I can hear it now; all the fishes swimming around in schools singing, “MMMM MMMM good, MMMM MMMM good, that’s what LIVETARGET Lures are, MMMM MMMM good.”  Apparently, fish have developed a taste for LIVETARGET Lures made by Kopper Fishing and Tackle Corporation.  It’s easy to see why fish love them.  Every LIVERTARGET Lure is made anatomical and life-like in shape.

LIVETARGET Lures (www.livetargetlures.com) began lure production in the fall of 2007.  “When I started this company, I wanted a product that did not exist before in fishing lures,” said Grant Koppers, founder, inventor and head of R&D for Kopper Fishing and Tackle Corporation, “I wanted a more realistic product, design for North America hatches to mimic forage.”   Do not take Koppers just for someone who design lures without any time on the water experience.  Koppers is a professional fishing guide from the Niagara River Region of U.S.A. and Canada.  He has countless hours of examining the biology of baitfish and how they relate to their environment.   During that time, Koppers has fish for a number of different species, following the game fish and baitfish through their migration patterns.  “Fishing for different species is the key to my understanding how to catch fish and how bait reacts,” explained Koppers.

Unlike other lure manufactures, LIVETARGET Lures has a unique attitude, “When it comes to the fishing industry, I personally feel that a manufacture should explain more than just listing all the freshwater fish their lure can catch,” Koppers continued, “our products have instruction inside each box giving the angler information on how and where to use the lure.”  Few companies go to that expense to educate anglers about the lure they just bought.   “Anglers are like a sponge, always wanting new and up to date information on the lure they just bought,” explained Koppers.

The printed instructions cover everything an angler needs to know to catch fish.  The first part covers location where the forage is normally located.  Secondly, certain conditions anglers have to factor in when using that particular LIVE TARGET Lure.  Here are a few of the instructions and tips for fishing the LIVETARGET Lures Crawfish.  When using the LIVETARGET Crawfish (crank), anglers must consider depth, speed, and deflection.  LIVETARGET Lures recommend anglers use either a clinch knot or loop knot to fasten the main fishing line, not a snap as this would hinder the swimming action.  Cast the LIVETARGET Lure close or in to cover.  Try different retrieves until you find the right speed for fish to bite, LIVE TARGET Lures can be reel either fast or slow enough to activate a steady wobble.  Present the LIVE TARGET Lure parallel to contours, cover, and structure.  The instructions also include how to get your bait free if you get hung up or snagged. 

The list of LIVETARGET Lures includes Golden Shiner, Crawfish (trap), Shad, Smelt, Blueback Herring, Yellow Perch, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Crawfish (crank), Pumpkinseed, and Bluegill.  Every LIVETARGET Lure comes rigged with super sharp Daiichi hooks.

Matching the hatch is not a new principle in fishing but few companies have gone to the extent and research LIVETARGET Lures has to make them anatomically correct with life-like movement, and accurate color patterns.  In fact, they are so realistic you can hear all the fish in the school sing MMMM MMMM good, MMMM MMMM good, that’s what LIVETARGET Lures are MMMM MMMM good.
