Fishing lures are made in a variety of ways, but the most common is by casting them out into the water and waiting for the fish to bite.
Some lures are made with a hook and line and are thrown out as far as possible while still being able to hang onto the line, while others are made with a weight and sink quickly to the bottom, allowing the fisherman to reel them in slowly.
Some of the most popular fishing lures include spinnerbaits, jigs, and worms. Spinnerbaits are popular because they create a lot of motion and often look like food to fish.
