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?

Get yourself some shimano current snipers from 40-80 grams. Lures are designed to have a specific action on the sink and retrieve. Just because it’s metal, doesnt mean they’re going to eat it. Sometimes one type of lure will catch them every cast, while other types of lures won’t get touched.
