Luring Sebarau (Hampala Barb)

 

Dedicated sebarau anglers are very particular about the lures they choose to use because sebarau themselves can be very fussy about the lures they choose to eat! So how do sebarau anglers know what lures they should lug to their fishing grounds, as there are so many types of lures on the market these days.

To make it more complex, there are so many types of lures out there that can catch sebarau, but not necessarily consistently. I think it can be safe to say that “all” lures in the market can catch sebarau at some time or another. It is a fact that if you throw a lure or a bait at a fish often enough, there will be a day it may take the “bait” or in this case the lure. I have seen many, many different varieties of lures catch sebarau, but I have also noticed that some types of lures catch the sebarau more regularly than others. Then among those there are some that really shine in most conditions, and there are others that work particularly better and more often in certain localities and conditions.

This is probably what makes sebarau fishing fascinating, knowing the lure to use to achieve good results. However to throw a spanner into the works, what works one day may not work another day in exactly the same spot. Knowing why this happens helps if the sebarau is understood: their forage, habitat and even their temperament.
