So what is it exactly that makes a good fishing lure? This article is going to discuss some of the factors that go into making a good lure. I think the first thing we need to do is define what a 'fishing lure' actually is, at least for the purposes of this article. The term lure is defined as: anything that attracts, entices, or allures, and in our world that refers to attracting fish to the lure.
Although there seem to be an infinite number of lures on the market and available to anglers, for the purposes of this article I want to focus on those lures that imitate bait fish. To me, these types of fishing lures, the ones that imitate baitfish, can be very effective. So what is it that makes one more effective than the other. Should we just purchase the least expensive version of this type of lure? Or should we purchase the most expensive? Maybe getting something in the "middle of the road" is the way to go?
In reality the cost of the fishing lure shouldn't be the reason you choose on over the other. The single biggest factor in what makes one of these types better than another is which type looks the most realistic. The thing that makes a good lure is simply how realistic it appears under the water. In other words, when you're reeling the lure in, what does it look like? If it's supposed to imitate a bait fish, guess what? It better look like a live bait fish!
So how do you know if it looks like a real bait fish, without actually trying the lure? The first thing you can do is take the advice of experts, people who have used the lure you're interested in and will give you an honest assessment. The other thing to look for is that the company that makes the lure has stood the test of time. For example, Rapala has been being made for many years and look very natural in the water. Rapala's are very good fishing lures.
In some cases, you can see videos of what the lure actually looks like underwater. If this is the case, you can see for yourself. Does it look like the bait fish it's supposed to mimic? If so, you are in good shape. These types , the ones in which you can see for yourself how they look are worth investigating, and are quite effective as well.
The bottom line is that the thing that makes a good fishing lure is how realistic it appears under the water. Remember: what it looks like in the package, makes no difference to the fish! The packaging is for the fisherman! If you found this tip helpful, get more like it two times a month for FREE.
