Ask any successful fisherman and he will tell you that getting a fish on the hook is easier said than done. However, this job can be made much easier with the help of fishing bait and lures which is why FishingBaitSource is proud to offer you a large selection of quality fishing bait to help you get the fish out of the water and onto your hook.
Fishing bait and lures are made to resemble foods that fish are attracted to such as worms and smaller fish, called bait fish. When in the water, bait and lures use their color and movement to help catch the eye of fish and lure them in. There are many different types of lures and bait to choose from, although most bait falls into two categories: natural bait and artificial bait.
Natural bait is a favorite among many fishermen and can be either living or dead. Worms, minnows, grasshoppers, frogs and maggots are some of the most popular forms of natural bait. What makes natural bait so popular is that it doesn’t have to cost a thing. Most fishers find natural bait in their own backyard or at the very body of water they plan to fish. Another form of natural bait is prepared bait. Like natural bait, prepared bait can also be found outside of a store and most commonly consists of kernel corn, doughballs and hotdogs. Some fishermen also prefer to use salmon eggs and stink baits as forms of prepared bait.
For those that don’t like touching worms and other creatures, artificial bait may be your best bet. The most popular forms of artificial bait and lures are spoons, spinnerbaits and plugs. Spoons are by far the most simple of all lures, and just like the name says, they resemble the bowl of a dinner spoon. When cast into the water and reeled in, spoons twist and turn, allowing light to reflect off their smooth surface and catch the eyes of nearby fish.
Spinnerbaits are a bit more complicated than spoons and get their name because once underwater, the spinnerbait begins to spin in a propeller like motion which makes vibrations in the water and allows flashes of light to bounce off the body of the spinnerbait. Spinnerbaits have more components than spoons and consist of a metal wire with two hooks on one side and a flashy, metal spinner at the other side.
Plugs are one of the most common forms of bait used when fishing and can range in size from one inch to eight inches. Also known as crankbaits, plugs have a fishlike body with at least two hooks protruding from the body. The fishlike resemblance of the plug, along with the movement it makes when being reeled in, helps to catch the eye of neighboring fish.
The way to a fish’s stomach is through his eyes and the way to catch his eye is by using quality bait.
