Soft Baits: Versatile Artificial Baits for Spinning Fishing
Soft baits are silicone lures used in spin fishing, both in saltwater and freshwater, ideal for catching a wide range of predatory fish. Their effectiveness comes from their extremely natural movement, made possible by the elasticity of the material they are made of.
Main Features of Soft Baits:
Natural Movement: Thanks to the flexibility of the silicone, these lures faithfully imitate natural prey, stimulating the predatory instinct of fish.
Variety of Colors: Available in bright or natural shades, soft baits can be chosen based on the environmental conditions and feeding habits of the target species.
Different Shapes: There are various types of soft baits, including shads, creatures, stick baits, craws, frogs, grubs and swimbaits, each designed for specific fishing situations and prey.
Ecological Innovations:
While plastic is not environmentally friendly, in recent years companies have developed biodegradable compounds, reducing the environmental impact of rubber baits.
Recovery and Trigger Techniques:
Soft baits generally have a slower retrieve than hard baits, allowing for a more realistic action. Thanks to their anti-snag properties, especially those rigged with a single hook (Texas rig), they can be cast into areas with dense vegetation or submerged structures.
Threatened Species:
At sea: Soft baits such as shad or stick bait are widely used for sea bass fishing.
In Freshwater: They are effective for species such as Black Bass, pike, zander, catfish, asp and trout.
Conclusion:
Soft baits are a fundamental component in every spinner's arsenal, offering versatility and realism in presentation, adapting to different fishing conditions and predator targets.
