Lure

Welcome Dave, you will like it here!

Sounds good!

 

I don't understand what you are saying...

I used the word Noob for newbie ... nothing to do with you at all ... as per my quote, I was talking about using a rock wrap in net as a sinker but I see that another fisherman left that on one of the rivers. 

Nice smallie. Tournament fishing must be tough...

 

Lure - Lets keep some threads separate. Don't go chasing a fight.

Thanx Noob, this site is an access to new (noob) and old fisher people now a days, Internet. My intention is to let anyone learn right, no misinterpretation at all in reading any post. I post in the past some tips about which sinkers to use when you run out of and I seen it on one of the rivers, I was glad that readers make use of that but I didn't like that part that they left it there on the river. Another example are the lures that I posted, people use that too on one of the lakes, never seen that before on that lake but i didn't like that part that they left their junks.   

Fishing with lures has many advantages:

•  
• Lures are less messy than bait.
• Lures gut hook fewer fish (gut hooking is when the fish takes the hook deeply, or even completely swallows the hook).
•  

As far as disadvantages go, they are mostly related to cost:

•  
• Lures can be expensive compared to bait.
• Lures can be snagged on underwater obstacles or in trees, and the price of them makes it especially painful to lose.
