Coastline Treasures

To lure is to attract, tempt, entice.  Fishing Home Décor can lure you in just as one’s fishing lure can entice a potential catch.  In recreational fishing, the lure is tied to the end of the fishing line and it designed to move like fish prey.  Their intent is to use movement, vibration and color to catch the attention of the fish so that they will bite the hook.  Lures can be made of wood, plastic, rubber, metal, cork or material such as feathers, string and tinsel to name a few.  Some are used alone and some are used together.  Each creates its own movement and vibration.

 There are many types of lures; a jig, surface lures or top water lures, spoon lures, plugs or crank baits, artificial flies or other water creatures, spinner bait or swim bait.  It is important to know the difference and when it is appropriate to use each one.  Lures are more fish friendly as well by reducing the incidence of ‘deep hooking’ which is traumatic to the fish.  They also help maintain the appropriate food chain by decreasing the amount of bait needed.  There is not the extra catching of ‘bait’ fish and thus maintain a better balance in the marine web chain.  Lures are good for the fish and its environment.
