Why Softbaits Work So Well for Perch and Zander

Softbaits allow you to:

✔ fish slow and subtle when predators are inactive
✔ imitate natural prey like minnows and small baitfish
✔ adjust size and profile to match feeding conditions
✔ trigger bites with natural movement
✔ fish shallow or deep with the right jig head

Softbaits are number one for pressured zander and perch, especially in clear or cold water.
