The Best Trolling Fishing Lures


Author: Bill Ridger

Most fishermen know that trolling is a very effective way to catch fish regardless of where you are. Trolling works in both lakes, streams, in the ocean. If you have no idea what this form of fishing is all about, then I will be happy to explain momentarily, but first, lets discuss the matter of this article. In this article, I will be going over some lures used for trolling and how to go about using them.



One of the best trolling fishing lures is the spoon. Mostly used in the ocean and in rivers for salmon, the spoon reflects a great amount of light and therefore attracts a lot of fish, especially in the ocean. Many species of fish, such as mackerel, barracudas, and king mackerel are attracted to this reflection and often strike at the lure.



Another great trolling lure is the crank bait. Crank baits are great because they do not require any down rigging. Rather, the lip on this particular bait keeps it down. The lip on the front of a crank bait enables it to dive down. A fast speeds; a spoon will rise up to the surface and attract less fish. Therefore, fishermen have to use something to keep it at a certain depth. Crank baits are most often used for trolling in lacks. Species of fish like bass will strike at these lures.



When trolling in the ocean, another great lure is the squid. You have probably seen these umbrella like lures being used to catch marlin and sail fish.



The last trolling fishing lure that we will cover is the umbrella rig. This rig works great almost anywhere because it has a unique tactic. There is a group of lures upfront with one hanging to the rear. Fish often attack the one in the rear because they sense the weakness.
