But how to fish with fishing lures?
In this article, we will try to solve the main doubts to enter the world of fishing lures and in the case of experienced fishermen, they may discover the great quality and competitive price of our fishing lures.
First of all, we must focus and think about which species we want to dedicate our fishing days, the lures, although some multipurpose ones are usually very different depending on the species that we want to deceive with our artificial fish.
We will start with the species that gain the most followers every day and that causes a real fury and disease in most artificial lure fishermen, not without first and taking advantage of the fact that you are surely starting in this sport to inform you of what today although unfortunately still without be mandatory if we see sport fishermen essential for the preservation of our hobby. He catches and releases. The best memory is a photo, handle the fish with respect and care and return them to their environment so that another fan or even yourself can take that fish that made your adrenaline rise.
Black bass.
As we have already announced, it is a predator that raises passions, to give you an idea in the US it is a whole religion, in high-level competition, the prizes for the winner exceed $ 800,000. I am sure that if in Spain we had these incentives, your couples would see with better eyes the fact that every two by three you escape fishing. In Spain, there are also high-level competitions around Bass, but with prizes that rarely exceed € 300. The truth is that the difference is appreciable.
But returning to the subject that interests us, fishing lures, you should know that to tempt this large-mouth predator we must have a good assortment of lures and none will be magical or the best, since depending on the day this capricious fish will attack imitations different. We explain the basics that we should have in our box of fishing lures and how and when we should use each of them.
SURFACE.
It is the most fun technique of all, it is totally impressive to see how a large Bass eats your lure in front of your nose, sometimes even with a great jump, making your hair stand on end.
Poppers, Walkers, frogs, insects, and any imitation that works above waterfall into this category. They are especially effective in the early summer mornings when the water is calm, windy days will not be the best time to take out this type of lure.
Almost entirely, this type of fishing is characterized by being very slow fishing, we will use the Stop and Go technique. Yes, in fishing everything is said in English, we are influenced by American professional fishermen and we use all their jargon. As we said, Stop and Go is a technique true to its name, it involves giving a few tugs on the wrist to move the lure, or a few turns on the reel depending on the imitation, and then leaving the fishing lure completely still for a few seconds. After this, we will repeat the jerks and then pause waiting for the bite.
These usually occur during the break and I assure you that you will be hooked on this fishing technique.
And here may be the first vice that you must overcome, each technique has its moment, if we use this technique in cold months or hours not conducive to it, for many fish that have hit at 7:00, at 10:00 It can become a total absence of bites, so we must adapt the technique to each day and every moment. If after several hot spots we don't see any signs, maybe it's time to change techniques until we find them.
As we have said, surface fishing usually gives its best results in summer mornings, but when I say mornings I mean in the first rays of the sun, if we talk about June it will be 6:00 and in July before 6:30, If we get to fish at 9:00, it may no longer be the best time to fish on the surface and we should choose another modality. What to say, that any time we find surface activity it can be a good time to take out our frog or popper.
Inside our store, in each lure, you will find a brief explanation of how to use it to get the best out of it as well as a video of how the lure moves, if you have doubts, comment on the post and we will respond as soon as possible.
CRANKBAIT.
They are the ideal lures to start fishing Bass, they are very simple to handle and are usually very effective, we will only have to throw them into the hot area and pick up at an adequate speed, this should not be very fast but we should notice the vibration of the crankbait swimming.
We will use this type of fishing lure as soon as the water temperature rises a few degrees, normally for May-April and we can continue using them until November.
With cold waters, the Bass will be less active and we will have to use techniques in which we can handle much slower lures, we will talk about them later.
