Deep sea fishing lures are not just different in size to fresh water
fishing lures but also have other characteristics specific to deep sea
fishing. It is extremely important for your success as a fisherman who
prefers deep sea fishing to learn which lures to choose, when and why.
Many times it can seem like a difficult job when you're confronted with
getting to pick a deep sea lure to use.
The
facts are that there are some types of lures which work better for
catching some types of fish than others. The type you ultimately choose
is entirely up to you, but recognizing how to pick the correct one will
unquestionably help you catch vastly more fish.
One of the first
things that you need to recognize before choosing which deep sea fishing
lure you are will use is the size of the fish you are seeking. One of
the characteristics of an amateur fisherman is that they do not
understand that the size of the fish determines the size of the lure
that you should use.
Larger fish demand that you use a larger lure
to successfully snare the fish. On the other hand for smaller fish
you'll need to use a lure which can fit in it's mouth or you'll fail to
hook up even if you manage to get a strike.
Another condition to
consider when choosing a deep sea fishing lure is how natural the lure
looks and moves in the water. Lures should look like the food your
target fish usually likes to eat.
Lures which look completely
unrealistic have little chance of catching fish even if sometimes they
will try to bite it. However, if you go deep sea fishing with a lure
that looks entirely natural then tons of fish will attack it with a very
good chance of being caught.
This is another common mistake that
amateur fishermen make, using lures that do not look completely
realistic. Professionals never make this mistake, they cannot afford to
waste their time by not always using realistic looking lures.
The
next mistake many amateur fishermen make is to not choose the correct
type of line for the the type of lure that you utilize. It seems clear
that if you use a heavier lure then you're going to lose it if you don't
use a heavier line to support the weight of the lure plus the potential
weight of the fish you are pursuing. At the same time, a lighter lure
can easily be used on a lighter line without being forced to spend money
on one of the heavier lines.
Are you aware that an additional
consideration when picking a sea fishing lure is deciding whether or not
to use live bait?. There are some lures which have been specifically
designed to have live bait attached. These often have special fittings
to keep the bait from causing any additional drag or spinning while
being trolled or retrieved fast.
