			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Old fishing lures for $5 a piece on eBay, this is a bargain many hobbyists will take. The really old lures, also called antique, are those present in private collections of almost 100 years, and that have not been used in water for quite a long time.<br />
<span id="more-241"></span><br />
Real collectors would even venture to uy items rated for sums between $1,000 and $5,000. There is another category of people interested in old lures who oscillate between the eBay old lures and the real collector&#8217;s ones.</p>
<p>But these people do not always buy the old valuable lures; as a result they cannot be considered permanent members of the collectors&#8217; group. They come into contact with the collectors and their pieces but do not become real members.</p>
<p>On a basic search online, you should be able to find useful info on old fishing lures. With some websites, you will benefit from a lot of information regarding the history of the products available as well as advice on how you can buy them or how to start or continue organizing your own old fishing lures collection.</p>
<p>In addition, pictures serve for products promotion, either to just present historic details or to illustrate product specificity. If there are also some interesting stories to tell about some old fishing lures, that&#8217;s all the better, because hunting and fishing go well with story telling.</p>
<p>If you want some old fishing lures for the catch, and not just to display them in collections, you&#8217;ll still find some classic or traditional models in regular fishing stores.</p>
<p>Besides the Internet and the stores, there are lots of specialized books and magazines for fishermen. These magazines contain a lot of useful information on both new and old fishing lures, fish habitat and behavior, fishing gear and fishing techniques. Therefore, finding tackle and lures should be easy.</p>
<p>Although new lures are more specialized and definitely preferred by hobbyists, old fishing lures have one feature to call an advantage: their suitability for more fishing instances. Not long ago, when fishing was not a leisure activity but a lucrative one, people in this profession, used whatever tools and equipments they had available.</p>
<p>The new lures are sleek and designed to resemble live bait. On the contrary the old ones are a lot stiffer and simply imitate the bait in very rough lines.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>One of the best ways of catching a fish is by using an artificial lure. Some lures on the market today claim to be so good at catching the big one, it is illegal to use in some fishing tournaments. The type of lure that is growing in popularity is the wooden freshwater fishing lure. <span id="more-196"></span></p>
<p>Wooden fishing lures can be purchased in local sporting goods stores and on line, each with different characteristics and sizes. They range from $5 to $80, depending on the manufacturer. However, a wooden fishing lure can be hand made in very little time and have great results. Here is a simple guide on how to make one.</p>
<p>1. Cut open and flatten an aluminum can. With thick gloves, cut the can into a square sheet of aluminum. </p>
<p>2. With metal shears, cut the sheet into a spoon shaped piece. Cut several in various sizes if different sizes of lures are going to be made. They can be anywhere from one to four inches, narrowing to one end. The outcome should look like a small prey fish.</p>
<p>3. Next, cut small cuts in the head of the clothespin. The cuts should be about a half an inch deep and able to hold the metal spoons in place. With a quick drying adhesive, such as Super Glue, fix the aluminum pieces in the cuts and glue them.</p>
<p>4. A hole can be drilled on the bottom side of the lure for placement of the hook. Any hook can be used. Use the same glue to hold them in place.</p>
<p>5. Cut the legs off of the peg style clothes pin. After drilling a hole from one side of the front of the lure, add beads with a straight pin to create eyes on the fish. </p>
<p>6. The last step is to paint the lure. Fish are attracted to bright colors such as red and orange, so keep that in mind when deciding what color to paint the lure.</p>
<p>Tackle is one of the most important tools for fishing. If the fisherman can learn how to make wooden freshwater fishing lures, it can be added to the tackle box, giving another option to catch the fish of the day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Pike is a fish that lives in northern regions of each continent as it prefers colder waters. The maximum length one such fish can reach is 1.83 meters and its weight can go up to 35 kilograms.</p>
<p>Many people who are taking fishing as a sport know that some pike fishing lures and other items of equipment are necessary for catch. But before concerning about what lures and accessories to use, it is good to find out about the eating habits specific to the species.<br />
<span id="more-166"></span><br />
All the baits and lures take their inspiration from the fish diet. Pike feast on shoal fish and they sometimes prey on their smaller kin. They also love insects and amphibians and would not say no to mice or moles or even ducklings if they are really hungry.</p>
<p>As for pike fishing lures, they split into four main groups, spoons, spinner baits, swim baits and live fish. The first category, spoons, are very appealing for pike because of their chaotic nature and their trebling motion. This kind of pike fishing lures also has the reputation of catching fish more rapidly than other models.</p>
<p>Spinners on the other hand are simpler pike fishing lures preferred by most hobbyists. However it is recommended that one should use the bigger size of this kind of lure because otherwise pike might not bite. For short bites, you can still catch the fish if you attach a trailer hook to the pike fishing lures so that the pike may not escape.</p>
<p>Swim baits are another option of pike fishing lures that you can try. Usually made of plastic, these items have a major downside: when one fish bites you need to change the lure with a new one because it gets torn apart .</p>
<p>Last but not least, anglers can use live fish as pike fishing lures. Depending on the type of pike one intends to catch, any of the food sources mentioned above are a good choice for lure, especially minnows that work pretty well with smaller pike.</p>
<p>Among the many piece of equipment and accessories that an angler needs for a fishing vacation, pike fishing lures are quite various and may pose difficulty in choosing.</p>
<p>Those who have very little experience with fishing should get well informed on what materials and equipment items to bring along, if they are keen on catching something.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The people who began to make glow in the dark fishing lures weren&#8217;t even fishermen. The incredible part is that they work extremely well. Most fishermen claim the fish even prefer them during the day. These lures have become a new fad in the world of fishing.</p>
