Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Swimbaits will be covered as well as Flat-sided crankbaits (also known as flat-sided crankbaits), Rubber worms, Soft plastics, and soft plastics. These lures mimic the movements and movements of prey animals, making them ideal for bass fishing. You must learn how to use these artificial lures properly. The best way to achieve the best results is to imitate the movements of prey animal.
Soft plastics
As the age of soft plastics is over, baits for bass are made from a combination sand/glimmer and colored plastics. These lures have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. These lures can be attached to hooks or other jigheads in order to make it easier to fish with them. They should not be used solely, however. It all depends on what type of fish you are fishing for and the color you choose.
Most soft plastic lures can float well on water's surface. However, some lures bob a little. The lures that bob resemble bass more. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits have smaller hooks and others have a larger hook. A swimbait's ability to move depends on several factors including weight, hook size, and rigging. If you're fishing for bass in clear water, line-thru swimbaits are ideal for the job.
Swimbaits generally mimic baitfish and perform best in waters where bass eat shad. Semi-translucent swimmerbaits can be seen easily in clear water. A shiny paint or glitter will add scale effects. A variety of colors can be used, including green pumpkin and black and even white. Chartreuse matches the skirt of a Chatterbait. However, you should match the presentation of your swimbait with the fish species you're trying to capture.
Your swimbait's size will depend on three factors: the size and type of fish being targeted, how big the fishery is and how much forage you have. Some bass are picky and may require you to reduce the size. You can also try smaller swimbaits if you are having trouble getting bass to bite. Also, don't forget the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits to bass are excellent for fishing in the early spring or early fall when baitfish can be active. Flat-sided lures act and look more like real bait than the round-bodied crankbaits. This is especially true when fishing in shallower and colder waters. Crankbaits that have flat sides look like minnows or forage fish will be more natural.
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing in stained water, as bass are very sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations along their prey's sideline. They also swim faster in stained waters, making flat-sided crankbaits perfect for stained water. Flat-sided crankbaits may not be all created equal. Some lures will sink further than others, while some lures will swim faster.
Rubber worms
The rig that you use to lure bass fish with rubber worms is critical. There are many options for rubber worm rigs depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular rigs are the Carolina Rig. Texas Rig. Wacky Rig. and Ned. They can be effective for attracting both bass and other species.
The Zoom Magnum II Worm, for example, is a great worm for larger hooks. It comes in a 9-inch length and is available in green pumpkin. It has been popular with bass anglers for many years. Its natural water colour makes it easier to hook a bass. To produce a pause, and splash, you can also use it with a hook sinker.

Statistics
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
