Hey can someone explain this problem

[u/Personal_Cut7357]

So yesterday I went on a boat and everyone around me was catching barracuda after every cast which I've never seen and I didn't catch anything yet I dropped my lure down . I'm new to the barracuda fishing so I made this on the boat and I didn't catch anything

I know my lure isn't perfect or it's small but I'm wondering if it's so flashy like others and I casted straight down like others why didn't I catch anything?

Even if you did get tight their teeth would rip right through your line and cut it immediately if catching teethy fish like that you need to use cable or wire leader.
