Introduction |
Talking about lure fishing for fish some will think of fishing for trout on their local stream is spinners and others may consider the marlin fishing we see Matt Hayes enjoying in Mexico and the size of the lures he uses for hooking into those magnificent fish.
For the record lure fishing is generally understood to be the sport of catching any fish using an artificial bait. This can be an expertly placed "green wells glory" fly on a brook for trout or indeed a gaudy plastic squid shaped lure fishing at speed behind a boat for sail fish or marlin

European Lure Fishing |
The majority of lure fishing we see today is done either from boats or the shore using plastic imitation fish style shapes to tempt a predator such as pike, perch, cubb, zander or trout. we could consider fly fishing as a lure fishing sport but as its a discipline all its own we leave it out of our web site for now with more information being available on www.fly-fishing.ie

American Infulence |
The American style of lure fishing has had significant impact on our styles of lure fishing in the last tens years. Certainly before this the majority of lure fishing you might have seen would have been from a sea front pier with anglers jigging brightly colored feathers for mackerel or using the more traditional plate / spoon spinner in various sizes for pike or trout.

Skill or Style |
There are a number of different ways to lure fish depending on your chosen species and tackle. The style of fishing are broken down into two main areas firstly jerkbait fishing and what we'll call traditional style lure fishing.
Jerk Bait Fishing
This style of fishing uses a very ridgid rod and multiplier reel and the action of the lure is directly affected by the movement of the rod istelf.
Traditional Lure Fishing
This is done with spoons and jigs whose action is associated to a moving part on the lure itself, this could be a considered a more boring style of lure fishing as there is little or no change in the style.
Jerk baiting is normally used with a braided line while the traditional type of lure fishing uses a monofilament line a stretch is less of an issue.
