The Latest Trend In Fishing Lures Is...

There have been many advances in the technology of fishing lures lately, and to keep up with the trends it helps to know what cutting edge designs are being used to catch fish these days.

Introducing Lighted Fishing Lures

Lighted fishing lures can be used effectively to attract predatory fish, such as Bass. Some of these battery powered lures are embedded with LEDs that can be used for fishing during the night, or even during the day, but are usually more successful at night-time.

There are other types of lighted fishing lures which contain glows sticks that really only glow at night time. Some distinguish the latter as glow-in the-dark lures, but in the end they basically have a similar result.

The Advantages Of Fishing With A Light Lure

A battery powered lure often comes with a strobe or blinking option and can usually last a whole lot longer than a glow stick - anywhere from 80-400 hours. Most of these are only activated when they are in the water so that their batteries are conserved even further, plus there are no moving parts necessary.

On the other hand, glow sticks do not run the risk of leakage of the outer shell and damage or shorts to the internal electronics, especially when wrestling with a fish. For this reason, metal light lures are usually best when opting for the LED variety as they will be more difficult to destroy.

Lighted fishing lures often perform best in low visibility such as at night or in murky water. Lights come in a huge variety of colours to simulate different types of bait, and also to catch the eyes of different kinds of fish. Red is a particularly effective colour, especially for attracting fish of the bass family, as it simulates the blood of injured prey. Red is the most common colour used by anglers for its effectiveness.

... And Some Of Their Disadvantages

There are differing opinions amongst anglers about light lures. Some doubt their effectiveness at catching fish altogether, and some claim that they can break easily or do not work out of the box. In any case, a light lure holds the current record for catching the most basses, so it’s totally up to you to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages and decide if you want to include a lighted fishing lure as part of your arsenal of fishing weaponry.

When buying, however, make sure that the product comes with a warranty in order to maximize your investment.
