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.

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.

Baits can be either artificial or live. The live ones are used most of the times. Since they are actually alive, they are able to move on their own in water and it is easy for the fish to think that they are genuine. Their smell is an added advantage because it attracts a fish. Eggs are the leading live baits. They are bright, colorful and cheap. In addition, they happen to be the tastiest treats for salmon.

Another kind of live baits is minnows. They can be used to catch any type of freshwater fish. However, you need to make sure that they are alive when fixing them onto the hook. Sand shrimp can be used too. They always deliver good results but they are very costly. Rigging them is not an easy task. Nonetheless, they will not disappoint you if you are patient enough.

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 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.

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.
