Artificial lures can increase your chances to catch more fish. Artificial lures will enable you to spot bites much more precisely. You can use Rattle traps, Popping plugs, and Soft plastic lures. Here are some of our most popular lures. Continue reading for more information. These baits come with a few disadvantages and advantages. Your strikes will be noticeably larger!
Soft plastic lures
There are many soft-plastic artificial baits currently on the marketplace. Some are hybrids that combine a hard-plastic front half with a soft-plastic tail. These baits have lifelike looks and action and are usually tipped with treble hooks. Some baits have biodegradability, and Berkley has developed a biodegradable version to some of its lures. Additionally, the baits have natural buoyancy and are non-toxic.
You can make your artificial soft plastic bait smell better by scenting it before you pour it. Some add salt, glitter and garlic to their baits. For bait revival, some people add mineral oil. To preserve their quality, you should keep your baits in a sealed container. If you aren’t happy with the results, it is possible to reuse them.
Rattle traps
Rat-Lap, or rattling trap, is an artificial bait which makes a loud and subtle sound while making slight movements. These lures are used often in early-season and cold water presentations. However, they can also be vertically or horizontally jigged. Their rattles can be compared to the sound of a wounded shad. While most of these lures are rigged on the bottom, some are trolled.
If you are fishing in the Delta, you'll want a medium action rod and a high speed reel. Combinations of colors attract aggressive fish. If the water is clear, bright colors are best. Choose darker colors if the water appears murky or dark. Most bait and tackle shops carry Rat-L-Traps. These traps are also available at local discount shops and Walmart. Rattle traps may also be used in rivers and lakes as well as in the ocean.
Rattle plugs
A rattleplug is an effective and cost-effective artificial bait. The rattle plugs are less snag-resistant that crankbaits because they have a smaller lip. They work best in open and near the edges. Because of their smaller body and treble hookeds, they are less wind-resistant than traditional lures. You should choose a rod that has a sensitive tip for vibration detection when using rattle plugs.
Plugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are common in both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Some plugs are solid, while others are broken into two pieces, usually with a hinge. These plugs are also known as "brokenback" plugs. Rattle plugs can have rattles either inside or outside. The success of your fishing trip depends on which type you choose.
Popping plugs
Popping corks make a great fishing lure. The sounds of popping corks attract game fish that are interested in the bait dangling below the cork. Popping cork floats several hundred feet below the surface of salt water. These corks are excellent for catching multiple fish at once by being used with small livebait.
Poppers are diving lures that imitate the life of bugs or other floating prey. The popper is rigged with a hook in the front part and offset hook through the body to create a fluttering action. The popper is great for this purpose, as it produces a distinct sound when rolled through water.
