Types of Fishing Lures

Fishing lures are designed to mimic the look and movement of prey, attracting fish through visual appeal and motion. Common types include:

  1. Spoons: Metal lures shaped like a spoon, wobbling to mimic injured prey.
  2. Spinners: Feature a metal shaft with a spinning blade, vibrating in water to attract fish.
  3. Jigs: Lead-head hooks with a soft body to simulate live bait, effective for vertical fishing.
  4. Plugs/Crankbaits: Hard-bodied lures that mimic fish or other prey, with a wobbling or rolling action.
  5. Soft Plastics: Versatile lures shaped like worms, minnows, or other prey, used for various fishing techniques.
  6. Topwater Lures: Float and are designed to create splashing, attracting fish that feed on the surface.

Each type has specific uses and techniques, suitable for different water conditions and fish species.
