Types of
mackerel fishing lures
The most important thing when you want to
choose best mackerel fishing lures is that
it should be eye catching. The characteristic such as the lures need to be
shiny like silver spoon, however it can also comes with bright colors such as
yellow, orange, green, blue, pink, and so on. And another consideration to look
for is the heavy lure because it will allow you to cast far distances so
distant school of mackerel fish can be reached without you need to disturb the
fish so they come closer to the boat. The last thing to note is that you should
ensure the lure is able to be reeled very quickly. Be careful when choosing
soft plastic fishing lures, because there are those designed to have some shape
intended for slow retrieve and when you reeled such lures very fast then they
are tend to spin in circles.
Several types of mackerel fishing lures such as:
1.
Hard metal lures
This one come with wide
variety of types and being heavy and metal give more advantages. Just like we
already mentioned before, heavy lures will allow you to catch far away and
reach distant school of fish and this is especially essential if you fishing
mackerel in the surf or off a pier because you might not have ability to get
closer to the fish. The second benefit is that they are tough. It should be
noted since some type of mackerel fish like Spanish mackerel has sharp and triangular
set of teeth which can slice through soft plastic lures. And not to mention by
using metal lures, you can use it again and again without losing the lure
effectiveness.
2.
Soft plastic lures
Although we are mentioned
that soft plastic lures can be sliced through by mackerel fish teeth, however
they can still becomes an effective mackerel
fishing lures. However, you need to buy the one that can be reeled very
fast and you should pick an eye catching shiny bright color. Next, you need to
choose a soft plastic lures that allow you to cast far away and use the right
size to fish mackerel. The disadvantages for using soft plastic lures or baits
is that they get easily torn up, but they can also being used as many as
possible unless you want to catch certain types of mackerel fish like Spanish
mackerel with strong teeth so the lures might not last long.
3.
Artificial flies
Certain types of mackerel
like to munch small anchovies and small shiny and white artificial flies work
perfectly to mimic this thing. They are very deadly for hungry mackerel fish
and artificial flies can be thrown easily. This type of small shiny thing is
perfect to catch mackerel near the beaches.
Those are several types of mackerel fishing lures and of course there are
still many types of bait available. You can even use living baits to catch
mackerel or non-living baits by using frozen fish and the cut into fillets or
chunks. The smell of the fish will attract the mackerel really quick.
The best lures out of the three mackerel fishing lures above is of
course the heavy metal one. The reason is that because it allows you to cast
far away to reach large school of mackerel fish and the material is really
durable so it can be used multiple times without being torn up unlike soft
plastic material. However, if you do not mind losing a ton of soft plastic
mackerel lures then it is okay to use them. Anyway, whatever fishing lures you
want to use, just make sure that you cast far and then reel very fast.
