This article will cover various artificial lures designed for bass. You will learn about Swimbaits, Flat-sided crankbaits, Rubber worms, and Soft plastics. These artificial lures work well for catching bass as they mimic prey animals' movements. These artificial lures can be used if you know how to properly use them. The best way to achieve the best results is to imitate the movements of prey animal.
Soft plastics
The age of soft plastics has seen a mixture of sand, glitter and colored plastics used as baits to catch bass. These lures can be made to look like real life and come in hundreds of different colors and configurations. They can be rigged with hooks or jigheads to make fishing easier. 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 flot easily on the water's surface. Some bob a bit. They look more like bass if they bob. Depending on the soft plastic used, it may be difficult to predict whether a bass will take a lure with a Bobbling Action. If you're using a weighted sinker, be sure to remove the weight before rigging.
Swimbaits
There are several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. 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. Line-thru swimbaits work well if you are fishing for bass in clear waters.
Swimbaits are designed to look like baitfish and are best in areas where bass feed on the shad. Semi-translucent swimmingbaits will be easily visible in clear waters. Add scale effects to your water with shiny paint or glitter. There are many colors that work, from green pumpkin to black or white. Chartreuse goes well with a Chatterbait's skirt. However, it doesn't matter what type of swimbait is you use, ensure that your presentation matches the species of fish you are targeting.
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. You may need to reduce the size of your swimbait if you have bass that are picky. A smaller swimbait is an option if the bite is not strong. And don't forget to consider the profile. You can fish smaller swimbaits with a spinning reel.
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. Flat-sided crankbaits look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
Flat-sided crankbaits work well in stained water as they are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations in their prey's lateral line. Likewise, they swim faster in stained water, which makes flat-sided crankbaits ideal for stained water. However, be aware that not all flat-sided crankbaits are 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. A rubber worm rig has several variations depending on the fishing conditions. Some of the most popular are the Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, Wacky Rig, and Ned rig. They can be effective for attracting both bass and other species.
Zoom Magnum II Worms can be used to hook 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. Because of its natural water colour, it is easier to hook a Bass. It can also be used in conjunction with a worm sinker to produce a pause and a splash.
