On Purchasing Salmon Fishing Lures

By Kenya England


Fishing is not just a hobby. It is said to be an art too. It takes more than fixing bait and casting the line in the water. You need to know about the preferred prey of the target fish. In addition you should get the timing right and the approach used should be effective. Having the right salmon fishing lures is crucial too.

There are many lures to choose from when fishing for lax. What you should bear in mind is that poor choices will give you disappointing results. The salmon do not easily take baits. For this reason, the lure should be chosen carefully and the proper approach employed.

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.

There are very many artificial types of baits available in the market. Silver spoons are the commonest of these lure types. They have concave oval embedded on the hook. When cast into water the oval flashes and flatters attracting the fish. Spinner bait is also good to use. It has metallic blades which create movements in water by spinning.

Cut plugs take after small fish and are rigid. They have the advantage of being adorned with many hooks. Color and luster are important features for any type of lax fishing lure. Salmons will not be found near the water surface and the lure color must be easily detected by fish in dark waters. The colors which have been confirmed to be visible at great depths include green, purple, UV and blue.

Trolling is the recommended technique in salmon fishing. It involves fishing while the boat is constantly moving. Staying in one position for extended period of time or letting the lure stop moving will make them suspicious and they are not likely to take the bait.

Weights and divers are used to make baits go deep into the water. Salmons will be found at the bottom-most parts of the water bodies and move continuously. The lure should have the same characteristics too. When making the cast, do it at the point a fish are moving towards. They will detect it readily. If the lure is live, a fish will be attracted by its smell. Salmon fishing is so much fun and productive if the right lures are used.
