7 Senior Lure Tricks To Outfish Younger Anglers

📘 The Complete Tangle-Free Collection — three big-print books for older hands, including The Ready-Rig Secret (only in the collection): https://billyfishing.netlify.app/?b=3... The young fellows at the end of the dock throw a long way past you and change lures while you are still hunting for your glasses. It isn't your age and it isn't your arm. The fish were never out where they throw. In this video Billy walks you through seven small lure tricks, slowly, for hands and eyes over 60. All seven work with the rod, the reel and the lures you already own, and most of them cost nothing. One honest word about the title: nobody can promise you more fish than the next angler. What these seven do is keep your lure in the water, close to where fish live, for more of the morning, instead of leaving you bent over a knot. WHAT YOU NEED TONIGHT Your tackle box, your best lamp and your reading glasses. A small hook file and a few plain wire snaps if you want to go further.

Wear a life jacket on boats and docks. Do your rigging sitting down, never leaning out over the edge. Handle hooks with care, swap hooks at home, and take every piece of cut line home. Practice casting on the lawn with a hookless weight and nobody behind you. Follow your local fishing rules and licenses; some waters require single or barbless hooks. If your hands hurt, go numb or shake, or your balance worries you, ask your own doctor what is safe for you. This video is general fishing information, not medical advice, and no lure trick promises a bite. Tell me in the comments, in one word: when you ran the thumbnail test on the first lure in your box, did the hook bite or skate? #fishing #fishingtips #seniorfishing
