BIG HINT: If you don’t have at least few custom lures in your tackle box, you’re almost certainly missing a BIG slice of

the action. A HUGE slice, in fact – and I’m about to tell you why that’s the case and how you can rectify the problem


But first, a little about myself and how I came to figure out this secret key to consistently great lure fishing!

I’ve been a lure fisherman since I was 6 years old, a lure maker for over 30 years and a professional aquatic scientist

for more than 20 years. I’ve lived and breathed lure making and lure fishing for my entire life. I’ve studied fish

behaviour and the aquatic environment at the highest level and I’ve perfected hundreds of wooden lures and caught

literally thousands of fish on my own custom designs. In fact, all of the lures you’ll see on this page have been

Dr Greg Vinall, aka "Dr Lures", with a good friend. With a doctorate in aquatic ecology, almost 40 years of lure fishing experience and over 30 years of making wooden lures, Greg can only be described as a lure fishing fanatic!

I don’t mean that they suddenly understand nulear physics (who does?). But like all animals, fish learn from

experience. Trust me – the line about goldfish forgetting what’s at the other side of the bowl is just to make goldfish

The "one that got away" has been educated. He’s learned that inhaling a foreign object that comes swimming past has

some unpleasant consequences. Next time he’ll be much more cautious about all unusual objects, and will almost

certainly reject that particular lure or anything that looks, sounds and feels a lot like it. Of course, some species have

stronger instinct than others and some have better memories, just like humans, but they all learn by experience!

And while catch and release is a wonderful principle that I fully support and practice, it does mean that our fish stocks

· The biggest ones, because they have been around longer are are much more likely to have received an

· The ones that have seen the most lures. In other words, the ones at popular fishing and holiday destinations,

tournament circuits, catch and release only fisheries, lure only fisheries and anywhere near to a major

If you are chasing big fish,especially in hard-fished waters then this is really very important to know, because you’ll

Fortunately, once you fully appreciate this reality there are some easy ways to start improving your fishing almost

"Research indicates that the largemouth bass is also the most intelligent freshwater fish, able to

distinguish and avoid a particular type of lure after only one encounter with it. In fact, some bass lakes

believed to be fished out contain plenty of bass but the fish have learned to recognize virtually all the lures

in common use on the lake. In such cases, a lure that is new to them will often work where others have

Humans are visual. We naturally rely on our eyesight more than our other senses. For example, we look for things

with our eyes rather than feel, listen or smell for them. If we hear a noise our natural response is to use our eyes to

find out what caused it, rather than just keep listening, or start sniffing the air. We rely on our eyesight.

So naturally we assume that fish are also visual ….. which is sometimes true. But for many fish species (especially in

freshwater), vision isn’t all that important. Fish often live in a world of darkness, murkiness and shadow, so they’re

adapted to use other senses to find food and avoid predators. In fact, many of them prefer to hunt under cover of

Years ago I would fish for brown trout in the muddy, swollen flood waters of my local stream. My best catches came

using a small black lure on the darkest of nights, often during heavy rain in the fast water below a particular bridge.

Those fish had everything against them: turbulence, noise, muddy water, darkness. Yet I consistently caught seriously

Lipless baits create strong vibrations. You can find out how to make and weight them on pages 10 and 46. A template and instructions for the Jackstar are in the projects eBook

Fish recognise the signature vibration of the common mass produced lures, so if they had a bad experience the last

time they felt that vibration they’ll be more cautious next time around! The first time they felt that vibration it was a

Fish are attracted to lures that have a similar vibratation to food items and are repelled by vibrations they associate

with a past bad experience. This is a major reason why custom lures leave mass produced ones in the dust. Hand-

made wooden lures not only have a different vibration to mass produced plastic ones, it’s also a much more natural

If you thought that the underwater world was a quiet place you’d be seriously mistaken. Sound travels 5 times faster

in water than it does in air, and hearing plays a major role in how fish home in on lures and baitfish. Choosing a lure

As well as helping fish sense vibration and water flow, the lateral line assists a little with hearing. But the main way

that fish hear sound is through their ears. Yes, fish have ears! They’re not visible because they’re internal and they

work very differently to human ears, which are almost useless under water – especially when it comes to figuring out

Fish hear magnificently well and can determine the direction of the source very efficiently. Scientists have shown

that fish can hear the sounds of other fish feeding, may use underwater sounds for navigation and in some cases can

communicate with clicking, grunting or thumping sounds made using their swim bladder. They hear a lot of sounds

So it makes a lot of sense that lures that make a lot of noise extra noise to raise…
