We went to the supply store and we want to buy fake bait from a quality brand like Yo-zuri. So, how should we choosing right lure? In previous articles, we emphasized that it is important to determine our target fish. After determining the type of fish, it may be useful to get help from our experienced fishermen friends who have successfully caught this fish.
For example, Yo-zuri Tobimaru Jr. is a widely used fake bait for bluefish. Next comes the Daiwa Princess model lure, which is a more affordable option. For sea bass fishing, the Rapala Skitter Pop model can be considered ideal. The favorites of experienced fishermen are generally tried and tested models.
