Getting Fish To Strike.
Different fish will take your lure based on a variety of reasons.
These are color, action, smell, shape, sound and taste. Other conditions
to consider are lighting, water clarity, temperature, time of year and
so on. Your lure should mimic the natural food selection in movement,
color and appearance. Taste and smell are a little more difficult if
using artificial lures. Sound is important as it "gets their attention".
There are endless varieties of lures on the market all of which
are designed to accomplish the above. Selection of the proper lure at
the proper time is a matter of experience learned by trial and error.
Different lures work at different times of the year and under different
conditions. If you fish the same lakes or rivers after awhile you get a
good idea of what works according to the conditions.
If you
select the right lure then the next problem is presentation. Retrieval
speed, depth of retrieve and so on. Now all this starts sounding pretty
daunting. Sounds like you might need a Ph.D. in Fishology to catch a
fish. Some outings I begin to think there aren't any fish and wish I had
a snorkel to just have a look and see. Just keep at it, they will start
biting when you get it right, although at certain times of the year a
lot more than others. And this time of year is great for many species.
Remember, practice really does make perfect in this as in all sports.

Glow in the Dark Lures Review
Review of Michigan Stinger's New Glow in the Dark Lures
by Daniel Clark
As a photoluminescent chemist, I didn't realize the level of bio engineering that goes into designing fishing tackle. To say the least, I was surprised when I received a phone call from the engineer at Michigan Stinger requesting technical data. That call took place over two years ago. Since then, the Stinger engineers have performed over a hundred laboratory and real-life tests to design an efficient high end lure. As I write this review, their 2004 line of glow lures are being distributed to tackle shops around the world.
Fish think about food like a hungry teenager. If they see something that looks appetizing, they throw it in their mouth as fast as they can. Therefore, the biggest requirement of a great lure is that it can be seen from a distance. But the hard part is to design a lure that looks more appetizing than the local feeder fish. Any mom that has to prepare healthy meals to compete with junk food will fully understand the complexity.

Excerpt from the Antique Martin Fishing Lures Website
The following information is taken from Carl F. Luckey's book
Old Fishing Lures & Tackle, 5th Edition:
The following brief
history of the Martin Lizzard was provided by Jack H. Martin, Jr.:
The "Martin Lizzard" was perfected in 1946 by my father, Jack H.
Martin, Sr., in Drumright, Oklahoma. Patents were applied for in the
United States and Canada. The U.S. denied the full patent, but offered a
patent pending classification, while Canada gave him a full patent. The
body of the plug was of cedar and was turned on a wood lathe by hand.
All paint was applied by air-brush guns. My mother placed the hooks,
eyes, and tail spinner (flasher) on the plugs and placed them in
individual paper boxes for shipping. The paper box was replaced by
plastic in 1955 when we moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma. At that time the
wooden bodies were also replaced by plastic.
Good Luck Fishing !
