The Advantages of a Fishing Lure

A fishing lure is artificial bait that one uses to attract fish while fishing. The lure uses various elements such as movement, vibrations, colour and light to attract its pray, it has hooks and spears attached to it which catches the fish.

So, why use a fishing lure?

Apparently, like humans even fish respond to technology. Recently an Australian company Balista has launched their revolutionary range of LED lures.

Most lures are attached to fishing lines. Lures are available in a number of sizes in terms of both the lure itself and the hooks attached to it. There are various types of lures available. Also, some of the popular ones are surface lures, spoon lures and jigs; among others.

Hence many lures fail in capturing them. Barramundi feeds on other fish, hence they are picked up as a ‘fake bait’.
