Salt Water Fishing Lures
from: Rob LoreThere are as many choices for salt water fishing lures as there are for fresh water fishing, if not more. One thing to keep in mind in regard to salt water fishing lures is that typically the species will be larger, especially if you are going for sailfish, marlins or other trophy fish. Therefore, the salt water fishing lures will also be larger and durably constructed.
The following are all typical salt water fishing lures that can be used for a variety of species. Remember that each species and even within species there will be preferred salt water fishing lures based on the seasonal feeding variations, water conditions and overall weather conditions on the day that you are fishing. Light and time of day will also impact on the type of salt water fishing lures that will be most effective.
Jigs
Just like with fresh water lures, jigs for salt water species come in all sizes, shapes and colors. Most jigs for salt water are meant to be fished close to the bottom so will be heavier weighted to resist excessive drift in currents and tides.
Plugs
Plugs are saltwater fishing lures that serve as plugs are key in any tackle box. Plugs can be dark colored or even black for close imitation to the bait fish in the area. Typically plugs are moved erratically through the water to resemble an injured baitfish. Moving up and down through the water as they are shifted from side to side is an effective technique for getting larger fish to strike more aggressively.
Tins
Tins are unique to saltwater fishing lures and are a completely highly reflective tin lure. Tins are designed to look like a rapidly moving baitfish and to both reflect light and move through the water exactly as a rapidly swimming baitfish would appear. Tins typically have a few white feathers near the tail that give an authentic movement to the tail of the salt water fishing lures as well as add action to the water around the saltwater fishing lures.
Plastic Lures
Plastic lures can be virtually any color and may be double or triple treble hooked. Plastic lures may be all one piece or may be jointed, depending on the length of the saltwater fishing lures and the action desired. The plastic lures may be very realistic in appearance, designed to look like squid or baitfish found along coastal areas, or they may be highly colorful and very dramatic in presentation. Plastic lures are often used for fishing along bays, coastal inlets and when baitfish are running from shallow to deep water or vice versa.
Topwater Lures
As with freshwater lures, salt water fishing lures can also be topwater lures, designed to skip along the water surface to bring the fish up to the top. Topwater lures are best used in calmer waters close to land. Topwater lures can be ideal for both boat fishing and fishing from a beach.
