How to Rig Flexible Saltwater Lures







Soft lures are also known as soft baits. As the name implies, these baits are made of a soft, supple rubber, which gives them a soft feel. Flexible lures are used for freshwater and saltwater fishing and are available in many shapes, sizes, and shapes. Rigging soft lures for saltwater fishing depends on what you are fishing for, where you are fishing and whether you need to get the bait on the bottom or near the surface.

Instructions:

#1 Tie your soft bait lure picked up to the end of the line with a Palomar knot (see Resources). Select a soft lure based on what species for which fishing is most likely to strike successively. For example, if you go for stripers, consider a sea shad or shrimp style lure soft. These imitate the shad or shrimp and attract the strike striper. Select your lure according to food preference prey species.

#2 Add split shot platters, or tie pyramidal or barrel lures to the line, usually between 12 to 24 inches above the lure depending on the depth you want to get the soft bait.

#3 Experiment with adjustable lure hooks. Flexible lures are designed to add or remove hooks, allowing you to customize the lure for your saltwater purposes. Use larger-sized hook hooks for larger species, such as mackerel or stripers, and smaller hooks on soft lures for coastal species such as trout, bass, or perch.

#4 Change the bait color soft lure. Change the soft lure of a different colored lure depending on the season and species for which you are fishing. A species could hit in a color during the summer and a different color in the fall. Be prepared to try different soft lures throughout the fishing season until you find the right one for the fish.
