Tackle Feature: MirrOlure Surface Lures
In this issue, we have chosen to feature three surface MirrOlure
lures: the MirrOlure “floating twitch bait”, the “surface walker” and the
“surface popper.” These lures are
designed to create a lot of surface commotion.
This is achieved in a variety of ways all with the same aim: to attract predators! The basic concept behind surface lures is to mimic
bait fish under attack, scuttling across the surface of the water. The ruckus created by MirrOlure surface lures
is a sure-fire way to get the big ones striking and biting!
MirrOlures are infamous for their use of “mirror”
technology and patterns to produce flashy, highly-visible, durable artificial
baits. Couple that with a handful of
tricks and you’ve got a lure irresistible to hungry fish.
When casting these lures, be sure to use the “walking-the-dog”
retrieval technique. Make a long cast as
possible. Then retrieve the lure back to
you in a straight line while twitching your rod tip, making the lure dance
quickly from side-to-side. If you are
using the MirrOlure Top Dog Jr. or Popa Dog, each time you pop your rod tip,
you will hear a “fish-calling” click, coming from the low frequency sonic
rattle embedded in the lure’s echo chamber.
Though ideal for casting, these lures can also be used
when slow trolling at a speed of 4 knots.
MirrOlure also carries larger trolling lures which are better suited to
those recreational fishermen chasing after monsters!
MirrOlures are available at The Tackle Shop, Point
Cumana in a wide variety of colours and styles.
