What Lures, What Fish?
Lures are pieces of fishing equipment that imitate a real fish, and they come in many variations, including big lures, top water lures, mid-range lures and lures that go deep.
Spoons
Considered the most simple of all other lures, they got their name as they look like the head of a spoon. They act for the bait fish by doing a flickering and wobbling movement or action. Spoons are fantabulous for starters in lure fishing; easy to use and very cheap.
Spinners
The spinner is basically a blade wherein it does a rotating action on a spindle when being retrieved or taken back through the water as well as it gives off a flash as light is being reflected on the revolving blade, qualifying the bait fish’s scales and movements. This is a lure that’s flexible as only may one verify and know the retrieve depth by the period or time frame one leaves before one begins a retrieve, one may also alter the speed of the revolving blade around the spindle, by either speeding up or slowing down one’s retrieve. For the Trout and Mullet, a smaller size is recommended, and a larger spinner with the pike liking, along with the treble hook in a red wool.
Surface lures
These lures are used on the water surface and considered to be the most explosively thrilling of all lures as one could actually see the fish taking the lure, and the anticipation and the expectation of one looking forward of the take is an exciting experience. The fish may be totally seen exiting the water when they send off at a surface lure. Since these lures are being retrieved on the surface of the water, they can be a good choice in areas that have several weed.
Suspending plugs
Having neutral buoyancy and resistance, when the plug has dived or dropped to the required depth and left alone, it will continue on being suspended to that depth. For this reason, this type is perfect for pursuing your prey hidden near the weed beds, rocks or banks. When yanked in order to imitate life to the plug, it causes some crashing attack from your target.
Floating drivers
A necessity for all lure anglers, they cover a wide scope in diving depths; beginning from just beneath the surface up to fifteen feet or more. The diving depth is established on the viewpoint of the vane or fin to the body of the lure. The lesser the angle to the body of the lure the deeper it may dive. The shape as well as the size of the vane and the lures body contributes to the movement of the plug in the water.
Sinking plugs
These are excellent for deep water fishing, wherein the retrieve may begin soon as the preferred depth is reached. This is accomplished by counting down before one begins the recovery process. So, the same depth will be reached whenever one casts. The distance that the lure has sunk down in a particular time, will give a hint of how deep or how far down the fish are located when they strike; thus this is known as the sink rate of the lure.
Soft baits
This is soft rubber bait that comes in various shapes and forms, with matching sizes and colors. These are normally used for sea and fresh water fishing, which can be used on a weighted jig head handled in the same manner as the jerk bait, being managed as a plug is used.
Jerk baits
Having no movement of its own when in the water, the angler gives life to this lure; whenever the pole trembles or shakes or jerks, this lure may appear to have life. This lure for the most part, mimics an injured or wounded fish that the prey fish find tempting, and be compelled to thrust or lunge at.
