Savvy Lure Loyalty and the Terrible Toothy Twosome

Savvy Lure Loyalty and the Terrible Toothy Twosome - 2008/03-P58~62



1. Angling pressure is reason enough to stay away from traditional lures. More good anglers than ever are competing for the same fish on popular water.

在漁撈壓力大的水域傳統的路亞會失去效用



2. Several studies lead us to believe that fish can and do learn some level-for sure short-term, but potentially long-term, too.

魚類學習能力可能會是長期的，因此某些魚類對於假餌的戒心恐怕會持續一段時間



3. Once the fish had been caught on lures, catch rates decreased to remarkably low levels. It’s also important note that catch rates remained good on livebait. It quickly became obvious that the fish learned that eating lure was a negative.

假餌的效用會很快地遞減，但是活餌卻總是能夠吸引到魚類的追咬



4. Sights and sounds that once called fish up for dinner may eventually serve as a warning.

一但魚類對於某種假餌產生戒心之後，原本吸引魚類追咬的聲音及振動可能反而會變成警告的訊號



5. To work them deeper, calculate their fall as you would for countdown crankbaits, then slow your retrieve to keep them lower in the water column.

保持泳層深度是基本要求



6. The key is to envision your bait’s action. Time all speed variations, pauses, twitches, lifts, and falls to alter the bait’s performance. Then when strikes happen, duplicate and repeat. Experience and experimentation are primary ingredients.

要從魚類的角度來思考擬餌所要表現的動態，記住每次來追咬的情況



7. The way good anglers finally approach certain situations depends on past experience and their skills and confidence in certain approaches.

經驗、技巧以及對於釣法的信心是成功的基本要素



8. Try to envision what fish want. Then, when a fish hits, remember the tempo and pace that triggered the strike. Ideally, duplicating what you did will trigger more strikes that day, possibly for the remainder of the trip or the season.

記住吸引魚類追咬擬餌的手法及泳型



9. Getting lures to the appropriate depth is the first priority in fishing. Then they must be moving at the right speed. The right profile and working action are almost as important as speed. The lure’s appearance as it moves through the water is vital. Vibration plays an important role, not only in appearance but also in the feeling that surround a lure.

正確的泳層、適當的速度、正確的手法動作，還有就是產生的振動效果



10. Once thought of as situational lures that produced best on calm days, in shallow water, or during twilight, topwaters are now used by anglers almost all seasons long, no matter what the conditions. From a predator’s perspective, the surface offers a ceiling, an edge, like the shoreline.



11. Like preference for sound, speed desires can change.

擬餌的速度跟產生的聲響都很重要
