How To Prepare 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.

Before knowing how to make the lures, there are various items that should be bought such as the roll and the fishing bars. A long line is required for this lesson for it will give an extra slack. First thing to learn in this process is how to tie the ropes like you do for shoe laces by doubling the ropes over at about five inches.

Later, the entire loop should be passed through the lure without letting it get undone. It should be done in such a way that there are two sections going through the eye. After this, one must tie an overhead knot again like they were tying shoe laces. The loop should later be tightened by pulling both ends as tight as possible. The excess line must be trimmed using nail clippers.

There are various tips and warnings that must be taken into consideration when doing this task. The people doing this should first make sure they understand that the tag end is the one that will be hanging at the end of the line while the rest of the line will be hanging loosely from the rod. They can wet the knots with some saliva before tightening because this helps them stay stronger.

They must also avoid burning the ends of the knots as opposed to trimming them off with nail clippers because this can make them really weak. They must also always give themselves some leeway that will make the whole task easier. While doing this activity, one can easily hook themselves by accident therefore they must 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.

The American eel is also good bait. They can be distinguished by their snake looking bodies. They have sharp teeth and a small, sharp-pointed head. They can be found in ponds, water sheds, rivers streams and various other watery places. They are very irresistible when presented to the stripers. They can even be the best bait for fishing stripers.

With all the information given above, its evident that fishing is not a difficult thing to do. This will help the activity be fun and successful. If the correct measures are taken to account, trapping lots of fishes cannot be hard; in fact, one can catch as many they want.
