Softballs – Artificial Bait Balls 💰

Fishing Things Softballs are durable artificial hookbait balls for fast coarse fishing. Their compact, relatively hard structure keeps them securely on the hook and allows them to sink quickly with the rig to the bottom. This makes them suitable for situations where natural bait is easily damaged or needs replacing after every bite.

Use the Softballs as hookbait on their own or combine them with a maggot, caster or other natural bait. Select the different sizes and colours directly via the variant selector, matched to hook size, target fish and underwater visibility. Especially when fishing at speed for roach and bream, the durable material can save valuable time between casts.

Use

Hook the ball centrally onto a suitable hook and push it on far enough to ensure the hook point remains fully exposed. Check how the combination sinks in the water beforehand. You can also place one Softball next to a maggot or caster to combine the durability of artificial bait with the scent and movement of natural bait.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Softball and floating imitation bait?
These Softballs have a firmer structure and are designed to sink quickly with the hook. For a suspended presentation, you need softer or clearly buoyant artificial bait.

Do I need to use a new ball after every fish?
Not necessarily. Check the material and hook hole after every catch. As long as the ball remains firmly attached and undamaged, you can reuse it.

Can I combine Softballs with live bait?
Yes. Combining them with a maggot or caster provides both a natural scent and movement signal, as well as the added visibility and durability of artificial bait.
