Fake Baits
‘Fake baits’ is a term used to define an artificial, man-made fishing bait, differentiated from a lure by not requiring movement to catch fish. In LRF, fake-baits are typically defined as heavily flavoured, biodegradable, soft lures. The most common are those manufactured by Marukyu and Berkley Gulp. The most popular fake baits for fishing LRF style are; Marukyu Isome, Ecogear Aqua, Gulp Sandworms and Gulp Baby Sardine. Of which all are featured in the following articles.
Rock Goby on Jig Head
Must admit, quite enjoy catching gobies by Jighead method. Not easy, so rewarding once you get the action right. Lure here is the Ecogear Aqua Shirasu.
Tompot on Ecogear Aqua Straight
Nice Tompot Blenny caught on an Ecogear Aqua Katsu Aji Straight in A07 Natural Pearl Glow and 0.7g jig head.
Plaice on XL Isome
Nice day on the boat, with Chris and I both ticking off Plaice for the year. A kind of mutant split shot rig presented an XL Isome on the drift. More
LRF Clingfish
Very jealous. A uber-cool Clingfish for Chris during our Alderney species hunt. Need!
Bass on Isome Split Shot Rig
Doesn’t happen very often but just goes to show that Isome does catch everything. A small Bass on Isome, fished on the Split Shot Rig. More
Whiting on Gulp Sandworm
I love catching whiting on light tackle. This one came on Berkley Gulp Sandworm fished on a Caro rig. More
Decoy KR-26 Mini Worm Hook
My favourite Isome hook of last year. To give you some idea of how far behind we are, I purchased mine in Japan out of a bargain bin! Anyway, glad I can restock now.
