Fishing Octopus Lures – Soft Baits for Jigging & LRF
TL;DR: Silicone soft baits that imitate small octopus. Perfect for LRF, light jigging, spinning and vertical techniques. Realistic tentacle action that triggers predator strikes. Wide range of sizes with UV and glow colors.
Why Octopus Soft Baits?
Octopus fishing lures are soft baits made from silicone or elastic polymers, designed to mimic small cephalopods. Their free-moving tentacles pulse naturally in the water, creating a lifelike and highly attractive presentation for a broad range of predators.
Main Features
- Material: Durable, supple silicone for natural movement.
- Shape: Bulbed head with realistic tentacles that flutter on the fall and retrieve.
- Sizes: From micro (LRF) to larger models for jigging or trolling.
- Colors: Natural, UV and glow finishes for day or night sessions.
Rigging Methods
- Jighead: Ideal for LRF or spinning; adjust weight to depth and current.
- Assist on a Jig: As a teaser/skirt on vertical or slow-jigging metal jigs.
- Bottom Rigs: In vertical rigs with or without natural bait for bottom species.
