Why Choose These Soft Plastic Worm Lures?
Natural worms form part of the freshwater food chain. Therefore, this familiar shape can appeal to several fish species.
The narrow body responds to light current and gentle rod-tip movements. As a result, anglers can create action without retrieving quickly.
The 30-piece pack also provides plenty of replacements. This is useful when fish damage a bait or it becomes snagged.
Which New Zealand Fish Could They Target?
| Target fish | Suggested rig | Where to try them | Suggested presentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redfin perch | Small jig head or drop-shot rig | Weed beds, lake edges and submerged structure | Use short movements followed by pauses |
| Trout | Light jig head or lightly weighted hook | Lake margins, canals and deeper river pools | Retrieve slowly with gentle lifts |
| Tench | Light running rig or float rig | Weedy margins and soft-bottomed lakes | Present close to the bottom |
| Other coarse fish | Float, drop-shot or lightly weighted rig | Ponds, lakes and slow-moving water | Adjust the presentation for local conditions |
Fish species and permitted methods vary between waterways. Therefore, always check current local fishing regulations before use.
How to Rig the Worm Baits
Small Jig Head
Thread the lure straight along a small jig hook. Keep the body centred so it moves naturally.
Cast near weed edges or structure. Then, retrieve with slow lifts, short turns of the reel and regular pauses.
Drop-Shot Rig
Nose-hook one worm above a drop-shot weight. This allows the bait to move while remaining close to the bottom.
Use small rod-tip movements instead of pulling the rig quickly. This method can work well around lake structure.
Lightly Weighted Rig
Use a small hook with minimal weight. The lure can then fall slowly through the water.
This presentation may suit cautious fish in shallow or clear conditions.
Float Rig
The worm can also be presented beneath a small float where regulations allow. Adjust the depth to fish near weed or bottom structure.
How to Create Natural Movement
- Rig the lure straight to prevent unwanted spinning.
- Cast near likely fish-holding areas.
- Allow the bait to sink to the required depth.
- Move the rod tip gently to make the body wriggle.
- Pause regularly because fish may strike a stationary bait.
- Retrieve slowly and watch the line for subtle movement.
Where to Use Them
These baits suit lakes, ponds, canals and slower river sections. They can also be worked around weed beds and submerged timber.
However, they are primarily freshwater baits. Larger paddle-tail or baitfish-shaped lures will usually suit NZ saltwater fishing better.
Benefits of the 30-Piece Pack
- Provides replacement baits after bites or snags
- Allows anglers to test several rigging methods

- Can be shortened when a smaller bait is required
- Useful for both shore-based and boat fishing
Important Use Information
- Check the lure sits straight before casting.
- Select hook and weight sizes for the target species.

- Keep the scented lures sealed between fishing trips.
- Do not assume artificial bait is permitted in every trout water.
- Check current regional fishing rules before heading out.
- Keep the product away from children and pets.
