Store in a tackle tray or resealable bag to keep shapes and scents intact.
Rinse after saltwater use to avoid corrosion on jigheads or hooks.
Avoid mixing different plastics, as some materials may react.
Refresh scented plastics with attractant gels or sprays like Berkley Gulp Gel.

Absolutely. Soft Plastic Lures are one of the easiest and most effective ways for beginners to get into lure fishing. They’re affordable, versatile, and mimic natural baitfish or prawns that Aussie species love to eat. For those just starting, grub-style plastics and paddle tails are perfect because they create their own action in the water with very little effort from the angler.
Do I need scent with soft plastics?
While Soft Plastic Lures work without scent, adding an attractant can dramatically increase your chances of success. Many fish species hold onto scented lures for longer, giving you extra time to set the hook. In Australia, products like Berkley Gulp Gel and Pro-Cure Super Gel are popular because they mimic the natural smell and taste of baitfish, prawns, or crabs.
What species can I catch with soft plastics?
The beauty of Soft Plastic Lures is that they work across a huge range of species. In estuaries, anglers commonly target bream, flathead, and whiting using small grubs and minnows. In freshwater, species like bass, Murray cod, and trout respond well to worm and critter-style plastics.
What’s better – paddle tails or curl tails?
Paddle tail plastics have a flat, paddle-shaped end that creates strong vibrations and a wide swimming action. They are excellent for active predators like barramundi, snapper, or kingfish that respond to bold movements. Curl tail grubs, on the other hand, have a thin tail that flicks with subtle movement. They’re perfect for estuary species like bream, whiting, and trout, especially when the fish are timid or feeding cautiously.
Do soft plastic lures work in saltwater and freshwater?
Yes – one of the biggest advantages of soft plastics is their versatility. In freshwater, anglers use smaller plastics to catch bass, trout, and cod. In saltwater, soft plastics are highly effective in estuaries, bays, and offshore. The key is choosing the right size, colour, and profile for your target species.
How long do soft plastics last?
The lifespan of a Soft Plastic Lure depends on how often it’s used and the species you’re targeting. Small estuary fish may only cause minor wear, allowing plastics to last several sessions. However, aggressive species like flathead, snapper, or barramundi can tear them up after just a few bites.
Do you stock soft plastic lures from major brands?
Yes. At Get Wet Outdoors, we carry a wide range of Soft Plastic Lures Australia from the world’s most trusted fishing brands. These include Berkley Gulp, famous for its scented plastics; Daiwa Baitjunkie, known for high-quality paddle tails and minnows; Atomic, with realistic baitfish profiles; Samaki, offering tough vibes and minnows; and Strike Tiger, popular for trout and finesse fishing.
