5cm Curly Tail Soft Baits for Fishing in New Zealand

These shorter 5cm curly tail soft baits are a compact and versatile option, widely used in both saltwater and freshwater environments in New Zealand. Their smaller size and curled tail create a lifelike swimming action in the water, making them especially effective for targeting smaller fish species or when you need a more subtle presentation.

What Are 5cm Curly Tail Soft Baits?

5cm curly tail soft baits are soft plastic lures designed with a smaller, curled tail that produces enticing movement in the water. The fluttering tail simulates small prey, attracting predatory fish. These lures can be rigged on a light jig head or used with a hook, making them ideal for various fishing techniques, such as slow retrieves, jigging, and casting in shallow waters.

When to Use 5cm Curly Tail Soft Baits in New Zealand Waters

These smaller lures are perfect for targeting smaller species or for situations where a more delicate presentation is needed. They are highly effective in environments like estuaries, lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, where they can attract species such as:

Yelloweye Mullet: Found in estuaries and coastal areas.
Juvenile Snapper: Common in shallow waters around New Zealand's coast.
Kahawai: Often located in harbours, rivers, and near the shore.
Perch: Found in freshwater lakes and rivers.

These smaller soft baits work well when fish are feeding on smaller prey. The 5cm size also makes them effective in clearer water where fish may be more cautious about larger baits. They can be fished using light tackle to create natural movement, which is particularly effective for targeting smaller or more cautious fish.

Guide to Using Colours in NZ Waters

The colour of your soft bait plays a key role in attracting fish. Here's a guide on when and why to use each colour of 5cm curly tail soft baits:

Orange: A good option for fishing during low-light conditions or in murky water. Use this colour to attract Kahawai and juvenile Snapper in coastal waters.
White: Effective in both clear and slightly murky water. White mimics small baitfish and is ideal for species like Perch and Kahawai in estuaries and rivers.
Pink: Best for clear water and bright days. Pink stands out well and can attract smaller species like Yelloweye Mullet or juvenile Snapper.
Green: Excellent for freshwater environments, particularly in lakes and rivers. Green soft baits are great for targeting Perch and Trout in clearer waters.
Yellow: Ideal for clear water and sunny conditions, yellow soft baits work well for targeting Kahawai and juvenile Snapper.
Red/Glitter: Best for deeper or murky water, red and glitter baits catch the attention of predatory fish like Snapper and Trevally in low-visibility environments.
Silver/Glitter: Perfect for clear water where you're mimicking small baitfish. This colour is effective for targeting Perch and Kahawai in clearer water conditions.

Techniques for Using 5cm Curly Tail Soft Baits

Slow Retrieves: Slowly retrieve the bait to mimic a smaller fish, ideal for targeting Perch and juvenile Snapper.
Jigging: Use these small baits on a light jig head to bounce along the bottom for species like Kahawai or Yelloweye Mullet in estuaries.
Casting: Cast and retrieve these baits in shallow waters, perfect for targeting smaller species near the shore or in rivers.

Conclusion

The 5cm curly tail soft baits are a valuable addition to any angler’s tackle box in New Zealand. Their smaller size makes them ideal for attracting cautious or smaller fish in both saltwater and freshwater environments. By selecting the right colour and using the appropriate technique, these lures can significantly enhance your success on the water, whether you’re targeting juvenile Snapper, Kahawai, or Perch.
