Share
You don’t need a wall of $30 lures to catch quality fish. These five budget lures consistently catch fish across Australia.
1. Paddle Tail Soft Plastics
Deadly on flathead, barra, and snapper. Cheap and versatile.
2. Metal Slices
Tailor, mackerel, tuna—they all smash metals. A budget classic.
3. Shallow Diving Hardbodies
Perfect for barra and jacks in the snags. Plenty of affordable models punch above their weight.
4. Poppers & Stickbaits
Surface explosions are priceless, but your lure doesn’t need to be. Budget poppers still create a commotion.
5. Jigs
From reef fish to pelagics, jigs are must-haves—and best bought in bulk.
