This article will explain the various types of artificial lures that bass fishermen use. Learn about Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Soft plastics. These artificial lures are perfect for catching bass, because they mimic the movements of prey animals. Before you can use these artificial lures effectively, it is important to learn how to correctly work them. 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 are molded to mimic life and are available in hundreds of colors and configurations. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. This does not mean they should be used exclusively. 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. 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. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
Swimbaits
There are several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits can be smaller and have no hooks. Others are larger and more rigid with a hooked. The action of a swimbait depends on many factors such as weight, rigging and hook size. Swimbaits with line-thru lines are best for fishing for bass in clean water.
Generally, swimbaits are made to mimic baitfish, and they are most effective in waters where bass feed on shad. Semi-translucent swimbaits are easily visible in clear water. A shiny paint or glitter will add scale effects. Many colors are possible, including black and white. Chartreuse is the perfect color for a Chatterbait's skirt. No matter which type of swimbait, be sure to match it with the species you are trying to catch.
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. Bass can be picky so you might need to reduce your size. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. And don't forget to consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits designed for bass fishing are ideal for early spring and early autumn when baitfish are at their most 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. Flat-sided crankbaits look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
A flat-sided crankbait can be a great choice when fishing in stained waters. This is because bass are highly sensitive and very sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations in their prey's lateral line. Flat-sided crankbaits are ideal for stained water because they can swim faster in it. 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
The rig that you use to lure bass fish with rubber worms is critical. There are many variations of a rubber worm-rig depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. They can be effective for attracting both bass and other species.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It comes in a 9-inch length and is available in green pumpkin. It is a popular choice for bass anglers as it has been around for many years. Because of its natural water colour, it is easier to hook a Bass. It can also be combined with the worm sinker for a pause followed by a splash.
