A damaged lure is a useless lure.

Fishing in Los Suenos is the dream of many anglers. That dream becomes a nightmare, however, when tackle boxes offer nothing but broken lures. Poppers, plugs and spinnerbaits are essential in this Costa Rica town, attracting Yellowfins and Crevalles with ease. Their colors and feathers prove perfect for even the deepest waters.

Lures with cracks or tears, however, will serve no purpose - except to frustrate anglers.

It’s important, therefore, to inspect all lures before every sport fishing trip. Note their conditions; replace any faulty ones; and always purchase spares (whether before arriving in Los Suenos or from one of the marina’s many tackle shops).

Be certain to also bring epoxy glue on every charter trip. This can be used to temporarily repair lures, filling in any cracks or crevices until replacements can be found. Always have access to it while at sea.

Keep every lure in top-shelf condition. Monitor them all throughout the fishing season.
