Rapala Soft Peto Lure 18cm

A hard-hitting soft plastic swimbait built to trigger big Murray cod, barra, flathead and jewfish with its wide tail thump and lifelike wounded-baitfish roll.

The Rapala Soft Peto 18cm is a premium soft plastic swimbait designed for anglers chasing serious Australian predators. Combining the proven swimming action of the original X-Rap® Peto with the natural movement and adaptability of soft-plastic construction, this lure produces a wide tail-kicking action matched with a subtle body roll that mimics an injured baitfish.

Its soft, textured body increases vibration, water displacement and realism, while the 3D scale detailing and high-impact colour patterns—such as Fire Tiger—deliver visibility in both clear and murky water. Whether you’re working snag-ridden freshwater rivers, estuarine ledges or shallow inshore reefs, the Soft Peto can be fished confidently at any depth.

From slow rolling along structure to aggressive burn-and-pause retrieves, this lure maintains its strike-provoking action at all speeds. Durable and rigging-friendly, the Rapala Soft Peto 18cm is a dependable swimbait for targeting trophy-class Aussie fish.
