Fluorescent squid lure, also known as a "rocket" lure for funek, is a specialized fishing tackle designed for bottom fishing applications, particularly for capturing squid and similar cephalopods. The fluorescent properties of this lure enhance its visibility in deeper, less illuminated waters, increasing its attractiveness to prey. Its design, often resembling a small projectile or "rocket," allows for effective casting and stable descent to the seabed, where target species typically reside.
This type of lure is constructed from durable materials to withstand the rigors of bottom fishing. Its specific weighting and shape ensure it reaches and stays in the strike zone. The fluorescent coating is crucial, especially during early morning, late evening, or in murky conditions, acting as a strong visual attractant. This makes it a valuable tool for anglers targeting squid and other bottom-dwelling marine life.
- Increased visibility in low-light conditions due to fluorescent coating.
- Designed for efficient casting and stable positioning on the seabed.
- Durable construction suitable for bottom fishing environments.
- Effective for attracting squid and other bottom-dwelling marine species.
- The "rocket" shape aids in hydrodynamic performance during descent and retrieval.
For optimal results, it is recommended to vary retrieval speeds and experiment with short, sharp pulls to mimic injured prey. Combining this lure with natural bait or scent enhancers can further boost its effectiveness. Consider fishing during periods of slack tide, as this often leads to increased activity from squid foraging on the seabed.
