Soft Bait Jig Heads NZ – Match Your Soft Baits for Maximum Performance
A quality soft bait jig head is just as important as the soft bait itself. The correct combination of hook size and weight helps your lure sink naturally, stay in the strike zone longer, and achieve the action needed to attract fish.
Whether you're targeting snapper over shallow sand flats, working soft baits around reefs, or fishing deeper channels and workups, choosing the right jig head can dramatically improve your results.
How to Choose the Right Jig Head
- Light Weights (1/8oz – 1/4oz): Ideal for shallow water, slow sink rates, and finesse presentations.
- Medium Weights (3/8oz – 1/2oz): Popular all-round options for most New Zealand soft bait fishing situations.
- Heavy Weights (5/8oz+): Better for deeper water, strong currents, and fishing directly below the boat.
- Smaller Hooks: Match smaller soft baits and target species with smaller mouths.
- Larger Hooks: Designed for bigger soft plastics and larger predatory fish.
