The Internet is an excellent teaching tool, particularly for anglers who want to catch more fish but don't know how to effectively use their lures. Rapala is among lure builders whose websites offer video tutorials showing the correct way to fish their baits. The Skitter Pop, for instance, is an excellent midsummer bass lure that can trigger vicious strikes. But there are right ways and wrong ways to retrieve the bait. To learn how to fish it, go to Rapala's website at rapala.com. Other manufacturers have similar tutorials.