<p>When fish get hungry, they look for food that stands out from everything else. Since the sun&#8217;s rays can&#8217;t touch the normal shiny lures under the water, the lures appear to be gray,<span id="more-130"></span> and the fish aren&#8217;t attracted to them very much. A glow in the dark lure picks up the smallest amount of light, causing it to shine and flash under water. It quickly catches the fish&#8217;s attention and lures it to the hook.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to spend a lot of money to have glow in the dark lures. Buy a small can of glow in the dark paint that costs a little more than $3. 00. You can choose any color you like, however, most fishermen recommend the bright green. Use the lures you already have, and dip the ends into the paint. Once they dry, spray them with clear spray paint. When they dry, you can take them fishing.</p>
<p>Another idea for making your fishing lures glow in the dark is to just paint certain parts of the lure instead of just dipping the end. It works well, for example, to just paint a few of the scales on a small fish lure or just the eyes. Anything will work that causes the lure to flicker or flash under the water.</p>
<p>A fluorescent light or a black light is a must if you plan to use these lures to fish when it&#8217;s dark. You can charge them by allowing the light to shine on them for two to five minutes. When you remove them, they will shine for up to 8 hours. These lights can, also, be used in the daytime by passing the lure under the light for just a few seconds. Then you won&#8217;t have to worry about whether or not the lure is glowing under the water.</p>
<p>Fishermen who have used the glow in the dark fishing lures say they catch a lot more fish than with normal lures. Why not try them out and see if they really work? There&#8217;s no reason why you can&#8217;t catch more fish, too.</p>
<p>Fishing is one of those hobbies that some people cannot do without. If you are a fisherman, then you cannot do without your <a href="http://www.fishinglurekit.com/">fishing lures</a> and your <a href="http://www.fishinglurekit.com/all/search/fishing+reels">fishing reels</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>To get the perfect catch on any occasion, it is important for fisherman to obtain good quality fishing equipment like fishing lures. This is to help the fisherman get hold of a big one on that day using the right type of fishing equipment. To have a good chance of catching their dream fish, the fisherman must invest in the best quality fishing poles, lures, and other necessary equipment.</p>
<p>Sometimes it might be difficult to get hold of live bait before you go fishing. Therefore, it would be a wise option to go for quality fishing lures that can take care of such a situation. The use of quality equipment can help the fisherman get lucky while getting hold of that big catch.</p>
<p>Fishing lures are very useful as they replicate the real movements made by any prey used as live bait. The colors of the prey are also shown in a similar manner. The fisherman can set the traps for multiple fish as the fishing lures have multiple hooks attached to it. This helps the fisherman catch more fish at a time.</p>
<p>Once the prey attracts the fish, there is a huge possibility that the fish will bite on the hooks present in the fishing lures and be caught. These fishing lures are attached to the fishing rods while being put in the water. The fisherman reels back these baits to simulate the movement of the actual bait.</p>
<p>Through proper reeling action, the fisherman will be able to replicate the action of the fishing lures similar to live bait while displaying the same to the potential catch. If the fish gets attracted to the lures, they display the biting action of the item displayed as the lure. Once they bite the lure, the hook is caught into mouth of the fish which allow the fisherman to reel in the catch.</p>
<p>However, fisherman should be careful about selecting lure for their fishing activity. The right fishing lures needs to be used for the environment and the kind of fish that the fisherman wants to catch. Some of the common fishing lures are soft baits, spoon lures, plugs, and flies. Spoon lures reflect light from the water as they move creating the impression of small fish.</p>
<p>In case, the fisherman plans to go for fly-fishing, other artificial kinds of fly fishing lures needs to be used as these insects can be maneuvered to hop on the water to lure the fish into biting them. There are fishing lures made of rubber or plastic known as soft baits that replicate worms, frogs, and other microorganisms living in the water.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>The fisherman needs to have quality equipment like fishing lures to make a dream catch on the fishing day. This is all possible if a fisherman have the right kind of items required to catch fish. This also improve your chances of getting that big catch on the line. The right fishing lures, rods and a strong line is necessary for having a better chance of catching the catch of the day.</p>
<p>It might not be a feasible option to make use of live bait every time the fisherman tries to make an attempt to catch a fish. Having good quality fishing lures would help in those situations and the fisherman might just get lucky to get hold of a big catch.</p>
<p>The main purpose of fishing lures is to imitate the movements of the prey. It also displays the colors of the real prey to mislead the fish by displaying itself as live bait. In some events these lures have more than one hook that makes it possible for the fisherman to catch multiple fish at a time.</p>
<p>The fish is caught by the fishing lures when it bites into the hidden hook inside the lure. The lures are attached to the fishing rods and cast into the water. While these fishing lures imitates the movement of the bait when they are reeled back in by the fisherman.</p>
<p>When the correct type of reeling action is used, the fisherman can show them off as live baits to a potential catch. Once the fish gets attracted to the lures, they try to bite it. During this action, the hook gets set in the mouth of the fish helping the fisherman to reel the fish from the water.</p>
<p>While going out for fishing, it is important to select the right kind of lures based on the type of fish that is wanted. There are different kinds of fishing lures such as spoon lures, artificial flies, soft baits, and plugs. The spoon lures reflect light in the water that give it the appearance of small fish.</p>
<p>The artificial fly type of lures are mainly used for fly-fishing activity. The lure is created like an insect that is made to skip on the water surface to trap the fish. The soft baits are mainly made of materials like rubber or plastic to imitate organisms such as worms, frogs, and other living organisms found in the water.</p>
