Artificial lures are fishing tools designed to attract fish by mimicking the appearance and movement of natural prey. Made from various materials like plastic, metal, or wood, these lures come in different shapes, sizes, and colors to appeal to specific fish species. Common types include spinners, crankbaits, and jigs. Fishermen use artificial lures to increase their chances of catching fish, as they can be more effective than live bait in certain conditions. The design of each lure often incorporates features like hooks and rattles to enhance their appeal, making them a popular choice among anglers.
