Angler's Alphabet
of Lures-
From A-Rig to Zara Spook
by Marilyn Black
A
rtificial baits marketed to anglers span the alphabet.
You'll likely recognize classics as well as recent
arrivals.
A-Rig
An offspring of saltwater's umbrella rig, a freshwater A-Rig
with multiple flexible wire arms and a jighead with a soft
plastic grub or swimbait body creates a baitfish school illusion
enticing Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass, and
White Bass.
Beetle Spin
For 50 years, this 1/32-ounce to ¼-ounce safety pin lure
with an overhead spinning blade above a grub body produces
results in ponds, streams, and larger waterways for all
freshwater species.
Circle Hook
Adapted from saltwater use, this good catch-and-release hook
for live bait attaches to the corner of a fish's mouth rather than
deep into its mouth.
Dying Flutter
Topwater by James Heddon, it rests in a vertical position
and has a unique fish-arousing sound and spray when its
streamlined body with fore and aft propellers is chugged. It
is now found on eBay and in tackle boxes of old-timers who
treasure its unique action.
Erie Dearie
Introduced in 1960 by charter boat captain Dan Galbincea,
this is a weight-forward spinner for count-down casting
while drifting for Walleyes on Lake Erie. It is comprised of a
½- to 1-ounce weight, spinner, beads, and single hook with
a nightcrawler.
Flipping Jig
Bass anglers in the 1970s became enthralled with this
long-rod, short-line technique. A heavy jig with stiff weed
guard is swung to visible cover and open weed pockets.
Grub
This 2- to 4-inch molded plastic thick-bodied bait may
feature a curly, beaver-tail, or shad-like action tail. Fished on a
leadhead, it is effective for all fish species.
Hawaiian Wiggler
Fred Arbogast introduced this weedless lure around 1940.
This inline weighted head with one or two propeller blades
and rubber hula skirt is out of production. It was my father-inlaw's
favorite Tamarack Lake, Crawford County, bass lure.
Ice Dot
An Ice Dot is a tiny, soldered metal lure featuring a large
contrasting painted eye. It is a versatile ice fishing lure worked
in subtle vertical jumps or suspended below a small bobber.
