Octopus fishing lure

The octopus, a soft bait for freshwater predators

As previously mentioned, octopus soft lures are designed to mimic an 8-armed mollusk. In freshwater, it's hard to come across this kind of specimen. Nevertheless, its effectiveness is not to be questioned. In fact, the many legs of the octopuses emit numerous vibrations. These stand out significantly from those usually perceived by predators.

Also, this type of soft lure is also used for weight palette rigs. The weight palette rig, well known by pike and zander fishermen, can be accessorized with an octopus to optimize its attractiveness. Octopuses are also found for catfish fishing, a species very sensitive to vibrations.

The catfish, a lover of octopuses

Among the fish likely to fall for the charms of octopus soft lures, the catfish. This large predator, almost blind, is very fond of this type of soft bait. They are often found as a teaser on rigs designed for worm fishing. Their role as a teaser clearly highlights the qualities of the octopus.

The presence in the water of this soft bait is easily spotted by predators in addition to the vibrations it generates with its many legs. It is very popular for catfish fishing in hotspots due to its effectiveness on picky fish.
