Rapala Soft Peto Lure 22cm

A big-bait swimbait built to trigger trophy Murray Cod, Barramundi, Jewfish and Flathead with heavy thump, lifelike roll, and irresistible realism.

The Rapala Soft Peto Lure 22cm is a large-profile soft swimbait designed specifically for anglers targeting Australia’s most powerful predators. Combining the proven X-Rap® Peto swimming action with the natural movement of soft plastic construction, this lure delivers a commanding presence underwater with strong vibration and an ultra-realistic wounded-baitfish roll.

Perfect for fishing deep structure, estuary channels, rock bars, weed edges and impoundments, the Soft Peto 22cm excels when big fish want a big meal. Its oversized paddle tail produces a slow-to-medium thumping action that draws predators from distance, while the textured body and 3D detailing provide a realistic feel that keeps fish committed right through the strike.

Built tough for both freshwater and saltwater use, this lure stays stable at any retrieve speed—from slow rolling for Murray Cod and Jewfish to faster burns when chasing Barra or Flathead. Available in high-impact colour patterns including the renowned Fire Tiger, it’s a reliable option when you’re hunting serious fish.

If you’re chasing your next metre-plus Barra or monster Cod, the Rapala Soft Peto 22cm gives you the size, action and presence needed to get the bite.
