rge fish. Reels will come in three different sorts: casting, open-face or spinning, and a closed-face. The open-face and or closed-face are the most suitable for the beginners. When choosing a reel one should remember that if you are left-handed you should buy a right-handed wind reel and vice versa (Jarman, 42).Today the artificial lure is the bait that is used worldwide; ranging from as small as 1/8 inch long and 1/90 of an ounce in weight, or as large as 14 inches and weighing up to 4 ounces. In the world of lures, there are thousands placed into three different groups-spinners, spoons, and plugs. Spinners are torpedo-shaped lures that come in a multitude of colors, that spin as they are pulled through the water. Spoons are just that, handleless metal spoons that wobble as they dart through the water imitating the movement of small fish. Plugs are imitation plastic fish that vary in size and shape. When choosing a plug one needs to keep in mind that the one with the most color and glamour may not be the one that attaches and catches the fish (Jarman, 48). Fishing with plugs is the most fun from my experiences, because watching the lure “swim” in the water is just so cool. Now another type of bait is the live bait; it uses the common hook along with worms, minnows, and or maggots. These may be stored in the refrigerator for long periods if needed. Sometimes these small critters are dyed to make them look more interesting to the fish; this dates as far back as the 1490’s. Other popular hook baits are bread and cereals such as stewed wheat, barley, and hemp. Last the largest group of baits are the flies used to fly fish; they are divided up into four basic types: the dry fly, the wet fly, the nymph, and the lure, which is not used very often in fly fishing. The dry fly is designed to imitate insects on top of the water, and the wet fly sinks below the surface and imitates newly hatched insects. The nymp...
