BAIT AND LURE BASICS
What Do Fish Eat?
Natural Bait
Worms, shrimp, minnows, insects, and other natural foods can attract fish through scent, movement, and appearance.
Artificial Lures
Spinners, jigs, spoons, plugs, and soft plastics imitate prey or create movement that can cause fish to strike.
Match the Size
Small fish often need smaller hooks and bait. Larger bait is not always better.
Check the Rules
Some waters limit the kinds of bait, lures, or hooks anglers may use. Always check current regulations.
