This article explains the difference between dead baits and lures for fishing
One of the most common questions in the fishing world is whether to use natural baits or lures for angling. Unfortunately, as simple as the question sounds, the answer is not so straightforward. Depending on the situation, either can be good for you.
Before moving forward, let us understand lures and baits separately.
lures are small, man-made objects that are designed to look like different items that the fish preys on. Anglers attach the lures to the end of a fishing line and use them to deceive the fish into taking a bite.
There are different types of lures available in the market, and you can choose according to your specific requirement. The lures are made of different materials such as rubber, metal, plastic, or even a mix of other materials.
Baits, on the other hand, are actual invertebrates that can either be alive or dead. You can use either to catch fish. The most significant advantage of using bait is that it attracts a wide variety of different fishes. Furthermore, if you can find your baits, then it does not cost anything.
Both baits and lures have their advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages of using lures is that once you invest money in buying some, you can reuse them for a long time. Additionally, if you are using lures, you can put them anywhere. Therefore, they do not require any special storage.
One of the most notable disadvantages of lures is that they are costly, and you need a little bit of trial and error to find what works for you. While much straightforward in use, Baits can be messy, smelly, and require some special storage.
