If you’re new to fishing, start with lures that are easy to use and get results. Lunkerhunt’s hollow body topwater baits, like our Lunker Frogs or Phantom Spiders, are perfect for beginners. They stay on the surface, so you can see every bit of the action. Sometimes, less is more: just cast it out, let it sit for a few seconds, and wait for the ripples to disappear before you even twitch the rod. Trust us, when a fish hits, you’ll know.
Pre-rigged soft plastics are another solid choice. Any Lunkerhunt bait that comes ready-to-fish with a hook already in place is a great option for casting around docks, weeds, and shallow structure. They’ve got lifelike movement built in, so all you need to do is cast and retrieve. Focus on areas where fish like to hide; under docks, overhanging trees, lily pads, or deeper weed beds, especially on bright sunny days. With the right approach, you’ll be landing fish in no time.
