been a bit quiet on here so i thought i would do a piece on lure fishing, this is just a few of my lures that i use most often and what they are used for. theres been a bit of interest in lures just latley and im sure it can be a bit like a code when we go on about particular lures.

SURFACE LURES

A post about lures DSCF3570

above are a couple of surface baits, top one in a Salmo Turbo Jack, note the spinner blade on the back which causes surface disturbance. below this is a Salmo Mass Marauder, my fav of the two fished like a jerkbait it has a great side to side surface action. reacently had my first fish on this one. its more exciting using surface baits as you can see the lure all the way.

CRANKBAITS

a crankbait is basically a plug with a diving vain at the front to make it dive and wobble on the retreve.

A post about lures DSCF3567

a few famous ones here, from top to bottom:

Fox Mega Mouse, not really worked these one out yet but many people rave about these.
Savage Gear 4 play, the 4 sections give it a life like action on a straight retreve but a few twitches really bring it to life Wink
Rapala Super Shad Rap, legendry crankbait works twitched, trolled or cast and retreve
Beleiver 10", a big lure for trolling down deep on big lakes/res

SOFT PLASTICS

These are designed to be life like in looks and feel, when the pike grabs one it cant tell its got a lure cos its soft.

A post about lures DSCF3566

again a few famous ones,

Mag Dawg, actually looks nothing like a real fish but the long tail really winds the pike up.
Savage gear rattle shad, based around the replicant has a rattle inside to atract in the fish.
Ace Hell Tail, not really a plastic, more of a pull bait/hybrid. the tail has the same effrect as the bulldawg though.
Fox replicant, great fish catcher looks and swims like a real fish and feels right too the pike totally engulf them.
Fox soft Rooter, simalar effect to the dawgs and replicants.

JERKBAITS

A jerkbait is a lure that has no real action of its own, the action has to be made by the angler through jerks and twitches of the rod.

A post about lures DSCF3568

Top to bottom:

Savage gear freestyler & Deviator, these are a good place to start for a newbie the have a good action and are relativly cheap
Cobbs Countdown, count it down and twitch it back.
River run Manta, these are great lures they almost fish themselves as its so east to get a good action from them.
Smuttly DB5, not a fav of mine but a faster sinking jerk that casts like a bullit.

A post about lures DSCF3569

Top left and middle: Kjellie Lundberg Big Stalkers, really nice lures that sink slowly and have a great wide glide on the jerk.
top right: Cobbs crazy shad, my fav jerkbait great action gets nailed all the time
Cobbs rubber tail, a big lure which has the added attraction of a tail to wind them up, did the bussiness on windy the other week.

i really enjoy fishing the jerkbaits they get lots of attention from the pike and its a nice way to fish.

ULTRALIGHTS

bit of a buzz area atm, if you go on sites like pike and predator or lure anglers they are all talking ul's. the idea is basically scaling the tacke down so that instead of using a rod that will cast 2-5oz and 6" lures you get a light rod that will ony chuck lures of 1/4oz and use lures of an inch or less. the result is that you dont size yourself out of the fish so you will catch, pike, perch, chub. trout and a few surprises aswell. its just good fun on such light gear

A post about lures DSCF3571

top row: Rapala Shad Raps and Jointed Shad raps, in 4,5,&7cm
middle row, Rapala husky jerk, Rapala X rap, Salmo Minnow
Bottom left, a couple of mepps spinners
Bottom centre, Rapala x rap sub fishes like a jerkbait and has a sweet action
bottom right, Ace flipper, micro. tiny little jerkbait
also Spro super trout crank(the little orange one) has a great action the perch love it.

the secret is to not just reel these in, get some twitches into them and really bring them to life. drives the perch mad lol

just have fun with them A post about lures 198200

I dont get on as much as I used to due to technical difficulties,but glad I do when I read posts like these, quality work mate,this should give someone new to the weird/wonderful and occasionally expensive world of lure fishing a better idea of whats what,without confusing them too much. king

cheers for the replies lads, i must say im well into the ultalights atm and i would recommend them to anyone wanting to lure fish for a bit of fun and short sessions. most of my u/l sessions are after work jobbies just a couple of hours down the river or canal to chill out whilst the missus watches the soaps. its a way of fishing that can be fit into a busy work and family life without the silent treatment.

must get the jerkbaits out again soon though

This thread is usele

lol, what sort of venues you getting on mate?

never really had alot of success with the 4play, but i find the freestyler always gets some interest. jury is still out on the deviator as its quite a new addiion for me, but i find it useful to have some cheaper lures for the weirpools as they can be a bit snaggy and it gets expencive as im sure you know.

not a big fan of the smutlys, they tend to have a tighter action to the cobbs and stalkers which have a really wide glide, which is something i like. this has the lure hanging in the pikes face for longer, sometimes they do like it fast but i like the steady wide glide.

i like the small quick erratic jerkbaits, done well on them so i guess they'd suit? suck it and see i suppose! just wish they didn't cost so much! lol!

someone say db4's?

great lures the best of the smuttly range, and if you only use lures at the lighter end of the jerky spectrum then these and the t6 should be one of your first ports of call.

just noticed you like small quick and erratic jerkbits

it would seem you have done your homework well with the db4 but i would suggest a t6 as they do glide well better than the db4 more akin to the cobbs and stalkers but with a little extra effort they really do go erratic

where are you ?

Yeah.the blogs suffered without pictures,Where I live is right on the border of Suffolk and Essex,so have the Stour right on my doorstep.
Ive not re-joined the club as yet,so have just been wandering on day ticket to see where the pike are congregating,which,is the same areas as last year. After the fish I had on the 4play I could'nt get any to take confidently enough,they would snap at the lure,even nudging it to test it,but the just would'nt strike properly, so I went back the next day with soft lures,again,they showed interest,but just would'nt take properly. I feel these fish receive substantial pressure,and have seen just about every trick in the book, Lives would really be the best way to tackle shy fish.
