subject: What Are The Best Lures To Use For Fishing [print this page] The search for the best lure is a never ending journey for the fishermen and this has seen a constant evolution and revolution of fishing gear and accessories over the years. The importance of fishing to feed people and the recreational value has seen the development of various lures specifically used for different fish species. There are many types of lures in materials used, size, shape, color and weight, of which many have been developed for specific fish species, however they can work across fish species very well. Here are some of the typical lures used for fishing.
One of the most popular lures you will find in a fisherman's tackle box is the long casting or jigging lures. These lures are very good for shallow and not so deep fishing due to their lightness but they are perfect for trout, walleye, stripers, bluefish, tuna and pike. One of the most flexible of lures for a whole range of fish is the standard light casting lure. This lure can be made of any material with the wooden lure probably being better than the others due to the way it sits in the water and the hand painting of various colors. Although it must be said that plastic lures are quite good also. Common fish caught on these lures are bonito, crappies, albacore, bass, bluefish, and oho.
The benefit of heavy standard casting lures is that if you catch a big one, then you are less likely to lose this fish on this heavy duty equipment. Although it is harder to detect those soft nibbles on the line, it is quite possible those fish are too small anyway. Nothing like a hard whack on the end of the line to really bring up the adrenalin on catching that fish. Walleye and bass are common fish caught on these heavy standard casting lures. On the other end of the scale is the smallest lures of all, what is known as diamond lures, these can sparkle like diamonds and are very successful in attracting the attention of fish. These lures are very light and can sit on the water and with its sparkle reflecting off the water and can draw fish from far away. Crappie, bass and stripers are often caught on these diamond lures. Always keep some of these in your tackle box for still and calm conditions and watch the fish leap on them.
