What is the best fishing lure?
The best fishing lure is largely dependent on the species you are targeting, they area you are fishing, the season you are fishing and the time of tide you are chasing fish. These lures vary but include crankbaits, minnows, jigs, artificial lures, bionic baits, soft plastic fishing lures and spinnerbaits. Each lure holds its place for each species at the right stage of tide and time of the year.
How to pick the best fishing lure?
Choosing the correct fishing lure is largely dependent on where, where and how you choose to chase your target species.
As a general rule of thumb, always try to match the hatch and fish as light as possible offering a finesse approach. Offering a natural presentation such as soft plastics fishing lures which match the shape, profile and size of the local baitfish, is by far the best method in choosing the correct lures.
Hard bodied fishing lures, jigs and swimbaits also hold their value on every species when fishing different application. Colour of lure also has a big influence on catching fish with natural presentations such as camo, ayu and pilly colours often producing best results.
How do i know what size lure to use?
What size lure to use is largely dependent on the type of fish you are targeting, where you are targeting them, the time of year you are targeting them and whether you are chasing them land based or from a boat.
Big lures often mean big bites which leads to catching big fish! When the fishing is slow or shuts down, then downsize your fishing lures to the smallest possible profile, size, length and weight to appear more natural. Wind is generally the biggest factor when it comes to size lure and the windier the conditions are, the less spooky the fish become and the more willing they are to smash bigger lures.
What fishing lures are best for what fish?
What fishing lures are best for bream, snapper, flathead and whiting are largely dependent on the water temperature and depth you are fishing.
Bass & Yellowbelly: Bass will take lures of all shapes, sizes and colours but the standard lures are vibrating lures such as soft plastic t-tail grubs, crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Over spring, when the insects come out in force and hatch, bass and yellowbelly will rise to the surface early in the morning where small cicadas and poppers work a treat, before going deep and taking swim jigs spiked with a soft plastic crawfish trailer.
What fishing lures are best for beginners?
If you are a beginner just starting out, it is best to have an array of fishing lures in your arsenal. Some common lures which can be used on multiple species include;
Soft Plastics - Are exactly as their name suggest, they are soft in nature and made out of a durable plastic material, sometimes TPE which provides ultimately stretch and elasticity. There isn't a species in both saltwater and freshwater they won't eat a soft plastic presentation.
Surface Lures - Topwater fishing is one of the most exhilarating and entertain forms of fishing and this can be achieved with surface poppers, pencils, stick baits and bent minnows.
Hardbodies - Hard bodied lures such as crankbaits, minnows, swimbaits and other hard plastic lures come in endless shapes and sizes and are suitable for a wide range of species and are simple to use.
Is bait better than lures for fishing? Bait vs Lures
Fishing with baits or lures can be very rewarding, for best results you can combine the two by spiking the lure with a squid strip or fish fillet.
Bait: Fresh or dead baits will always be the easiest, most productive way to catch numbers of fish. They are most effective as they are the real thing which the predatory fish can smell enticing them to bite. Live baits are without a doubt the best baits such as live yakkas, mackerel, pink nippers, prawns or bloodworms.
Lures: Lures are a very effective technique as opposed to using bait. Using lightly weighed jigheads or topwater lures, they can be presented in places such as on the surface or deep into snags, where baits cannot typically be placed. Lures often account for much larger fish, can be reused, come in a variety of colours and shapes, and are fun as you can employ various skills and techniques to catch fish.
How do I become a better lure fisherman?
You can become a better lure fisherman by spending as much time on the water as possible. Consistency is key!
The right lure: you need to use the correct lure for the correct species to suit the type of structure you are fishing. Monitor seasonal behaviours and water temperatures for best results
Rig your lure straight: You need to rig your soft plastic lure straight to ensure it is streamline and not spinning when retrieved. If you are using a crankbait, only buy the best quality brands, so they swim straight and dont track to one side.
What is the number 1 fishing lure?
The best fishing lures are hands down soft plastic fishing lures as they are so versatile and come in an array of shapes and sizes and can be modified to suit specific species such as bream, whiting, tailor and flathead. Soft plastics work well on all Australian fish species in both freshwater and saltwater applications and have often accounted for record breaking fish with their modern scents and biodegradable or TPE material.
Which fishing lures is most effective?
The most effective fishing lure correlates to the area you are fishing and your target species. Soft plastics tend to be most effective with T-Tail grubs being most effective on fish that like reaction baits such as jewfish, bass. flathead and estuary perch as the lure tail vibrates. Soft Plastic curl grubs are a more finesse lure and are popular amongst bream, whiting, flounder and trevally being the most realistic and natural presentation you can offer. Soft plastic jerk baits in 5" or 7" are great for pelagic species such as tuna, kingfish, mahi or snapper as they imitate a pilchard or small mackerel. Metal fishing lures also work well on pelagic fish and are most effective as their chrome finish flashes near the surface capturing the predator's attention and imitating a fleeing baitfish!
