Fishing lures are artificial baits designed to attract fish. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, mimicking the appearance and movement of natural prey. Common materials used for lures include plastic, metal, and wood. Anglers choose specific lures based on the type of fish they are targeting and the fishing environment. There are several types of fishing lures, including spinners, crankbaits, and jigs. Each type has a unique action in the water, which can entice fish to bite. Using the right lure can significantly increase the chances of a successful fishing trip.
