LURE INTRODUCTION

image57

When it comes to fishing LRF style, there’s a vast array of lures available to the angler, with some even coming pre-soaked and packaged in their own scented liquid. Some baits look like a natural food source such as worms, small baitfish and crustaceans whereas others are totally nondescript but somehow work. Probably the most popular type of lures for the LRF angler are soft plastics, but other types of artificial baits such as spinners, plugs and jigs are also very popular and work very well given the right conditions and location.

I’m going to talk about the lures that I use or have used in the past and also other types that are available such as plugs, spinners and jigs.

Mini ISOME uses the same soft material as the ISOME Soft. It has a thick and voluminous head with a thin tail and moves well when retrieving. Even small sections strongly stimulate the eating habits of fish. A bite-sized, soft lure that is very effective for a huge range of fish.
