Types of Lures

can start soon as the preferred depth is reached. This can be achieved by counting down before one starts the retrieval process. This way the same depth will be reached whenever one casts. The distance that the lure has sunk down in the counted time, will give a suggestion of how deep or how far down the fish are situated when they strike. This is also called the sink rate of the lure.

Surface lures

These lures are used on the water surface and are considered to be the most fascinating 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. Most of the times the fish can be seen completely exiting the water when they send off at a surface lure. Since these lures are being retrieved on the surface of the water, they are recommend to be used in areas that have a lot of weed.

Spoons

This one is considered to be the most simple of all lures. They got their name because they look like the head of a spoon. Bait fish are attracted by the spoon doing a flickering and wobbling movement or action. Spoons are recommended for starters in lure fishing; easy to use and very affordable.

Spinners

The spinner is simply put a blade that does a rotating action on a spindle when it is moving through the water. During this movement it gives off a flash as light is being reflected on the revolving blade, characterizing the bait fish’s scales and movements. This lure is flexible because only can one verify and know the retrieve depth by the period or time frame one leaves before one starts a retrieve. It is also possible to alter the speed of the revolving blade around the spindle, by either speeding up or slowing down one’s retrieve. For the Mullet and Trout, a smaller size is recommended, and a larger spinner with the pike liking, along with the treble hook in a red wool.

Floating drivers

A necessity for everyone using lures, as they cover a wide scope in diving depths. From just beneath the surface up to fifteen feet or even deeper. The diving depth can be changed by adapting the vane or fin to the body of the lure. The smaller the angle to the body of the lure the deeper it can dive. The size as well as the shape of the vane and the lures body contributes to the movement of the plug in the water.

Suspending plugs

These lures are designed in a way that they have neutral buoyancy and resistance. When the plug is thrown into the water, it will sink to the required depth and it will stay at this depth. This type is perfect if the fish you want to catch is hidden near weed beds, rocks or banks.
