A simple addiction?
Do you fish with lures? How many lures do you have? 10, 20, 100 or 200? Should you also count soft lures or just hard lures? Let's bet on a triple-digit number, or even higher for some... Possessing a variety of lures gives the angler a feeling of confidence. Indeed, owning an impressive number of lures opens up a wide range of possibilities, but did you use all your lures during your various fishing sessions this year?
It is therefore important to realize that the multiplication of lures, and therefore the multiplication of filled lure boxes, can be a simple addiction bordering on consumerism. It's true that all lure manufacturers are constantly coming up with new lures, each more realistic, more beautiful and, above all, more effective than the last.
Having plenty of decoys is a necessity
There are many different types of hard lures: popper, cranckbait, swimbait, jig... And the same goes for the large family of soft lures: shad, comma, creature, frog or frog... A good reason to own at least a few lures from each family, so you can practice different techniques. Almost every lure is available in different colors and weights. So it's a good idea to have lures of different sizes and colors, to adapt to different fishing conditions.
Owning and using several lures in a single session allows you to step out of your comfort zone and explore a multitude of possibilities that will considerably increase your chances of catching fish.
What if just a few lures were enough?
Some anglers only carry a small box of lures, made up of their few favorite lures. Lures they trust... But above all, lures that they have mastered and which bring them results. There's no point in trying out new lures that might prove less effective.
The number of lures you need for a successful fishing session is hard to define, and indeed, how many lures do you need to fill a box? So we need to look at box size too...
