Soft Plastic Fishing Lure

Soft plastic lures come in the form of shad bait fish, shrimp, crabs, frogs, worms, minnows, small fish, mullet, lizards, and grubs.

Some soft plastic fishing lures glow in the dark. When a flashlight is held next to the glo bait, the bait absorbs the light energy and glows for several minutes.

Fishing off the Copano Bay Bridge outside of Rockport, Texas at night can produce as many or more strikes as live bait on speckled trout when using glowing plastic grubs. There is nothing more thrilling throwing a plastic worm next to a tree trunk on the shaded side and feel the tap tap bite of a nice size bass.

Fishing soft plastic lures are fun because they can be fished as slow sinking, along the bottom, or retrieved at various speeds, plus they catch fish of almost every species.
