How To Prepare Striper Lures

By Christa Jarvis


Fishing is possibly one of the best outdoor activities that one can ever engage in. It can however be very boring when one is not catching any fish, to avoid this phenomenon, it is important that people know all the basic things that are important before going fishing. For instance, when one is going to catch stripers they must know how to tie striper lures. Any kind of lure whether striper or not requires a good enough knot to make sure the fish never gets away once it has been caught.

The things that a person will need when they are learning how to tie a lure are fishing rods and reel and the lure itself. When doing this, it is recommended that they start the process with an extra-long line because they will need some extra slack. The next thing is to double over around five inches of line just like it is done when tying shoe laces.

The second step is to let the whole loop pass through the lure very carefully so that it does not get undone. After doing this, there should be two sections through the eye of the lure. After completing the second step, another overhead look just like the first should be tied. To make sure it is tight, the ends should be pulled in the opposite directions and later trim off the excess line.

When trying this action, there are some warnings and guidelines that may be very valuable. First and foremost, a person must make certain that they know about the tag end that is supposed to be hanging to the end whereas the other length should be hanging slackly on the bar. They should also take into deliberation that wetting the loops with a little saliva can help them to be much stronger.

It is important to know that burning the ends of the knots makes them weaker; they are supposed to trim them instead. They should give themselves enough leeway on the tag that will be easier to work with. They should be very careful not to hook themselves when they are tugging on the tag line to tighten the knot.

Learning how to prepare the lures is certainly not the only essential thing to do when going casting. One should also find out the best baits to be fixed on the lure. For example, the shad is perhaps the most frequently used bait by fishermen. Shad can be gotten below or under dams. It may be identified by looking at its silver like body with green backs and big scales. One must choose the shads which are around 4 inches.

Another good example of baits for catching fish are the American eels. This is a worm with a snake looking body and very sharp teeth. They have very tiny and sharp-pointed heads. They may be found in many water sheds, rivers, ponds, streams and other places. They are tempting to stripers hence good for bait.

With all the above information then fishing should not be a hard thing to pull off. This will make the activity fun and above all successful. If the right thing is done then the number of fish caught will be so many that one will have a problem taking them all home.
