Christmas Gift Guide | Lures
Fisherman's Warehouse presents a Lures Gift Guide for the Angler in Your Life
Can you ever have enough lures? We don’t think so. There are quite a few lures on the market designed to catch fishermen and not just fish, but the items on the following list are proven fish catchers that deserve a place in your arsenal if you are not already using them.
Z-Man Big TRD - $4.49
The standard Z-Man TRD is a staple for many anglers, but the bigger version is something that not everyone is throwing. It is a 4” bait that can still be fished on a Ned Rig, but it also excels on a wacky-rig or even on a drop-shot.
Dirty Jigs Luke Clausen Finesse Jig - $4.99
If you’ve ever fished with a Dirty Jig product, you already know that their quality is second to none. Add into that the vast selection of skirt colors and a wide range of styles, and it makes sense that they are so popular.
This little finesse jig gets bit in all conditions and does not hang up very easily, making it an excellent choice for fishing around rock and other snags. It is built solid and catches plenty of fish.
Strike King 6XD Crankbait - $6.50
For deep crankbaits, it is hard to beat the Strike King 6XD. They come in a massive selection of colors, and they are relatively affordable compared to other brands. If you fish deep crankbaits often, you know that they can get hung up on brush and rocks, and the price of these baits makes it easier to swallow when you lose a lure.
The baits get down quickly and will reach depths over 17-feet. The Strike King 6XD is consistent running bait and should be in everyone’s tackle box.
Strike King KVD Deep Jerk Bait - $9.49
For deep-diving jerkbaits, the Strike King KVD Deep Jerk Bait is a solid performer. It is easy to work, and the action of the bait is good and simply catches fish. They come with quality hooks, and the lure will reach down to 11-feet.
Ima Finesse Popper - $9.99
Pretty much every lure company makes a popper, and they are all good at popping water. What makes the Finesse Popper better is how easy it is to both pop and walk side-to-side. This adds another dimension to the bait, and it excels when you are on a good topwater bite.
Z-Man Jack Hammer - $17.99
It took me a long time to get on the Jack Hammer bandwagon, and this season was the first time I gave it a shot. I always stuck with the ChatterBaits that are half the price, but I quickly realized what I was missing when I first tied the Jack Hammer on.
The price is higher, but every component on the bait is better or beefed up. What makes the bait so good is how easy it is to work, and the vibration starts immediately and never stops. Other baits would sometimes take a few turns of the reel to get going, but this one begins chattering immediately.
Picking a handful of lures that you have confidence in is usually a better approach then randomly buying items. These six baits listed above are consistent performers and will catch fish anywhere.
