Bujó

Bujó is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly a type of fishing lure. As a fishing lure, a bujó is typically designed to imitate a live baitfish, insect, or other prey animal. These lures come in a vast array of shapes, sizes, colors, and materials, including plastic, metal, and feathers. They are used to attract fish by mimicking the movement and appearance of food. Anglers cast and retrieve bujó lures in various ways to entice strikes from predatory fish.

The term bujó can also occasionally be used in certain regional dialects or slang contexts, but its primary and most widely recognized meaning relates to fishing equipment. In this fishing context, the effectiveness of a bujó often depends on matching the lure to the target species, water conditions, and the specific fishing techniques being employed. Anglers often carry a selection of bujó lures to adapt to different fishing scenarios. The development of bujó lures has a long history, with modern designs incorporating advanced materials and hydrodynamic principles to enhance their appeal to fish.
