How Do You Put a Lure on a Fishing Pole?

Fishing is an enjoyable pastime for many people and it can be a great way to relax and practice patience. Knowing how to put a lure on a fishing pole is an essential part of the sport.

It may seem intimidating at first, but with the proper knowledge and supplies, you can be sure to have your lure set up correctly in no time.

To begin, make sure to have the right type of bait for your desired fish species. Different types of lures are made to attract different types of fish.

Once you’ve chosen your bait, it’s time to attach it to your line. If you’re using a spinning rod and reel set up, start by spinning the reel so that the bail is open. Then take your lure and place it on the exposed line near the end of the rod.

Next, tie a knot at the end of your line that will secure your lure in place. There are several types of knots available for this purpose; however, one of the most popular knots for this purpose is known as an improved clinch knot. To tie this knot, hold your line in one hand and make five turns around itself with loops alternating between clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

After making five turns around itself, insert the end of the line through loop closest to where you began tying the knot. Then moisten either with saliva or water before pulling tight so that all loops fit snugly together. Finally, trim any extra material from the end of your line.

Conclusion:
