Rockfishing can be a thrilling and challenging activity, and choosing the right lure can make a big difference in your success. Here are some of the best lures for rockfishing
Soft plastics: Soft plastics mimic the appearance and movement of natural bait, making them an excellent choice for rockfishing. Best rigged up on a jig head, and worked along the bottom or through the water column.
Octopus jigs: octopus jigs are effective for catching rockfish in deeper water. They have a great finish with skirt that mimics a live octopus and it can be worked in a jigging motion or retrieved at a slow pace
It’s important to note that different lures may work better depending on the location, time of day, and the specific species of rockfish you’re targeting. Experimenting with different lures and techniques is often the best way to determine what works best in your local area.
