On Purchasing Salmon Fishing Lures

By Kenya England


Fishing is a form of art besides being a hobby. You need to know more than just hooking baits and plopping the fishing rod in water for the activity to be productive. You have to know the prey preferred by the fish you are targeting. The fishing time should be right and the method used should be suitable too. Salmon fishing lures should be chosen carefully.

Lax is lured by various baits but if the fishing technique is not right then it will be hard to catch them. That is why you should understand the basic types of the lures and how to use them before embarking on the fishing trip.

Live lures have been in use since the ancient times. The merit of using such bait is that it can move on its own because it is alive. Its smell disperses in water too attracting the fish. Salmon roe is the most popular live bait in catching the fish. It is cheap to get these eggs. By the virtue of them being colorful and bright the lax loves them.

Minnows are also live lures. They are effective in angling for many of the freshwater fish. A precaution to be observed in their use is ensuring they are alive indeed. Sand shrimp is a popular lax lure too. The drawback in their use is the cost. It is fairly expensive. They are not easy to rig too. To note is that they are the best to use provided that you can afford them and you are patient.

The market is flooded with artificial baits. Silver spoon is an artificial lure available readily in the market. It has an oval hollow at the hook which flaps and flares when in water to attract the fish. Spinner bait on the hand has metallic blades which spin in water to create movements.

Cut plugs have a solid frame and resemble a small fish. They are heavily hooked. All artificial lax lures are shiny and brightly colored. Regardless of the lure type, color should always be considered. Because the fish species is found in the deepest parts of the river or lake, purple, green, UV or blue color should be used. These colors are clear even when the depth is dark.

Besides the lure, the technique used in fishing must be right. You can end up with no catch even when you have the best lure at hand. Trolling is the recommended lax fishing approach by the experts in the field. It involves keeping the boat on move constantly. The bait should also be moving all the time while in the water.

In trolling, divers or weights are used to get the bait to a specific depth. Salmon fishing should be done near the water body bottom. Because it is always on the move, ensure the lure is in a constant move too to get the attention of salmon. When using live baits you should cast them before the fish so that they can detect the smell. If all these aspects are considered keenly then the fishing tour will not be a headache to you. You will catch them easily and the activity will be fun.
