When to Use 8.5cm Paddle Tail Soft Baits in New Zealand

The attached image shows 8.5cm paddle tail soft baits, which are a versatile and effective choice for both saltwater and freshwater fishing in New Zealand. These lures are designed with a ribbed body and a paddle-shaped tail that creates a lifelike swimming motion, making them highly attractive to a wide range of predatory fish species.

What Are Paddle Tail Soft Baits?

Paddle tail soft baits, like the ones shown, feature a wide, paddle-shaped tail that creates vibration and movement in the water. This motion mimics the swimming action of baitfish, which can trigger strikes from predatory fish. These lures can be rigged on a jig head or used with a weighted hook, making them suitable for various fishing techniques, including slow retrieves, jigging, and casting.

When to Use 8.5cm Paddle Tail Soft Baits in New Zealand Waters

These paddle tail soft baits are excellent for use in a wide variety of fishing environments, including coastal waters, estuaries, rivers, and lakes. They are highly effective in targeting species such as:

Snapper: Found in coastal areas and estuaries.
Kahawai: Often located in harbours, rivers, and near the shore.
Trevally: Common in rocky coastal areas and deeper waters.
Trout: Found in freshwater lakes and rivers.

The 8.5cm size makes these soft baits perfect for targeting medium-sized fish. The paddle tail produces a swimming action that works well in a range of water depths, making them ideal for use in both shallow and deeper water conditions.

Guide to Using Colours in NZ Waters

The colour of the soft bait can significantly impact your success, depending on the water conditions and target species. Here’s a guide to when and why to use each colour:

White/Glitter: A versatile choice for clear water or slightly murky conditions. The glitter reflects light, mimicking small baitfish, which is ideal for Trout and Snapper.
Black: Best used in low-light or nighttime conditions. Black creates a strong silhouette in the water, making it highly effective for Snapper and Kahawai in deeper water or shaded areas.
Red: Perfect for murky water or when fishing in deeper waters, as the red colour becomes more visible in low-visibility conditions. Ideal for attracting Trevally and Snapper.
Green: A great option for freshwater fishing, especially in lakes and rivers. Green lures are excellent for targeting species like Trout and Perch.
Blue: Best used in clear water and bright conditions, especially when fishing for Kahawai or Snapper in coastal waters.
Yellow: Highly visible in clear water or on bright, sunny days. Yellow soft baits are effective for Kahawai and juvenile Snapper.

Techniques for Using 8.5cm Paddle Tail Soft Baits

Slow Retrieves: Retrieve the lure slowly to mimic the natural swimming action of a baitfish. This is effective for Snapper and Kahawai in coastal areas.
Jigging: Attach the lure to a jig head and bounce it off the bottom, which is highly effective for bottom-feeding species like Snapper.
Casting: Cast the bait into shallow water or near structures, and retrieve it slowly. This is great for targeting Trevally and Kahawai in estuaries and coastal waters.

Conclusion

The 8.5cm paddle tail soft baits are a versatile and essential tool for New Zealand anglers. Their paddle tail design creates a lifelike swimming action, making them ideal for attracting a variety of predatory fish. By selecting the right colour and using the appropriate technique, you can greatly improve your fishing success, whether targeting Snapper, Kahawai, or Trout in New Zealand waters.
