plastic for offshore anglers as the lack of action means a faster sink rate. Check out the Maxcatch RY112 Grub for a great all round grub plastic lure that will attract many fresh and saltwater fish.
CRUSTACEAN SOFT PLASTICS
Crustaceans such as yabbies, cayfish and other smaller shell fish are part of the diet of many fish species and it makes sense that you can imitate a crustacean with a soft plastic. The Truscend Soft Craw is the perfect size at 100mm and is built using a tough degradable soft plastic material ready to take on multiple hits. The realistic shape of this plastic perfectly represents many small crustaceans such as prawn, shrimp, crab, insect or yabby which are on the menu of many fresh and saltwater fish.
Vibration and flutter are created by the legs and body profile and with just a little jerk on the rod, this soft plastic craw lure will appeal as an enticing meal for any hungry fish. Whether you are fishing reefs, rock walls, deep structure or shallow under pontoons the Truscend Soft Craw will become your go-to soft plastic. The Soft Craw has a body design which allows it to be easily rigged with jig head or worm hook.

- The Fish Inc Flanker baitfish lure is available in 2 sizes, the Flanker 85mm and Flanker 155mm. This stickbait is a high speed baitfish that is perfect for species such as bonito, tuna, mackerel, kingfish, tailor, queenfish, salmon trevally and more. It is equally at home being cast off a surf beach or rocks as it is in deep salt water.
- The Fish Inc Wing 120mm stickbait has gone through extensive testing with weight distribution to create a perfectly balanced lure which has resulted in the ultimate action that fish cannot refuse. The Wing is a sinking stickbait which is slim and fast with an erratic action. This lure can be used to fish different depths by adjusting the sinking time and is perfect for a variety of salt water game fish. Fish Inc Right Wing is fitted with Owner single hooks
- New to the range is the Fish Inc Wnglet, also known as the "Little Bullet". This lure is a smaller version of the Wing creating a small profile to match the hatch. It has the identical weight of the Wing at 42grams but instead of the ABS construction it has a solid Zinc body. It casts like a bullet and is perfect for getting that extra distance but also assisting with the sink rate, so can be used to fish a variety of depths depending on your sinking time. Awesome for a variety of predatory fish either shore based or in deeper waters. This lure comes fitted ready for action with #6 quaity Owner trebles. The Fish Inc Winglet 87mm match th hatch lure is available in 6 colours and is perfect for a variety of salt water fish whether from the beach, the rocks or boat
- The Fish Inc Scrum Half 140mm 60g Popper with a profile that is large enough to draw attention of big fish, while still being on the menu for medium species, being only 140mm. This lure is great for smaller game fish in estuaries, open water and sheltered bays. Its large concave mouth moves a lot of water but is still very easy to work because of its smaller size
- The Fish Inc Fly Half 80mm 16g Popper is built tough to punch above its weight and comes fitted with HD Owner trebles. Its unique belly design and balanced weight allows it to be retrieved easily and its internal weight also emits a low audible click when the lure is walked or popped, drawing fish to the lure
- The Fish Inc Prop 140 is a sinking stick bait lure that was built to be slightly larger and heavier than the Wing sinking stickbait lure. A blade on the lower belly ring has been added to give off some extra flash, which also gives the Prop an erratic fall on sinking. This results in a strike before you have even started your retrieve. The Fish Inc Prop 140 can be fished in a variety of ways whether it be a high speed surface retrieve or worked from the depths to the surface. This versatile lure will catch most saltwater game fish's attention. Also available in single hook version as the Fish Inc Tighthead Prop
- The Fish Inc Lock 160mm minnow is a long jerk bait lure that imitates long slender bait fish. The Lock 160 is a versatile bait that can be used to target a wide variety of game fish species. It can be used from both the shore and off a boat and works best with a "jerk, jerk, pause" retrieve. The Lock 160 also has a weight transfer system that allows it to be cast a long way with ease
- The Fish Inc Hooker 160mm Floating surface stickbait is a lure that has proved to have a phenomenal action and works great on a variety of species
- The Fish Inc Hooker 160mm Sinking stickbait lure was originally developed as a surface lure - the floating version. This sinking version has also proved to have phenomenal action and works great on a variety of species. If the surface action has died, why not pick up a sinking version and find the fish that are holding deeper
