So just how do you know what will work and what will not. Surely they could all work under differing circumstances, why else would they make them (surly not to con us and just make more sales ).strikepro wrote:Hi Kads,
Not a bad price,the only thing id say is there is only a couple of really good colours there for Bream.
The hooks are to big ,they link together, suggest you get some Owner ST36BC Trebles
I myself have always gone for earthy tones for a more natural appearance, and also for the red belly splash to mimic an injured fish, but before taking ill, I started to try the more un-natural colors at times, for an aggravated territorial response and it did seem to work.
So just how do you decide when a lure is the right one to try?
Do you mostly use earthy tones to mimic bait?
Do you use bright colors and as a trespasser for an aggravated response?
Is it because of water clarity that you choose a color, what would you use under what conditions?
Can it be a good thing to go for larger lures for a territorial response or are you better off with small lures? (Does size really matter ?)
What species do you normally lure fish for, what is your favorite lure, favorite color, favorite size, what sort of response are you after, what makes you choose your lures?
