Spinner Fishing Lure
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
How many casts should I give a lure before switching it for another type?
For example, if I'm fishing alone, with no-one else around to ask what's working, so I decide to start with a a white spinner but don't get any results, how long is long enough before trying a Rattle-Trap or rubber worm, instead? I've always just used live bait and done very little lure fishing. but am intersted in trying it, now. I'm fishing for bass but wonder if I have much chance for success without more experience and knowledge of how to **really** use them the best way to attract the fish?
The answer to your question depends on the water you are fishing; fresh or salt. Another factor is are you trolling along or staying in one spot.
I do alot of wade fishing in salt water and I will let the water color and conditions determine what I use and how long I stay with a particular lure.
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make when fishing with artificial is they reel in to fast. Make your cast let the lure sink a little then cut your retrieval speed in half and vary the speed when reeling in as well as stop and let the lure drop during retrieval which will also trigger strikes.
if you are staying in one spot and casting cast in an ark starting from one side and work to the other incorporating everything I just mentioned, if you do not get any strikes by the time you get to the end of the ark change lures.
Using a time limit is not the best way to judge when to change lures, covering an area completely is the best way to know if a lure change is recommended. Do not be shy about throwing back to an area you just caught a fish at because there is a reason it was there, who knows there may be a school there and it may be a solitary fish.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
