Background:
Fishing lures typically resemble the prey of game fish. The lure's action, motions, and color simulate those of a live bait that the fish would normally feed on or eat. Anglers cast the lures and reel them in in order to simulate a live bait. Fishing lures were first made commercially in the United States in the early 1900s by Heddon and Pflueger located in Michigan. Earlier lures were handmade by fishermen or craftsmen.

Equipment:
Types of fishing lures.:

Jig: A lead head on the shank of a hook with feathers or plastic baits to simulate a minnow, crawfish, worm or snake.
Top water lures. They float and resemble prey that is on top of the water. They can make a popping sound from a concave-cut head, a burbling sound from "side fins" or scoops or a buzzing commotion from one or several propellers. A few have only whatever motion the fisherman applies through the rod itself, though if skillfully used, they can be very effective.
Spoon lures are made to resemble the inside of a table spoon. They flash in the light while wobbling or darting due to their shape, and attract fish.
Plugs are also known as crankbaits. These lures have a fishlike body shape and they are run through the water where they can make a variety of different movements caused by instability due to the scoop under the head.
Artificial flies are designed to resemble all manner of fish prey and are used with a fly rod and reel in fly fishing.
Soft plastic baits are made of plastic or rubber, and are designed to resemble worms, lizards, frogs, leeches and other creatures.
Spinnerbait are pieces of wire bent at about a 60 degree angle with a hook on the lower end and a flashy spinner mechanism on the upper end.
Swimbait is a minnow- like soft plastic bait that is reeled like a plug. Some of these have a swimming tail.
These fishing lures can be made of wood, plastic, rubber, metal, cork, and materials like feathers, animal hair, string, tinsel and others. They can have many moving parts or no moving parts. They can be retrieved fast or slow. Some of the lures can be used by alone, or with another lure.
