Fishing lures are designed to mimic the movement and appearance of fish prey, making them an effective tool to attract predatory fish. At Camping Australia, we offer a wide variety of lures, including hard body, soft plastic, jigs, metal, spinnerbaits, and game lures, each designed to cater to specific areas, applications in fresh and salt water, and target species. Whether you're a novice angler or an experienced fisherman, gaining a substantial knowledge of fishing lures is essential in helping you locate suitable products for your specific application.

Fishing Showdown: Bait Fishing vs. Lure Fishing - Which Is Best for You?

Posted on January 21, 2023


The debate between bait fishing and lure fishing is a lively one, much like the ongoing arguments about the best BBQ recipes. Both methods have their own advantages and drawbacks, and the choice often comes down to personal preference. Bait fishing is generally easier for beginners and more cost-effective, making it ideal for family outings and those looking to catch a meal. It involves using live or dead natural baits and offers high success rates. Lure fishing, on the other hand, provides a more active and engaging experience, often preferred by those who enjoy the challenge of mimicking prey movements and practicing catch-and-release. The article delves into the specifics of natural baits used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing, detailing the types of baits, the equipment needed, and advanced techniques for success. It also explores the various types of lures available, including soft plastics, hard-bodied lures, and topwater options, along with effective retrieval techniques and gear recommendations. By understanding the nuances of each method, anglers can make informed decisions based on their fishing environment, target species, and personal preferences. Whether you’re using bait or lures, the key is to enjoy the process, respect the environment, and make lasting memories.
