You know those days when the water looks like glass, the fish are clearly there, and yet they treat your lure like it’s a suspicious email link? That’s when you go tiny. The Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure is a 2cm sinking micro soft bait that’s made for finesse bites, pressured venues, and “they’re feeding on tiny stuff” situations where bigger plastics get ignored.
This isn’t a lure you buy to feel like a hero. This is a lure you buy to get bites when your ego is being thoroughly humbled. The whole “whitebait” idea is simple: small, subtle, easy-to-eat. And because the Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure is sinking, you can keep it down in the zone without having to drag it like a brick.
One more thing, mate: because it’s only 2cm, your rigging and your patience matter. If you fish it like a 5 inch swimbait, you’ll get nothing but disappointment and a bruised ego. Fish it like the micro snack it is, and it’ll surprise you.
Why This Lure Works
The Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure works because it matches what a lot of fish actually eat most days: small fry, tiny baitfish, and micro forage. When predators are keyed in on small bait, a big lure can look “wrong” even if your retrieve is perfect.
Micro-soft baits also shine in pressured water because they don’t scream “danger”. They just drift, quiver, and look easy. That sinking action helps too: it keeps the bait down around edges, weed tops, rock seams and dock shade where fish sit and wait.
And here’s the sneaky bit: tiny baits get eaten by everything. Perch will smash it, trout will nip it, bass will hoover it, and in mixed predator water you’ll often get “bonus” fish you weren’t even targeting.
How To Fish It
There are a few ways to fish the Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure properly. Keep it light, keep it controlled, and stop trying to make it do backflips.
1) Micro jighead (the easiest, most consistent)
Rig it on a tiny jighead and fish it like a little baitfish that’s trying not to die. Cast, let it sink a touch, then do a slow swim with little pauses. The pause is where the magic happens. It drops, it stalls, and fish nip it.
2) “Hover and shake” (deadly in clear water)
Cast it out, let it sink, then barely move it. Just tiny rod tip shakes while the bait stays in one area. This is proper finesse fishing and it’s rude how well it works on pressured fish.
3) Drift it in current (rivers, canals, run-outs)
In moving water, you can let the Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure drift naturally with occasional tiny lifts. Fish sit facing into flow and wait for easy meals. Give them one.
4) Dropshot tag bait (when you want ultimate control)
If you like finesse rigs, the bait is small enough to make a brilliant dropshot tag bait. Keep it just off bottom and shake it gently. For a simple, practical rundown of how finesse rigs get used for pressured fish, Wired2Fish have loads of technique guides you can copy without pretending you invented them. This dropshot guide is a solid start.
Whatever rig you choose, the rule stays the same: you are not power fishing this. If your retrieve looks like you’re starting a lawnmower, you’re doing it wrong.
When To Use It
The Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure is a proper “problem solver” in these scenarios:
- Clear water: When fish can see everything, subtle wins.
- High pressure: Busy venues, canals, park lakes, anywhere fish have been educated by pain.
- Cold water: When they will not chase, but they will still peck at an easy meal.
- Small baitfish present: If you see tiny fry flicking, match that size instead of guessing.
- Finicky perch and trout: Micro baits are basically cheating on these species.
If you want to browse other soft plastics on your site that cover the “bigger meal” end of the spectrum, your soft plastics category is the quickest rabbit hole. And if you want a slightly bigger sinking tremor style bait with the same “finesse bites” vibe, the Supercontinent Tipsy Fish Soft Bait is a nice step up in size and presence.
Does It Actually Catch Fish?
Yes, the Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure will catch fish, but only if you accept what it is: a micro bite-getter. It is not designed to “call” fish from miles away. It is designed to look easy and get nipped, then eaten.
If your venue has perch, small bass, trout, or even just generally pressured fish, a tiny sinking soft bait is exactly the sort of thing that turns follows into commits. Bigger baits are brilliant when fish are aggressive. When they are not, micro finesse is how you still put fish on the bank.
Also, you get 50 pieces. That is important because fishing micro tackle around cover means you will donate a few to the fish gods. Do not cry. It happens to everyone. Even the lads who pretend it does not.
Gear Pairing
To fish the Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure properly, you want light gear that can cast tiny weights and still keep contact.
- Rod: Light or medium-light spinning rod, fast tip for bite detection.
- Reel: 1000 to 2500 size spinning reel with smooth drag.
- Line: Light braid to fluorocarbon leader, or straight light fluorocarbon in clear water.
If you are still building your overall combo and want a simple guide that does not waffle, your shop page is a quick way to browse gear, and for a “bigger baitfish” soft plastic option when you want more thump, the Supercontinent Impact Ring Shad Lure is your step-up swimbait. For finesse variety, your T Tail Soft Bait rainbow pack is another solid “pressured fish” option.

FAQ
Is 2cm not too small?
Not when fish are feeding on tiny fry or they are pressured. Small often gets bites when “normal” lures get ignored.
What is the best rig for it?
Micro jighead first. It is simple, casts well, and lets the bait sink and swim naturally.
Do I need a fluorocarbon leader?
In clear water, yes. Micro baits are about stealth. Braid straight to the lure can cost you bites.
How do I stop missing bites?
Keep a semi-tight line on the fall and watch for ticks or sideways movement. Do a firm sweep hookset, not a full-body haymaker.
What species is it best for?
Perch, trout and finesse bass are the obvious ones, but anything that eats tiny baitfish can and will take it.
Final Verdict
The Supercontinent Whitebait soft lure is a proper finesse weapon for tough days. It is tiny, it is subtle, it sinks, and it gets bites when fish are acting like you personally offended them. Fish it slow, fish it light, and accept that “micro” is sometimes the smartest move you can make.
Go tiny, go patient, and let the fish embarrass themselves for a change.
