A fishing lure is essentially artificial bait used to catch fish.The best fishing lures are made with a specific species of fish in mind, as different types of lures attract different fish. There are a wide variety of lures available for different fishing situations. For example, spinners, plugs, crankbaits, feathers, jellies, spoons, and Jigs are all lures but are used with different tackle setups and methods.

Lures work by mimicking the action of smaller or injured fish.This attracts larger predatory fish by its irregular motion in the water, and its vibrations, which indicate a fish moving or in distress.

One of the main benefits to lure fishing,is that you can easily select the type of fish that you wish to catch, by selecting a different lure and a different method to fish with.

With such a wide range of lures available, it’s difficult to understand which the best fishing lure is to buy. We have reviewed three below to help make your selection more informed.

Different baits need to be used for different fishing conditions, and the varying types of fish you want to catch. It’s a good idea to have a broad selection on hand to maximize your chances of catching a fish.
