WHAT IS LURING?
It is the technique of attracting fishes using bait or artificial lures to mimic as a prey. Common methods include using fishing rods, live bait, and various lures like spoons and spinners.
TYPES OF LURES
Read on to learn about lures that will enhance your fishing experience.
HARD
Made of plastic, wood, or metal. Examples, crankbaits, jerkbaits, and topwater. Best used in freshwater lakes, rivers, and reservoirs with moderate to murky water.
SOFT
Flexible, often imitating worms, grubs, or minnows. They excel in freshwater settings such as lakes, rivers, and ponds but perform well in both clear and murky waters.
SPOON
Lures that have a curved shape and are designed to wobble in the water, mimicking baitfish. They work well in both freshwater and saltwater environments, especially in conditions like open water or deep channels.
JIGS
Weights that have hooks and are often dressed with soft plastic or feathers to attract the fish. Commonly used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing, particularly when targeting species like bass.
FLIES
Used primarily in fly fishing, imitating insects or small creatures. Ideal for calmer waters or slow-moving currents in both saltwater or freshwater.
