So you want to catch the big fish. The key to your success lies in locating the fish then attracting them to your rod. This is where the fishing lure
plays the all important role.
The better the lure the more fish you will catch, the more fish you catch the greater your opportunity to win the competition. When
it comes to lures there are various types. There are lures for big fish, small fish, fast fish etc.
The objective of the lure is to get the fishes attention. Once the
fish becomes aware of the lure the game is on. The lure makes certain movements such as shaking and rotating, this action gets the fish in the feeding
mood.
Lures also have various designs to attract the fish, there are for example multi colored lures which enables the fish to see it clearly. The lure can imitate
that of a fish, hence attracting your catch. There are also lures which have a thinker center piece with a curve on either end, this creates an angle when in the
water.
Along with designs lures have various colors and come in different sizes and weights. Some are smaller and thinner than others. Other lures imitate the
shape of a fish. The lure can reflect a three dimensional image making it enticing to the fish. All of these factors are dependent upon what type of fish you are
attempting to catch.
Some fishermen also add blood to the crank of the bait, in this case the hungry fish will catch the scent and go for the hook.
All
in all its not about fooling the fish it's about attracting the fish and outsmarting it.
