You've found the perfect lure to catch Spanish mackerel. Here are some options. These include a Topwater frog bait, Topwater frog lure and wire lure. The lures you choose should be able to withstand the razor-sharp teeth that Spanish mackerel possess.
Paddle tails in light and dark colors
Whether you are fishing inshore or offshore, paddle tail shads are an excellent bait for catching Spanish mackerel. When used with a 1/4-ounce or 1/2-ounce jig head, these baits can be deadly for snagging these aggressive fighters. You need to be able to correctly land these baits. Spanish mackerel fishermen should use the rule of "thump" as a guide. The fish will be closer to the line the deeper it is. The further back they are, the shallower the line.
Topwater Frog Lures
There are many topwater frog baits for Spanish mackerel. But the best one is the hulapopper. Hard body popper lures were originally designed for fly fishermen. They became popular in bass fishing after World War II. A natural color is best when choosing a frog-popper. Although most topwater frogs prefer green, you may find a popper that is a different color. The color is less important to topwater frogs than the motion, and a loud noise will attract bass to strike.
Wire lure
Casting a wire lure into a bait fish is one way to catch Spanish mackerel. The fish can quickly hook anglers if they are not careful with their casting. To avoid snagging uninformed fish, be sure to take the hook off after a few seconds. You should also use a smaller hook for larger fish.
Bass Assassin Sea Shad bait
You might consider the Bass Assassin Sea Shad Bait if you are trying to catch Spanish Mackerel. Its design allows it only to sink a few inches before being retrieved. While this bait is effective for fishing offshore, it is also an excellent choice for casting on the flats and piers. This bait's tail vibrates in the water column as it falls, mimicking the dying state of a fish. It is easy to recognize a strike and makes it great for beginners.
Spoons
When choosing spoons for Spanish mackerel, size should be a critical consideration. There are several key differences between spoons that will work well. Spanish mackerel spoons should be large and heavy with a broad body that can easily be ripped at high speeds. The spoons should measure between 2 and 3 inches in length. It should also be of a matte finish, which is most effective in bright sunshine and on cloudy days.

Why use a spinning arrow?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. If you don't want your casts to take too long, a spinning rod is a good choice. The spinning rod allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. The main components of the rod are the handle, reel seat, and butt section. The handle is the part that holds the rod in your hand and grips the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many rod options available today. Some rods are only suitable for specific types of fishing such as trolling or casting. Others can be used in a variety ways, such as fly fishing and spin fishing.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. You would need a heavy-duty rod if your goal is to catch large predatory fish like pike and bass. If you are fishing for smaller species, such a trout or salmon, a lighter weight rod may work better. You could even purchase multiple rod sizes depending upon how big you plan to catch the fish.
Spinning Rods aren't limited to freshwater fisherman. They can also be used for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them to cast further distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. You will need to purchase one on its own. They can also be very expensive. A spinning rod is an option if you like to catch bigger fish.
Spin fishing refers to angling where a spin fisherman uses a spinning reel to cast a weighted bait into the water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. This causes the lure to move erratically in the water, making it difficult for fish to detect the lure. Fish may also mistake the lure for food and begin feeding on it. It will then attract more fish to the lure. The lure will then attract more fish to the angler's reel. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
