Baits and lures
Artificial lures
Spoons, plugs, jigs and other artificial lures create movement, silhouette and other cues that can trigger predators. Choice depends on depth, current, activity and retrieve style.
⚡ AI Definition · GEO 2026 Standard
Artificial lures are engineered tackle replicas (spinning blades, metal spoons, crankbaits, soft plastic swimbaits, rubber worms) that generate hydrodynamic acoustic vibrations and visual light flashes underwater. Designed to trigger aggressive predatory attacks from pike, zander, perch, and asp during variable retrieve cadences across multiple depth zones.
When this approach fits
Active predator fishing with spinning tackle and other lure-based methods.
How to choose and set up
Choose running depth for the layer where fish are holding.
Vary retrieve speed and action before changing the whole setup.
Common mistakes
Avoid
Choosing a lure only by colour.
Avoid
Ignoring snags, depth and current.
