What are some major differences between saltwater and freshwater lures?
I’m doing a research paper for school on this question above. Any answer is appreciated because I cannot find ANYTHING.
The only thing I’ve noticed is freshwater spoons seem to have more colors and saltwater spoons seem to only come in gold and silver.
Thanks in advance.
Its for English class..
Im doing a project where im designing and making my own fishing lures.
Thanks guys so much, you’ve been a big help 
The most important feature is hooks and the terminal tackle attaching the hooks, (split rings, “through-wire” construction, Etc). The hooks (and terminal tackle) on saltwater lures are usually Stainless steel or galvanized metal of some sort, (so they won’t rust & are stronger).
Plus, a typical saltwater lure is larger than a freshwater lure, (the forage/baitfish a Mahi or Sailfish eats is larger than anything a Bluegill eats).
The “finish” of a saltwater lure is generally more durable, (mainly because many saltwater fish are “toothy” critters.)
Expect a saltwater lure to have (at least) 1-2 extra coats of clear gel finish than any freshwater lure.
Color is not as much an issue as you would suspect. Some saltwater lures translate well into freshwater fishing, (example:Saltwater Rapala Husky Jerk Minnow) and MANY freshwater lures could be used in Saltwater, (as long as you change the hooks to a more durable hook.) Obviously ,if you use a freshwater plug in saltwater on (say) Barracuda it won’t last long!
What class asked you to do a paper on the difference in lures? (I wish I had that class when I went to school! lol)
