Fishing is a popular activity all over the world for sports, recreation or work. One of the simplest items in the inventory is fishing lures. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They are made of plastic or metal with 1, 2 or 3 hooks attached to the end of the bait. The lures are attached to a line that connects to the reel and rod. They are made in a shape that mimics live bait. There are many different types of baits and therefore you should know how to use them.

Steps

1. 1 Choose the right bait. Each bait is made to attract a specific type of fish under specific conditions. Artificial baits are just one type of bait. They are better suited for attracting perch or trout. There are 7 main types of bait, but each type has its own variety.
   • Surface lures move a lot on the surface of the water, forcing the fisherman to be on the alert all the time.
   • Wobblers have a ledge at the end, on the side of the head, which allows them to submerge in water. There are also more versatile wobblers without a ledge.
   • Saltwater lures are more durable so they can withstand the harsh ocean water.
   • Jerkbaits are simple, thin, long baits. With them, you need to pay more attention to management.
   • Soft baits best mimic live bait.
   • Jigs are classic lures consisting of head, tail and hook.
   • Spinnerbaits come with rotating petals and a skirt.
2. 2 Attach the bait to your fishing rod using a fishing line. It doesn't matter what kind of bait you have, you can attach it to your fishing rod in 1 or 2 ways.
   • Take a small “hinge” and attach it to the line. Open the hinge and attach it to the line, and attach the bait to the other end of the hinge.
   • Tie a knot that directly attaches the bait to the line. The most common knots are loop, improved clinch and palomar. This method is often used to ensure that fish do not bypass the unmasked hinge.
3. 3 Cast your rod. Once you've attached the hook bait, the rod is ready. You can fish. Depending on the type of lure you choose, you can cast the line and slowly wind the line to the reel or troll.

Tips

• Wear several types of hooks with your gear. You can change them depending on the conditions.

Warnings

• Fishing hooks are sharp and dangerous. Be careful during use.
