The Process Of Preparing 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 carrying out this activity, there are various warnings and tips that can be very useful. First and foremost, one must make sure that they understand that there is a tag end that should be hanging at the end while the other length will be hanging loosely on the rod. They can also take into consideration that wetting the knots with a little bit of saliva can make them much stronger.

They should not burn the finishes of the loops instead they ought to cut them off using nail clippers since this can make the knots really loose. They must also constantly give themselves some flexibility that will ease the whole task. While doing this task, one may easily hook themselves accidentally therefore they should be very careful.

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.

After learning all the things that have been listed above, it will be very easy to have fun while fishing with family or friends. If a person does the right thing, the problem will not be catching the fish but choosing which ones to take home.
