Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. You will learn about Swimbaits, Flat-sided crankbaits, Rubber worms, and Soft plastics. 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. For the best results, try mimicking prey animals' movements as closely and accurately as possible.
Soft plastics
A combination of glitter, sand and colored plastics is being used to bait bass. These lures, which are designed to imitate life, are available in hundreds if colors and configurations. These lures can be attached to hooks or other jigheads in order to make it easier to fish with them. This does not mean they should be used exclusively. You need to consider what kind of fish you're targeting, and what color soft plastics you're using.
Most soft-plastic lures glide easily on water's surface. Others bob a little. The lures that bob resemble bass more. Depending on which soft plastic you are using, it can be hard for bass to decide whether they will bite a lure that has a bobbling action. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
Swimbaits
There are many kinds of artificial swimbaits to catch bass. Each one has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits are smaller, and come with no hooks, while others are more rigid with a hook. The action of a swimbait depends on many factors such as weight, rigging and hook size. For fishing for bass in clearwater, line-thru swimmingbaits are the best choice.
Swimbaits mimic baitfish and work best in water where bass feeds on shad. In clear water, semi-translucent swimbaits will show up easily. Add scale effects to your water with shiny paint or glitter. Several colors work well, from green pumpkin to black and white. Chartreuse matches the skirt on a Chatterbait. However, it doesn't matter what type of swimbait is you use, ensure that your presentation matches the species of fish you are targeting.
The size of your swimmingbait will depend on three things: how big the fishery and how large the forage are, as well as the type of fish that you are targeting. Bass can be picky so you might need to reduce your size. You can also try smaller swimbaits if you are having trouble getting bass to bite. You should also consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits for bass are perfect for fishing in early spring and early fall when baitfish are very active. These flat-sided crankbaits are more realistic than round-bodied lures. They can be used in shallow or deep water and look much like real bait. Crankbaits that have flat sides look like minnows or forage fish will be more natural.
A flat-sided crankbait is a great choice for fishing in stained waters, where bass are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass are able to 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 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 common are the Carolina Rig or Texas Rig, Wacky Rig or Ned Rig. While they may not be the most appealing bass fishing lures, they are effective for attracting bass and other species.
The Zoom Magnum II Worm, for example, is a great worm for larger hooks. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It is a popular choice for bass anglers as it has been around for many years. Its natural water colour makes it easier to hook a bass. It can be combined with aworm sinker to produce both a splash and a pause.
