Fishing Lures
from: Rob LoreEvery angler has his or her own favorite type and variety of fishing lures. Typically those favorite fishing lures will be one of a group or category of fishing lures. Many times all that is different is the colors or patterns on the fishing lures, but this will often make all the difference in whether or not the fish will bite.
Fishing lures are an essential part of every tackle box and learning about the various types of fishing lures can be a great way to spend a winter's afternoon in preparation for the upcoming fishing season. To help novice anglers understand the basic types of fishing lures available in most fishing stores and online tackle stores, the following descriptions should be helpful:
Jigs
Jigs are typically used in almost all types of fishing including ice fishing. Jigs are a weighted body and a head part that is actually molded into the hook in a single unit. Jigs may be brightly colored, black or may have additional feathers, tails or reflective parts. Jigs can be used with most species of fish. Jigs are usually fished close to the bottom where the jig is bounced off the surface or at specific depths in the water giving the "jigging" motion to the fishing lure.
Crankbait
Crankbait is meant to be used in all types of fishing but is very popular in bass fishing. The movement or "cranking" of the bait through the water causes the fishing lures to attract the fish, thereby giving the fishing lures its name. Crankbaits are typically designed to resemble minnows and small bait fish.
Spinnerbaits
Another one of the many types of fishing lures designed to attract fish through movement, the spinner bait has one or more disks located close to the swivel or head of the fishing lure that move like a propeller when reeled through the water. Tailspinners have the propeller like disk at the end of the lure. The hook is mounted at the belly section of the lure. Tailspinners may have additional feathers or even a tail attached depending on the species of fish that is being targeted.
Rattlebaits
Rattlebaits are fishing lures that move through the water and produce a noise, typically by spinning or beaded like components of the fishing lures itself. This vibration in the water is highly attractive to species such as bass and pike.
Spoons
Spoons are so named because they resemble a spoon in their concave shape. The spoon is designed to move through the water and roll, attracting fish with the bright colors and random movement. The spoon will have a hook attached to the back, usually a treble or three pronged hook or a single hook. Many spoons now have stripes of gold, silver or even highly reflective materials as well as bright colors such as red, orange, yellow and bright green.
Fly Fishing Lures
Used in fly fishing, fly fishing lures are designed to float across the surface of the water, imitating an insect. Fly fishing is popular with salmon, trout, and bass among other species.
