How do you tie a fishing lure to the main line?

 

How To Tie The Palomar

  1. Double about six inches of the main line and run it through the hook eye.

  3. Pull the loop down and around the entire hook or lure.

How to tie a lure on a fishing line?


The Palomar Knot

This is as simple as fishing knots can get. Basically, you're just tying an overhand knot with a small loop through the eye of the hook and then taking the hook back through the loop. Snip the tag end of the line and you're done.

. Improved Clinch Knot

This is the simple knot I use myself for almost every fishing application. It couldn't be easier to do. You're just running one end through the eye of the hook or lure, looping it a few times and then looping that tag end back through the loop again. Pull it tight and clip the tag end and you're ready to fish.

Trilene Knot

This knot goes by a few different names. You may hear someone refer to this as the "clinch knot" or "double clinch knot," but they're all the same thing.


These are good "catch all" knots

There many other types of knots out there, and a growing numbers of types of fishing line, too. The Surgeon's knot, the snell knot, the rapala knot and the uni knot to name a few. But the three we've outlined here are good ones to know because they'll work for just about any fishing situation, not just artificial lures.

Fishing lures are small, artificial objects often shaped like a fish's prey that are attached to a hook and tied to the end of a fishing line. They are used to attract fish to your line.

How to use a fishing lure?

Lures are usually used with a fishing rod and reel and can be bought commercially or made by hand. They're typically made out of materials such as plastic, cork, rubber, wood, or metal and sometimes have feathers or tinsel attached to them to resemble the moving parts of fish prey, as is the case in fly fishing flies.


How to fish with lures?

Cast your lure and point the tip of the fishing rod towards the water. You should begin by moving the rod slowly before gradually increasing the speed to mimic the movement of an escaping prey. The idea here is to convince your targeted fish that the lure is an actual prey trying swimming for safety.


Is it better to fish with bait or lures?

Many species of fish are much less responsive to lures than they are to bait. Lure fishing generally demands better-quality tackle and a higher degree of skill than bait fishing. Lure collecting can become at least as addictive (and expensive) as lure fishing.

 

Here at Lew Dog Lures, we are avid fisherman attempting to make the most realistic lures around. We decided the best way to accomplish this would be to attach a picture of a real fish to lures we love to use.  Pleases check out our store www.lewdoglures/store

Pitching and Flipping When bass are not all that active and are hiding in thick cover.
March 26, 2021
One of the reasons Bass are North America’s most popular gamefish is they are somewhat easier to catch than other species, primarily because they are so abundant.

Below are critical techniques you should master to maximize your performance and success as a bass angler.
