In saltwater salmon fishing, baits are often used to attract more fish. Examples of baits include minnows, worms, plastic or live worms, eggs or maggot larva. When choosing bait, it is better to opt for what is available in the shops. If you are quite new in the location you picked as a fishing spot, try talking to the people knowledgeable in the area and ask what the ideal bait for the fishes is and what the condition of the water.
The most popular lure in salmon fishing is the spoons. Of course it also applies in spoon lures that the brighter the color the more effective the lure will be. Patterned spoons can work well too.
