Fishing: Pick-a-lure
Spoons and Wobblers share a common action when retrieved they move side-to-side, and are meant to resemble a bait or forage fish. Their action and varying colors are an attraction to fish. They can be cast out and retrieved or trolled.
Spinners are broken into parts the eye, where the line is tied; the blade, which spins and gives the lure its action; the body that can be metal or plastic, and the hook, which is usually a treble hook that is often dressed with feathers or fur. When pulled through the water the flashing blade resembles a fleeing fish and attracts a strike.
Jigs are lures where the weight is attached to a hook. They are considered to be the most versatile of the lure family and can be fished at any depth. They can be fished with a variety of different bodies, including tubes, grubs and worms. They have no built-in action, so it's left to the fisherman to add it when retrieving. Jigging refers to a stop-and-go action achieved by lifting and then lowering the rod tip on the retrieve.
There is a large selection of plastic lures, and they come in all sizes and shapes, including frogs, crayfish, salamanders, worms and other fish. They are intended to resemble every imaginable food source for fish and have a lifelike feel.
