Two Techniques for Using Topwater Fishing Lures

A Couple Soft and Hard Topwater Fishing Lure Techniques.

This is a fishing tip article on how to use some basic top water fishing lures. This article may be pretty basic for your more advanced fishermen but they may learn something as well.

We will first explain a technique for using basic rubber or plastic worms, then a couple techniques for using hard topwater baits.




Using rubber or plastic worms
First, using a rubber or plastic worm for topwater, when reeling in the rubber or plastic worms you will want to keep your rod tip down and use a slight jerking or twitching motion but, you also want to keep this twitching motion inconsistent to make it look as natural as you can as you reel in the plastic lure.

Using hard top water baits.
Second, using hard top water baits, an old technique that is commonly used is called walking the dog  in this technique, you simply cast out and as you reel in you simply move the rod and back and forth in an inconsistent  manner. When using this technique you want to make sure that your rod angle is  pointed downward. Another technique for using these types of lure is the stop, pause and reel this makes to the fish curious. Keep it natural, make sure you do not pause too long as you do not want the fish to get a good look at the bait.

These fishing techniques will take a little practice, trial and error but it won’t  be long and you’ll be using them like a pro.

In conclusion,
When using rubber worms as topwater bait keep your rod tip down and use a slight twitching motion as you reel in.
When using hard topwater baits,   try moving your rod and back-and-forth in an inconsistent manner as you reel in. Another technique for using topwater baits is the stop and pause technique.
Remember when using top water baits keep it natural and inconsistent and don’t let the fish have a chance to see your bait.

Good luck and Good Fishing
