What lure should I tie on?
The three things that decide a lure are the fish you want, how clear the water is and the light in the sky. Set those and get a concrete starting lure - type, colour and retrieve - and the reason behind it. It pairs with Tackle by Species for the rod and line.
A starting point, not a rule. Fish don't read charts - match the hatch, watch what's working on your water, and change up if the bite is slow. When chasing pike or other toothy fish, always run a bite leader.
