The evolution of fishing gear and accessories along with the development of the
bass fishing industry brought about the development of various lures specifically used for different
fish species.
There are many types or class of lures and they all depend on what type of
fish works for them. Many only work for specific types but some cover a wide range of species of
fish.
Below are some of the typical lures used for fishing.
Light Standard Casting Lures
For Standard casting lures, they are mostly able to attract a wide range of
fish varieties from albacore, bluefish, bonita, oho and crappies. These lures are also excellent for certain species of
bass fish and work best when retrieved from water at low to medium speed. They pass through water with undetectably synthetic material.
Their sizes are excellent for lightweight fish and a host of freshwater species. They range from 1/16 oz. to 3 oz.
The hand painted eye is enticing enough to allow schooling of fish. This feature allows for more chances of trapping one of the target
fish in the water.
Heavy Standard Casting Lures
Heavy Standard Casting Lures are excellent for quite heavy fish specifically,
walleye and bass. While the lightweight lures are used in most circumstances, it was shown that heavy counterparts provide more reliable
fishing output.
Moreover, the heavy standard lures are able to catch fish than diamond and light standard casting
lures.
Long Casting/Jigging Lures
Perhaps the most popular among the fishing lures are the long, tapered jigging
lures. They are perhaps the most commonly used fishing lures among the
fishermen in Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Just recently, it was found out that the long casting lures work best for catching
trout and pike. They were also found to effectively catch stripers and bluefish. They can catch tuna and
walleye in a breeze!
Unlike heavy standard lures, this gear won’t produce good fish-catch output up to 180-200 ft under water but be sure to effectively match your
lure color, bait and related accessories to maximize performance.
Deadly Diamond Lures
These lures are one of the smallest with sizes ranging from 1/8 to 1oz. They can seamlessly attract attention among
fish and could form a school of fish in a minute!
The reason is it lies on its structural surface formation and cut. The top handle is cut like a diamond and causes the reflection of light striking on its surface. The diamond
lures are best for catching bass fish varieties, crappie and stripers although they work on a small range of
fish species.
