Many anglers ask: how do you select a lure by size and color for different fishing conditions? The number of strikes and overall catch depends directly on this. In this article, we will go over the main principles of selecting lure size and color, taking into account the fish species, water depth, water clarity, and season.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"492\">Why Lure Size Matters<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"494\" data-end=\"636\">Lure size affects the predator\u2019s reaction.
