Essential Beginner Fishing Lures To Catch More Fish

It's easy to spend hundreds of dollars on a tackle box of pretty lures, but you really don't need all that. The best way to become a better angler is to focus on a small number of lures and get really good at using those. With time, you will want to move up to more lures and more colors, but they are not essential for beginners to start catching a lot of fish and having a lot of fun. This video discusses my top 5 beginner fishing baits and how/when to use them.

You are doing a great job breaking these things down in a way that's both digestible and actionable. Thanks again for another great video!

[@FishingwithNat]

Great. Thanks for the comment!

[@NobleKorhedron]

​@@FishingwithNat I would say get two copies each of 5 - 6 different lures; there's always a chance you can lose a bait on a snag...

[@FishingwithNat]

@@NobleKorhedron Very true. It stinks when you lose a hot bait and don't have a similar replacement to tie on.

Really appreciate your channel. Keeping it simple with practical and useful teachings while feeling more gender inclusive than most other KZbin fishing channels. Thanks for the content!

[@FishingwithNat]

Thank you. Fishing is for everyone! My daughter caught some giants at age 6 that were bigger than most adults have ever caught.

Decent recommendations that will work great for a multi-species angler. First few years of kayak fishing I used mostly round head jigs with a grub or twister tail. Eventually I started throwing spinnerbaits and some other lures more. I definitely think it’s good to spend time with a few lures and gain some confidence in them.

[@FishingwithNat]

Absolutely. Thanks for the feedback.

[@bottoms_up2175]

Rapala shad rap shallow running is my favorite, I just love fishing it around vegetation and over underwater rock piles where fast moving water meets slow moving water. Absolute walleye and asp magnet, almost all colors work (would recommend the ones that match local baitfish) but by far most useful for me was chartreuse one. Then I snagged it and broke it off.

[@FishingwithNat]

Good stuff. Sorry to hear that you lost it though!

[@junietwoknees]

I've been getting into fishing and building a box, mine looks a lot like this tutorial does. First luck was corn under a bobber for a bluegill, then i started bobbing one of those pink/white mini-mite jigs in a small pond and depending on the day you can hook a perch or a chub every other cast.

[@FishingwithNat]

Corn under a bobber is a reliable way to catch bluegills. Or a tiny piece of Gulp plastic wax worm on a hook instead of the corn. It will last through multiple fish before you have to rebait. Mini-mites are great for perch and chubs like you said and crappies too.

[@sylore772]

Thanks for always posting straight forward and easily understood information. Currently rediscovering fishing and your tips have definitely made me for more comfortable when I get out there. Do you have tips for a person stuck on the bank?

[@jake9705]

Got a video idea for you -- "Beginner Tips: Avoiding Poorly Designed Lures" I dropped $70 on just five Luhr-Jensen Kwikfish lures because a professional California salmon-fishing guide swore by them in a MeatEaters episode. He dropped the lures behind his boat and trolled them upstream, got bit by Chinooks quite a lot. I bought the same lures and used them to shore fish in Alaska... turns out the lures are garbage when casted. Each and every one of my six Kwikfish lures tangled frequently in the air because the dual treble hooks are engineered too close together and/or are too large. For nearly $15 apiece you'd think Luhr-Jensen could have solved that problem for me ahead of time (never did get a salmon on them, by the way, even after fixing the tangling hooks issue). Now I always check if a lure's treble hooks can self-tangle before buying it. You simply hold the lure and try to tangle the trebles by hand. If the trebles overlap at all, consider a different lure. Also I've given up on Bluefox Vibrax in-line spinning lures. The wire running down its center, acting like a spine, seems to get bent a lot in my well-organized tacklebox no matter how much I baby them. They also never seem to fit in my tackle box's slots properly, as if the lures are always just a bit too big. Going to explore the Mepps lures you've suggested.

[@FishingwithNat]

I've run across those problems too. Sounds like the Kwikfish was designed well as a trolling bait (as long as it doesn't tangle on the initial cast) but not so much as a casting bait. Good idea to look at the treble hook spacing on a lure at the store. I know some people swap out new trebles on brand new baits, but they should come with appropriate trebles right out of the box in my opinion.

[@CertifiedStepper]

Not gonna lie i was happy to get a baitcaster and honestly ive only caught one baby catfish they just dont seen to want to bite as with my spinning rod i put shrimp and constantly get bites 😢

[@FishingwithNat]

There's nothing wrong with spinning rods over baitcasters. I have both but prefer my spinning gear too.

[@AdriianLavin]

Hey man, i’ve Been fishing for about 1-2 years now and im good but i suck at Throwing spinners, i like more heavy baits thats small but still has a little weight, you know what i mean?

[@FishingwithNat]

The secret to throwing spinners is to use line that's not too heavy, and it often works best to start retrieving them the instant they hit the water.

[@NobleKorhedron]

Try using them on a lighter rod; my usual rods range from 3g to 20g casting weight, and on the heavier end I'm throwing large soft lures, bulky plugs, and/or medium spoons. For spinnerbaits, spinners, and spoons, always retrieve immediately, or shortly after, they hit water. If you insist on not retrieving immediately, a good guideline is to count to quickly count to three - like you're referring a wrestling match - and then start the retrieve.

[@BG.........]

Im just getting into fishing. Im starting basic.. like really basic. Ive got an ugly stick rod with some light line and basic lures. One question i have is, do you add a weight to these lures? Or is thebweight of the lure enough?

[@FishingwithNat]

No problem - everybody started with the basics. The weight of the lure is all you need, except in rare cases. I think you would learn a ton by checking out some of the videos in this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLcXAWxBLRzoLwZtDQEhuaHby0yQM_wHhU

[@supernovaskaters706]

roostertails always seem to work when theyre not biting

[@FishingwithNat]

It's hard to go wrong with a Rooster Tail. It's one of my favorite baits.

[@i1bike]

no slow pitch jiggs, inchiku or kabura ? - i am dissapointed

[@FishingwithNat]

There are other good beginner baits but I chose these based on ease of use, versatility with many fish species, low cost, and availability.

[@i1bike]

@@FishingwithNat It was a joke, these are all deep sea techniques haha, i doubt any of it would work in a pond, river or a lake xd

[@malekdahmani4445]

Whats the best one im bigginer

[@FishingwithNat]

All of those shown in the video are great for beginners and can be used to catch a wide variety of species in a wide variety of situations. It's hard to pick just one because the best one really depends on the situation you're fishing.
