In this article, you will learn about various types of artificial lures for bass. There are four types of artificial lures for bass: Swimbaits and Flat-sided crankbaits. Rubber worms and soft plastics are also covered. These lures mimic the movements and movements of prey animals, making them ideal for bass fishing. To make use of these artificial lures, you must first learn how to properly work them. The best way to achieve the best results is to imitate the movements of prey animal.
Soft plastics
Soft plastics have become obsolete. Bass baits now include sands, glitters, and colored plastics. These lures have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. They should not be used solely, however. A good choice of soft plastics depends on the type of fish you're targeting and what color you're fishing in.
Most soft-plastic lures glide easily on water's surface. Others bob a little. A bobbling action makes them look more lifelike to bass. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. If you're using a weighted sinker, be sure to remove the weight before rigging.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits can be smaller and have no hooks. Others are larger and more rigid with a hooked. A swimbait’s action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. Swimbaits with line-thru lines are best for fishing for bass in clean water.
Swimbaits are designed to look like baitfish and are best in areas where bass feed on the shad. Semi-translucent swimbaits are easily visible in clear water. Shiny paint and glitter can create scale effects. Many colors are possible, including black and white. Chartreuse matches the skirts of Chatterbaits. Whatever type of swimbait your choose, match your presentation to the species of fish that you are targeting.
The size of your fishery, forage size, and target fish all affect the size you need to make your swimbait. In certain fisheries, bass can be picky, and you may have to downsize. If you have trouble getting the bass to bite, you may be able to use a smaller swimming bait. Remember to take into account the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits can be used to catch bass in spring and autumn, when baitfish is very active. Unlike round-bodied crankbaits, these flat-sided lures look and act more like real bait, especially when fishing in shallow water or cold water. Flat-sided crankbaits will mimic the flat-sided movements and colors of minnows and forage fish, so they will look natural.
A flat-sided crankbait is a great choice for fishing in stained waters, where bass are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations along their prey's sideline. Also, they swim faster when stained water is present, which makes flat-sided crankbaits suitable for stained water. You should be aware that flat-sided crankbaits do not all look the same. Some lures are more likely to sink than others and some lures swim faster.
Rubber worms
While rubber worms can work well as artificial lures to bass, your choice of rig is key to their success. There are many variations of a rubber worm-rig depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular rigs are the Carolina Rig. Texas Rig. Wacky Rig. and Ned. While they may not be the most appealing bass fishing lures, they are effective for attracting bass and other species.
Zoom Magnum II Worms are great for hooking larger hooks. It is available in green pumpkin and measures 9 inches. It is a popular choice for bass anglers as it has been around for many years. Its natural colour makes it easy to hook a bass. You can use it in combination with a Worm Sinker to create a pause or splash.
