Hey everybody, welcome to the All Things Fishing Podcast, a podcast where each week I talk about just that.

This is All Things Fishing.

Hey, everybody, I'm excited to be recording the third episode of the All Things Fishing podcast this week.

I think Monday is going to be the day that I record my podcast. I've been doing the last few episodes on Monday.

I think it just works best for me. So, yeah, Monday is going to be my day for recording the episodes.

Anyway, this week I just wanted to talk a bit about lures. And when I see

lures for beginners, I mean like, um, it is a, it's usually a plastic thing with hooks embedded

into it. Usually these hooks are treble hooks, which means three hooks welded together.

That looks like a lot like a grappling hook. It looks exactly like a grappling hook.

And then most of them have like a spinner on the back or even two, one on the front and one on

the back. And I call them spinner. There's probably a better word for it. But the water pushes

against it as you're reeling it back in and it makes it turn it makes it like turn twist usually the

spinner is metal and it catches the fish's eye it like um shines a bit so yeah that's what a lure is

the way you use a lure is you cast it jerk it so usually you want to like jerk it a bit like

you reel a bit then you give it like a tiny jerk then you reel a bit and you give it a tiny jerk that's what you usually want to like jerk it a bit, like you reel a bit, then you give it like a tiny jerk, then you reel a bit and you give it a tiny jerk.

That's what you usually want to do because that makes the fish think it is a dying minnow or like a, like, it gives it the impression it's like an easy meal and it goes up and it attacks it and then you have a fish on the hook.

One of the bad parts about loavers is that you have to, one of the bad parts about lures is that

it really gets stuck. Since it's, since almost all lures use treble hooks, it's three times

the amount of hooks that can get stuck inside the

fish's mouth, especially with catfish. Catfish have really tough mouths. It's really hard to get

lures out of catfish's mouths. So yeah, that's the one bad part about lures. A good part, however,

is that you don't have to replace it nearly as much. Like you can just, yeah that you don't have to replace it nearly as much.
