Why I Picked Them:
Surface and subsurface lures are must-haves for fishalots targeting aggressive, predatory fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Surface lures, like poppers and walking baits, create a thrilling topwater action, drawing explosive strikes from fish as they mimic injured prey. Subsurface lures, such as jerkbaits and shallow-diving crankbaits, operate just below the surface, imitating baitfish with realistic swimming motions. Together, these lures are ideal for covering different water columns and triggering reactions from active fish feeding near the surface and do require some practice and patience to master. Surface and subsurface lures stand out for their versatility and ability to create exciting fishing moments. Unlike deep-diving lures or bottom jigs, these are perfect for targeting fish in shallow zones or during times of active feeding. For anglers looking to expand their lure selection, these are essential tools for success.
