Soft plastic lures: grubs, craws, swimbaits and spiders.

A buying guide from Fishing Lures Co. Specs come from each product listing. Updated October 22, 2026.

Soft plastic lures are moulded PVC or silicone baits that you rig on a hook or jig head. The shape sets the action: a curly tail flutters, a paddle tail kicks, a craw crawls and a jointed body swims. We sell them loose in packs, rigged on jig heads, and as single swimbaits.

Which soft plastic shape should I start with?

A pack of simple soft baits in one colour is the cheapest way to try several rigs. Our 7 cm baits come ten to a pack at 2 g each, and our 6 cm T-tail lures come twenty to a pack at 1.4 g each. Both rig on a jig head or a plain hook.

What is the difference between a grub and a paddle tail?

A grub has a thin curling tail that flutters on a slow retrieve or a fall; a paddle tail has a flat tail that kicks when pulled. Our curly tail grubs are 1.6 g and 6 or 9 cm unfolded. Our 10 cm soft swimbaits are 6 g each with a slip mechanism in the body, as the listing describes, in packs of 5 or 10.

When would I use a craw or a spider?

Craw and spider shapes have legs and claws that move with the smallest pull, so they suit slow fishing along the bottom or around cover. Our craw lures are about 8 cm, four to a bag, in nine colours. Our spider lure is 8 cm and 7 g with a hook already fitted, in five colours or a pack of five.

How do I rig a soft plastic?

On a jig head, push the hook point into the nose, run it through the body and bring it out the back so the bait hangs straight. On a plain hook you can rig it the same way or weedless, with the point tucked back into the body. Our jig heads come in 3.5 to 10 g.

Questions people ask

Are soft plastics sold with hooks?

Most are not. The 10-piece baits, 20-piece lures, grubs and craws are bare bodies you rig yourself. The spider lure and the jig-headed grubs come with hooks fitted.

What are they made of?

The listings state PVC for the 10-piece baits, the craws and the jointed swimbait, and soft silicone for the 20-piece T-tail lures.

Can I buy one colour per pack?

Yes. The 10-piece and 20-piece packs, the grubs and the craws are each one colour per pack; you choose the colour as the option.
