The
soft lure zander is most widely used among all the
zander lures, as even though, like all freshwater predators, the
spoon zander or a
swimming fish zander can be effective, but for skimming along the bottom, the main spot where zander are found, it will be much easier with a soft lure. It allows multiple techniques, notably fishing in
vertical and
linear, depending on the type and weight of the jig head you put the lure on, which allows them to be used even at great depths, which is more difficult with a hard lure. Likewise, you can even go drop shot fishing with a soft lure without a jig head.
There are 3 main shapes of soft lures for zander.
First, the zander shad, the most used, with a tail that has a steady beat when reeling.
The
ties or grub, the first ever soft lure in history, which has a light regular beat and which is somewhat making a comeback in anglers' boxes recently, and finally the finesse lure zander, which have a tail that does not "swim," mainly used for vertical fishing.
Whether for perch or zander, the lures are essentially the same by adapting the size, and the most known are the Sandra from
Delalande, the One Up Shad
Sawamura, the Cannibal shad
Savage Gear.
For larger sizes, you can opt for a
soft lure pike, and smaller ones, for a
soft lure perch.
