What are the Different Types of Fishing Lures?
Fishing lures are available in a near endless array of styles, colors, sizes, and types. The main purpose of any type of fishing lure is to attract fish, but the type of fishing lure a fisherman chooses might be based on previous experience, personal preference, or another’s suggestion. Each type of fishing lure performs differently underwater depending on its design. Spinners, spoons, jigs, and soft plastic baits will all perform in a different way when reeled through the water. Experienced fisherman know how most types of fish will react to bait and can select an appropriate fishing lure for each situation. Most fishing lures are designed to closely resemble live bait in both appearance and movement when underwater. Though each fishing lure reacts differently, most mimic the swimming movements of a live critter when proper angling is applied.
