They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. Because they are easy to cast, many people prefer lures. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.

Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling involves moving a lure through the water using a boat.
