Soft Shads & Creature Baits

Welcome to the essential category for Soft Shads & Creature Baits at Hooked Tackle, your primary destination for lifelike soft plastic lures that deliver unbeatable realism and action to trigger strikes from every predator species. Shads and creature baits are the most versatile lures in the modern arsenal, capable of catching fish using jigging, casting, or cranking techniques.

This is the definitive place to shop for Soft Predator Lures UK anglers trust for enticing Pike, Zander, and Perch. We stock a comprehensive and constantly updated range of soft baits from world-renowned lure specialists, including Westin and Fox Rage, ensuring you have the latest designs and proven patterns.

Our comprehensive inventory is expertly structured to cover every type of soft lure presentation:

  • Shad and Paddle Tail Lures: Discover high-action shads (like the Westin ShadTeez and BullTeez series) featuring paddle tails that produce strong vibration and a rolling action on the retrieve, essential for attracting predators from a distance in open water.

  • Creature Baits: Explore highly detailed, multi-limbed soft plastics (such as the Westin Crecraw Creaturebaits) that mimic crayfish, insects, or aquatic invertebrates, proving irresistible to wary Perch and Zander, particularly when fished slowly along the bottom.

  • Curly Tail and Ned Worms: Find subtle, highly effective lures like Curltails and Ned Worms, perfect for slow presentations and tempting inactive fish with minimal, irresistible movement.

  • Loaded Shads: We offer pre-weighted or "loaded" soft shads (such as the Fox Rage Ultra UV Zander Pro Shad Loaded) that are ready to fish straight from the packet, offering excellent casting distance and a perfectly balanced presentation.

We prioritize soft plastics built with durable, fish-attracting materials and in a range of colours, including highly visible Ultra UV options for low-light or murky conditions.
