Best Fishing Soft Plastic Lures of 2025

"I can't express how many bass I’ve caught using these. They simply work. I prefer using a larger jig head to let them sink and then employ a lift-and-drop method, or I just reel them in slowly. Either way, I've landed some excellent bass! Highly recommended!"

"These Yum Fingers are fantastic, especially for the price! The quality and durability are consistent with what I expect. I love the color, and the bag size is perfect for splitting up. I transfer them to a Ziploc bag and add fish attractants. They work as they should! Fish on!"

"My go-to is the Watermelon Red Flake 5 inch Yum for bass fishing. I use flipping, dropshot, Carolina Rig, and Wacky techniques, and this color and size consistently catch fish! The package of 100 for $27.99 was a steal, especially compared to the usual store prices. I’m probably fishing too much!"

“I can always trust Gary Yamamoto baits to catch bass. These senko worms are especially effective when Texas rigged. I’ve found the sparkly colors work best on sunny days. I usually go for the 4-inch ones, but for deep fishing, the 5-inch works wonders too. This is my favorite bass bait!”

“While fishing in a neighborhood pond, I’ve had great success with these worms. I’ve caught several bass and catfish, though I’ve noticed they tend to break after a few catches. That said, I’m going through them quickly!”

“The Yamamoto senko is simply the best senko! It has a perfect wiggle and the bass can’t resist it. They’re not the most durable, but the way they attract fish makes it worth it. I’ll definitely buy them again!”

"I fish in a Tannic river in Minnesota, and the Small mouth bass LOVE these lures. I caught several 4-5 LB Bass this year using these lures. The Blue bug color has been highly effective for our stained water this fall. My only concern is that they aren't very durable."

"The Strike King Rage Tail Craw is a killer bait! The action in the water is unreal, with the claws fluttering naturally to attract fish. I've had great success catching bass, especially during the spawn. The durability is impressive too—each bait holds up for multiple catches. Highly recommend for any angler looking to up their game!"

"These lures have become my go-to for bass; they always help me catch good fish. They are also great for finesse, and I've caught both a bass and a pike with them. They are durable enough, but I’ve had a couple of claws bitten off."

"These lures work well for me. Not the best, but a solid addition to my lure collection."

"I haven't had luck catching fish yet, but they look fantastic and swim well."

"I highly recommend these lures! On my first cast in saltwater, a trout hit it hard!"

"I really enjoy this little fluke style bait; it imitates the Shad perfectly where I fish, and I appreciate its durability and elasticity. It lasts quite a long time."

"I got these for dropshotting in the winter when fish are suspended. They float well when dead sticking. I wouldn't be surprised if Strike King contracts Zman to make these; the quality is very good."

"I’m very pleased with the swimbaits and look forward to testing them this evening. The Arkansas Shiner color is perfect, and I expect to catch many fish thanks to their toughness and stretch."

"I was blown away by how realistic these baits look! Although I’m still testing their durability, they initially seemed great."

"Initially, I had doubts about these baits, but for 50 pieces, the price was hard to beat. A few eyes came off, but it didn't impact the bait's effectiveness. I caught a 6lb largemouth bass on my first try, proving these baits are truly effective! Since then, I've been reeling in bass and other fish consistently. I highly recommend them, especially for those on a budget!"

"These minnows are incredibly lifelike and blend well with my local fishing spots. However, I noticed that the action isn’t as good as I hoped."

"I regularly kayak along the coast of NC, and I caught more redfish, blues, and speckled trout with these lures than any others combined. Matched them with a trout eye jig, and it was magical!"

"I'm a huge fan of Z-man products. The Minnowz are perfect swimbaits, especially with their dorsal fin that hides the hook. They’re incredibly strong and last for days. I only need to replace them when I lose the rig, not because they wear out!"

"I purchased these for my sister's birthday, and she was thrilled with them. Exactly what I was looking for!"

"I received this set on Monday, and in just three days, I've caught six Bass. They work great, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone."

"I was really looking forward to these, but upon opening, I found a few of the Soft Stick Worms to be damaged. They almost looked used, like a Tube Rattle had been inside them. I was disappointed since this was my first purchase from this seller. However, I do appreciate the nice box they come in, and the worms that are in good condition look amazing! The hooks and weights are the perfect size for a Ned Rig. I can't wait to give them a test run soon!"

"This kit is nice! I like the weights as they help me get close to the bottom quicker. The selection of colors is good, and I caught several fish with the blue worms on the first day. I would definitely recommend this product."

"I really appreciate the great size and action of these worms. They seem to be good quality for the price, and the bass absolutely love them. They're also easy to use, so I'm definitely planning to buy more!"

"As someone new to fishing, I stumbled upon these worms and I've caught every fish so far with them! I started with Red Shad and just picked up Green Pumpkin and Blue Flake. The bass go crazy over these! I highly recommend using them without a bobber and just letting them fall—you'll thank me!"

"I think the bass enjoy these as much as the expensive options. They look great and have nice action in the water. Just ensure you use the right hooks for the best presentation!"

"I've used five different colors, and they all catch fish. I’ve caught largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill. My preferred technique is on a 1/32 or 1/16 widegap jig head with the lure set up weedless. They perform well in clear water and don’t spook heavily pressured fish. If you enjoy finesse fishing, these soft plastics are a must-have!"

"In Idaho, both small and large mouth bass absolutely smash these baits. I like to rig them on a ned rig, and they shimmer beautifully. After multiple bites, they hold up well, making them quite effective!"

"I started fishing this summer, primarily in creeks around middle TN, and these quickly became my go-to lures for catching bass and even sunfish. I rig them Texas weedless with a 1/0 or 2/0 offset hook, and I’ve found bubblegum swirl and mud fleck to be the most consistent colors for my area."
