Sea fishing lures

Sea fishing lures are built to work in deeper water where current and drift affect the fishing. They are often heavier and more compact than inland lures, which means they sink quickly and stay level in the water.

Many lures mimic natural food such as herring and sandeel, and are used both when actively fishing and when the lure is driven from the boat. Weight plays a big role - heavier lures are needed to reach the bottom and maintain contact when there is a current or when fishing at greater depths.

The choice is about matching the lure to depth, drift and equipment. The right weight and size will give you better control of the lure and a clearer feel throughout the fishing.
