The equipment
One good thing about this species is that it doesn't require any special equipment. A type H or XH spinning rod and a good size 4000 reel are more than enough to fight most beautiful fish. A 30 lb braid and a steel leader complete the package, giving you every chance of ending a fight without breaking. Where you need to make the right choice and opt for sturdiness is mainly with hooks and split rings. You need very strong models, as barracudas have powerful jaws capable of breaking hooks with a single blow.
Decoys
The speed of the retrieve is what triggers the bites. For those who have already had experience of asp fishing in France, we're talking about something similar, if not even faster! Stick baits or jerk minnows designed for this type of action should be used, in sizes of around 15 to 18 cm, to be reeled in at full speed. Soft lures are not recommended, as they are cut off at the slightest touch. If a fish starts to follow without attacking, this means that the retrieve speed is not fast enough.
As far as colors are concerned, since we're in very clear waters, natural and white are the best choices.
A very popular local lure is the cuda tube rig, which is simply a plastic tube with 2 hooks attached.
This lure must be retrieved at full speed so that it ricochets off the surface of the water. This gives you an idea of the retrieve speed you need to use, which is valid no matter what lures you use. The speed of this fish is impressive, and it's amazing how easily it follows the lure. This retrieve speed prevents him from analysing the lure and forces him to attack.
