History

The fishing lure has been around since the caveman. They were first made out of bone and bronze. The Chinese and Egyptian used fishing rods, hooks, and lines as early as 2,000B. C. The first hooks were made out bronze which was strong but still very thin and less visible to the fish. The Chinese were the first to make fishing line, spun from fine silk. The modern fishing lure was made commercially in the United States in the early 1900's by the firm of Heddon and Pflueger in Michigan. Before this time most fishing lures were made by individual craftsman. Commercial-made lures were based on the same ideas that the individual craftsmen were making but on a larger scale. [1]

Methods

The fishing lure is tied with a knot onto the fishing line which is connected to the reel. The reel is attached to a rod. The motion is of the lure is made by winding line back on to the reel, by sweeping the fishing rod, jigging movements with the fishing rod, or by being pulled behind a moving boat ("trolling"). A reel is an object around which lengths of another material (usually long and flexible are wound for storage A fishing rod or a fishing pole is a Tool used to catch fish, usually in conjunction with the Sport of Angling, can also be used in An exception are artificial flies, commonly called flies by fly fishers, which either float on the water surface, slowly sink or float underwater, and represent some form of fish prey. Artificial fly is an Angling term closely associated with the sport of Fly fishing although artificial flies may be used in other forms of angling Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient Angling method most renowned as a method for catching Trout and Salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of

There are many types of fishing lures. They are all moved to different ways to resemble prey for the fish. The different lures are made to look like dying fish and fast moving fish. They include the following types:


These fishing lures can be made out of wood, plastic, rubber, metal and cork. They can have many moving parts and also no moving parts. They can be retrieved fast or slow. Some of the lures can be used by themselves or with another lure.

One advantage of use of artificial lures is a reduction in use of bait. This contributes to resolving one of the marine environments more pressing problems, that being the undermining of marine food webs by overharvesting "bait" species which tend to occur lower in the food chain http://www.seafriends.org.nz/issues/fishing/pauly1.htm. Another advantage of lures is that their use promotes improved survival of fish during catch and release fishing. Catch and release is a practice within Recreational Fishing intended as a technique of conservation. This is because lures reduce the incidence of deep hooking which has been correlated to fish mortality in many studies http://www.info-fish.net/releasefish/files/26/Hooking.pdf.

Daisy chain

A daisy chain is a "chain" of plastic lures, however they do not have hooks - their main purpose is to merely attract a school of fish closer to the lures with hooks. [2]

Typically, the main line of the daisy chain is clear monofilament line with crimped on droppers that connect the lure to the main line. The last lure can be rigged with a hook or unrigged. The unrigged versions are used as teasers while the hooked versions are connected to a rod and reel. The lures used on a daisy chain are made from cedar plugs, plastic squids, jets, and other soft and/or hard plastic lures.

In some countries (e. g. New Zealand, Australia) daisy chains can sometimes refer to a rig which is used to catch baitfish in a similar arrangement to a 'flasher rig' or a 'sabiki rig'; a series of hooks with a small piece of colourful material/feather/plastic attached to each hook.
