Choosing the Right Cassan Lure for Your Fishing Spot

If you’ve ever cast into the sea near Chapora Jetty or tried your luck off the rocks in Betul, you’ll know one thing for sure — fishing in Goa isn’t just about the fish. It’s about the conditions: tides, depth, wind, and where you’re standing. And those change from spot to spot.

That’s why choosing the right Cassan Lure makes all the difference.

Whether you’re casting from shore, trolling from a boat, or fishing in a quiet estuary, each Cassan fishing lure is designed to behave differently — in movement, depth, and action. And when you match the lure to your location, you give yourself a real shot at landing something worth bragging about. 

Long cast from a rocky headland? Reach for the Ultra Minnow

Say you’re fishing off the Aguada cliffs or the Dona Paula jetty, trying to reach deeper water where Trevally or Snapper might be cruising. You’re casting against the wind, and you need that lure to fly far, stay stable, and get down fast.

The Cassan Ultra Minnow is built just for this. It’s weight-balanced to cut through wind and strong enough to take on aggressive strikes from big coastal fish. Whether you’re after Snapper, Barramundi, or Trevally, this Cassan Lure helps you reach the strike zone — and stay there. It’s also durable enough to handle strong takes and sharp turns.

Tip: Pair it with 20–30 lb braid and a medium-heavy rod to really maximise distance.

Reef edges near Grande Island? Try the Wobbler 120F‑MR

Fishing just off Grande Island or Baina Bay? You’re likely drifting over rocky reef ledges where fish hug the bottom and wait for bait to pass by. Here, you want a lure with noticeable movement that stays in the strike zone.

The Wobbler 120F-MR has a strong side-to-side wobble, perfect for slow and steady retrieval. It mimics a struggling fish — something that Snapper or Mangrove Jack won’t ignore.

Tip: Pause during retrieval to give fish time to strike. Most hits come just as the wobble stops.

Clear water, bright day in Morjim? Flash it up with the Belly Flasher

Some days the water is crystal clear, especially in North Goa’s tidal rivers during winter. Fish get cautious, and visual cues matter more.

That’s when the Cassan Belly Flasher comes into play. Its shiny belly catches sunlight underwater, making it stand out even in calm, bright conditions. It works wonders on Queenfish, Barracuda, and fast-moving predators that hunt by sight.

Tip: Use it during rising tide when baitfish start moving in — that’s when the flashes get noticed.

Tight mangrove creek near Cortalim? Go with the Enticer

Backwater fishing in places like Cortalim, Chicalim or along the Zuari river means shallow water, structure, and careful casting. You need a lure that can suspend and tempt fish holding close to mangroves.

The Cassan Enticer does exactly that. It hangs just above underwater snags, letting you pause and twitch without diving too deep. Perfect for lurking Mangrove Jacks.

Tip: Let this Cassan lure sit between twitches — often, fish strike when it’s still.

Slow-trolling through Salcete backwaters? Barramagic is your buddy

Trolling from a small boat in the Sal or Mandovi? Use the Cassan Barramagic. It swims naturally and can dive just deep enough to stay in midwater strike zones. Great for when you’re covering ground but don’t want to spook the fish.

The right lure does half the work

Fishing in Goa (or anywhere on the Indian coast) is about understanding water. The right Cassan fishing lure helps you work with those conditions — not against them. You don’t need a hundred lures. You just need the right one for the right spot.

And if you’re still unsure, drop by Casa Ibrahim or give us a call. We’ve probably fished that spot too.
