If you happen to come across a lipless crankbait, there’s no reason to be concerned. In essence, the premise is the same as before; the only difference is that the split ring is no longer located on the diving lip, but is instead located directly on top of the bait.
In order to attach your lure to the split ring, you must use the identical techniques you would use to attach a conventional crankbait with a diving lip to the split ring.
As we’ve covered previously, lipless crankbaits may be most effective when utilized in shallow water, although their success rate decreases as the depth of the water increases.

Electric Eel
The Electric Eel is a long and scaleless type of fish that is probably one of the most well-known in the world, thanks to the numerous appearances in films and television shows that include them. They can grow up to nine feet in length and weigh approximately 48.5 pounds when fully grown.
In its natural habitat, the Electric Eel is a lethargic species of fish that can usually be seen in slow-moving freshwater while seeking for prey. It may also be observed occasionally emerging from the water to get some fresh air. Because of the large number of blood arteries present in its mouth, this fish may use it for both ingesting its prey and breathing, acting as if it were a lung for them.
The tail is the part of the body that is responsible for the electric discharge. In this area, you may find the electric organs, which are muscular tissues that have been innervated by the fish’s spinal neurons and thus function as a kind of electric organ. A single charge of the Electric Eel may produce a current of between 300 and 650 volts, which is sufficient to cause you to feel shocked.
Holding an Electric Eel is not recommended – if you want to photograph it, you should put on your best fishing gloves that provide the necessary protection to handle such a fish, and keep it as far away from you as possible because they are known to struggle when they find themselves captured in a photograph.
Tiger Fish
Africa, specifically Lake Tanganyika and the Congo River, is where you’ll find this fish most of the time. The Tigerfish, as its name suggests, has razor-sharp teeth on both of its jaws, making it a highly effective predator, hunter, and fighter — in the event that some other fish decide to have a brawl and choose the wrong guy, we mean fish.
In and of itself, the Tiger Fish is extremely enormous, but there is another type of Tigerfish known as the Goliath Tigerfish that is the largest of them. One of these Goliaths is estimated to weigh up to 154 pounds, and another is much larger. One Tiger Fish would be sufficient to chase down their prey, which is why we described it as “big on its own.” They do, however, hunt and attack in groups, and their primary prey consists primarily of huge game.
You may be sure that its friends are very near by and waiting for the appropriate opportunity to catch and consume their prey if you happen to come across one of them.
Moray Eel
The Moray Eel is significantly different from the conventional eel that most of you are familiar with – simply because the Electric Eel is the one that is most frequently presented and demonstrated. While this eel does not have the ability to electrocute you, it is equipped in a different fashion that can cause significant damage.
They have a thick layer of skin that is also exceedingly smooth and free of scales. The mouth, which is where all of the action takes place, is rather large and equipped with extremely strong, razor-sharp teeth. This means that the Moray Eel is capable of holding onto its prey after biting it, and it is also capable of causing some harm if your leg is the focus of its attack. When they are disturbed, they have been known to become rather ferocious.
Wearing only fishing shorts in seas known to be home to Moray Eels is certainly not a good idea – especially if you happen to come into contact with one of them by accident. Although most Moray Eels are around five feet in length, one species, Thyrsoidea macrurus, may grow up to 11.5 feet in length – making it easy to see one when diving underwater. Moray Eels are found in a variety of habitats, including freshwater and saltwater.
Stonefish
There are several species of this poisonous fish that may be found in the tropical Indo-Pacific, most of which live in shallow water. You could have guessed from the name that this kind of fish lives on the ocean’s bottom, among coral and rocks, and in mud, making it completely hidden.
With a huge head and mouth, bumpy skin covered with lumps that resemble warts, and small eyes, the Stonefish is one of the most distinctive species of fish. As still as a stone, these fish make no attempt to distinguish themselves from their surroundings and instead blend into them.
As a result of their high venom content, they pose a concern to underwater divers. They are readily walked on because of their appearance, and when this occurs, the Stonefish will inject venom through the grooves on its dorsal fin spines, causing the victim to die.
Inflicting severe pain — and, in the worst-case scenario, death – on such a fish is virtually guaranteed. Because of this, bare sand is preferable to any rock you might come upon on the bottom of shallow seas you might swim in if you want to rest your foot on one of them.
Pufferfish
The Pufferfish is a small sea creature that is both adorable and adorable. Its capabilities – as well as the possibilities for utilizing them – are pretty intriguing, to say the least.
They are also referred to as blowfish or swellfish, and this is due to the fact that they have the unique capacity to inflate themselves for obvious reasons. They transition from their ordinary fish form to a globular form in this manner – but they still have much to show for their efforts. Their skin is prickly, and when the Pufferfish is inflated, the pricks stand out more more, ready to harm anyone who comes into contact with the Pufferfish.
A beak-shaped shape is formed when the teeth are fused together, giving the bird its name. The majority of the fish in this species are fairly little, however there have been reports of individuals that have grown to exceed three feet in length.
While the Puffer’s spiky bubble of a fish may not appear to be very hazardous on the surface, the true threat lies within. Their internal organs are dangerous, as they contain a venomous compound known as tetrodotoxin, which is toxic to humans. If swallowed, it has the potential to be fatal.
However, in Japan, where this species is referred to as fugu, it is considered a delicacy — but it must be prepared in a specific manner, and only chefs who have received government certification are permitted to make this fish. Chefs who wish to prepare fugu must also complete a number of tests before being permitted to operate in a restaurant. If the fugu is not prepared properly, it is extremely likely that the eater will die as a result of the consumption of the dish.
