How to Choose a Fishing Lure Size: 7.5 cm vs. 11 cm vs. 14 cm

Choosing a lure starts with a simple question: what size do you want to cast? Maris has options at 7.5 cm, 11 cm, and 14 cm. Here is a quick way to compare the listed specifications before your next fishing trip.

Start with the size you want to try

The Maris Bionic Soft Bait is listed as 7.5 cm long without its hooks. Its product listing specifies reinforced size 6 hooks and a diving depth of 0.2–2 m. That depth is the listed specification, not a guarantee of where the lure will run in every setup.

The Maris Floating Hard Bait comes in 11 cm (15 g) and 14 cm (35 g) sizes and is listed as ABS material. If you want to compare a larger profile with the 7.5 cm option, these are two sizes to look at. Its listing does not specify a diving depth, so check the product details rather than assuming it runs at the same depth as the Bionic lure.

Make the comparison on the water

  • Check the size and weight of each option against your rod's stated lure-weight range before casting.
  • Try one size at a time and note where you cast, how you retrieve it, and what you observe.
  • Change one variable at a time so you can tell whether size or presentation makes a difference for your conditions.

A note on naming: The Maris Bionic product title says “Soft Bait,” while its current product specifications categorize it as a hard bait. Until that discrepancy is resolved, this guide compares verified dimensions rather than claiming a specific material or flexible action for that product.
