The Best Fishing Lures




Some anglers prefer the relaxing fishing with a sinker, hook, and worm. That is fantastic for certain types of fish, and when you are looking to sit back and let the fish come to you, then this type of fishing is a fabulous way to go. Nothing beats sitting back and waiting for a fish to bite, while you take in the natural environment around you peacefully.


What If you want to take a more aggressive approach and attack the fish? Fishing lures are the way to achieve this. A fishing lures purpose is to create attention of the fish, mimic live bait, either annoy it or make it take the bait. Using Fishing Lures can present some extreme fishing and perhaps more activity while fishing.


Is there the best fishing lures? - Best fishing lure is different for every angler. There is no fishing lure which actually the best. It would be impossible to say that one type of fishing lure is truly better than another. Some work better or dive deeper than others. Invariably it comes down to what a specific fish we want from a specific location - Each Fishing lure will have its own proper way to use. Having the correct retrieve speed, jerking and twitching (if it is part of the lures movement) is important to our fishing success when using fishing lures.


There are a few types of fishing lures in the worldwide market today (top water, shallow or deep diver and etc). Choose the right fishing lures to catch nearly every kind of freshwater and saltwater fish. Whether you're a skilled angler or a beginner, finding the best fishing lure to use depends on many different situations. At the end of the day, the best fishing lure is the lure that's your favorite. It would be impossible to say that one type of fishing lure is truly better than another.


We need to know the proper seed and motion of our fishing lure and must be aware of what type of fish the lure is best for. Not all fishing lures will work with all fish and pay attention to what type of fish the fishing lure is made for. Taking time to appropriately learn our fishing lure will help in the future fishing trips.


Categories - The main fishing lures probably divided into several main types or categories. Each of these fishing lures required different type of presentation and handling.

i) Top Water Fishing Lures - Fishing lures that are fished or implies on the surface, or top of the water. Usually floating, that may be moved about the surface of water creating attraction and cause fish to strike the lure.





ii) Minnow Imitation Fishing Lures
- These are the fishing lures that look like bait fish and come in all of the sizes and colors that actual baitfish are available in. The type of fishing lure that the entire world is most familiar with. Feature a lip in front of the lure allowing the lure to dive to various depths and impart various actions.






iii) Spinners & Spoon Lures
- Can also be categorized under top water lures but for personal reason I rather put it under different category for better understanding of the functions it may offer. I'm grouping this type of lures together because I believe they are in the same family. They both imitate baitfish (for the most part) and quite effective as other fishing lures
.





iv) Spinnerbait & Buzzbait Lures - Spinnerbait is a wire with a loop in its middle and the arms bent into V-shaped providing top and lower arms. Top-arm with spinner blade while lower-arm equipped with single hook( with lead head for weight) and adorned with a skirt to attract fish. Buzzbait is similar to spinnerbait except that it has propeller type device on the upper arm instead of a spinner blade which rotates very quickly when retrieved. Buzz Baits tend to create more attention then most spinners and spoons.





v) Soft Plastics Lures & Grubs – Soft (plastic) material with scented (some not) and imitates most of natural fish baits we can imagine ranging from small fish, insects, crustacean, worms and many others. Some design with its curled tail emulates as the worm moves through water but might not be considered 'fishing lures' to some anglers.
