==Types of Lures==

===Swimmer Lure===

In {{TP|-}}, the '''Swimmer Lure''' is the default fishing apparatus used. This Lure bobs up and down to attract all types of Fish.<ref>{{Cite|The back-and-forth action attracts all types of fish.|N/A|TP}}</ref> This Lure, however, cannot attract deep-water dwelling Fish, it seems to be modelled after a "Walking Lure".

===Popper Lure===

In {{TP|-}}, the '''Popper Lure''' is a step up from the Swimmer Lure, having the ability to attract mainly deep-water dwelling Fish by using a highly aggravating popping sound at the surface of the water in order to scare more sensitive Fish away.<ref>{{Cite|The call of this sound-making lure is great for big fish in deep waters.|N/A|TP}}</ref>

===Spinner Lure===

Appearing only in {{TP|-}}, the '''Spinner Lure''' is used to attract nervous fish by splashing the water making lots of noise.<ref>{{Cite|The call of this lure's propeller is a siren song to nervous fish.|N/A|TP}}</ref> It looks like a minnow, but has propellers on its front and back. These propellers make enough noise on the surface of the water, making shy Fish come up and take a bite. This Lure is the best lure to use when trying to catch the [[Fish#Hylian Pike|Hylian Pike]], despite it's name, it's modelled after a "Propeller Lure".

===Frog Lure===

The '''Frog Lure''' is a secret fishing lure that can only be unlocked by beating eight rounds of the first level of the [[Rollgoal]] game in {{TP|-}}.<ref>{{Cite|You can only use a frog lure if you beat the Rollgoal game I designed! And you have to beat EVERY level!|Hena|TP}}</ref> It can be seen hanging on the wall behind [[Hena]] in the fishing hut. It is in the shape of a frog which is good food for large fish. This is the only Lure that can catch the Hylian Loach ''legally'', and it's also a good choice for catching the Hyrule Bass.<ref>{{Cite|The must-have lure for bass.|N/A|TP}}</ref> However, this lure is hard to control, and excellent skill with the controls is needed to get it to function properly.<ref name=frog>{{Cite|If you try to hook a fish too quickly with the frog lure, you might lose it... That's what makes it so hard. You might want to give it a little more time before you try to hook it.|Hena|TP}}</ref> Unlike other lures, once a fish goes for the Frog Lure, Link must let the Fish nibble on the Lure for a bit before trying to hook it; otherwise, the Fish will lose interest and escape.<ref name=frog/>

===Sinking Lure===

The Sinking Lure is a fishing Lure found in {{OoT}}, {{TP}}, and {{MM3D}}. This Lure is illegal to use when fishing, so Link must be careful not to get caught. However, in {{MM3D|-}}, it is available for legitimate use and appears to be legal, as the {{Plural|MM3D|Fishing Hole Man|link}} offer it as an option when Link fishes at either one of the Fishing Holes.<ref>{{Cite|The rod with the sinking lure, then? Nice. Just the ticket fer catchin' fishies who hang out near the bottom of the water. Them bottom dwellers.|Fishing Hole Man|MM3D}}</ref>

===Big Catch Lure===

[[File:PH Big Catch Lure Model.png|left]]

In {{PH|-}}, the Big Catch Lure is a Lure that the [[Old Wayfarer]] can give to Link if he proves himself to be dedicated to fishing by showing him the [[Loovar]].  With this Lure, Link can catch larger Fish and even the legendary [[Fish#Neptoona|Neptoona]].
