Whether it's the rod or the lures, the equipment for bullseye snakeead fishing is similar to that for black-bass fishing. Let's take a look at a selection of 4 must-have lures for a successful trip.

1) The frog

If there's only one lure you need for bullseye snakehead fishing, it's the frog! You can't go wrong with this lure, and the chances of success are very good. Choose the ordinary models, with a hollow body and silicone threads on the back.

A trick to improve the quality of the strike is to spread each prong of the lure's double hook slightly outwards, away from the lure. This ensures good tip clearance and thus increases the chances of successful striking. This trick may reduce the lure's ease of passage through vegetation, but it really does increase the chances of a successful strike.

2) The chatterbait

The chatterbait, and the vibrations it creates, is an interesting lure for fishing bullseye snakehead. As a trailer, you can use a creature or a shad.

3) Propeller lures

In third place are propeller lures. I've deliberately grouped several lures in this same family, because to put it simply, a lure that churns on the surface is typically a lure that makes the bullseye snakehead react. Among these lures are propbaits and their derivatives, buzzbaits and, by extension, spinnerbaits, which also prove to be good lures for this species.

4) Soft lures

Finally, an interesting category is that of soft lures, rigged with an unplumbed Texas hook. They allow you to explore dense weedbeds without fear. As a lure, you can use a creature, a frog or even a shad with a big paddle, because once again, the important thing to remember is that the lure absolutely must not go unnoticed on the surface, and quite the opposite, make vibrations and leave a wake behind it!

Things to remember : the most effective lures are surface lures, which create vibrations, not noise like a surface stick with its internal beads, but vibrations, like splashing on the surface. All this, in a continuous linear motion, with no real animation apart from a shake of the tip to give the lure a little more life.
