This article will cover various artificial lures designed 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 can be used to catch bass because they are able to mimic the movements prey animals. Before you can use these artificial lures effectively, it is important to learn how to correctly work them. For the best results, try mimicking prey animals' movements as closely and accurately as possible.
Soft plastics
Soft plastics have become obsolete. Bass baits now include sands, glitters, and colored plastics. These lures mimic the appearance of real life and are available with hundreds of configurations and colors. They can be rigged with hooks or jigheads to make fishing easier. But, they shouldn't be used only. You need to consider what kind of fish you're targeting, and what color soft plastics you're using.
Soft plastic lures are easy to float on water. Some lures may bob slightly. The lures that bob resemble bass more. Depending on the soft plastic used, it may be difficult to predict whether a bass will take a lure with a Bobbling Action. Before rigging, remove the weight from any weighted or weighted sinker.
Swimbaits
There are several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits are smaller, and come with no hooks, while others are more rigid with a 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 swimbaits are easily visible in clear water. Shiny paint and glitter can create scale effects. Several colors work well, from green pumpkin to black and white. Chartreuse is the perfect color for a Chatterbait's skirt. 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. 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. Don't forget about 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. 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 with flat sides mimic the flat-sided movements of forage fish and minnows, so the right size and color will look more natural.
Flat-sided crankbaits work well in stained water as they are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass can detect vibrations in the lateral line of their prey. Likewise, they swim faster in stained water, which makes flat-sided crankbaits ideal for stained water. But, not all flatsided crankbaits can be used equally. Some lures may sink more than others, and others may swim faster.
Rubber worms
While rubber worms can work well as artificial lures to bass, your choice of rig is key to their success. A rubber worm rod rig can be modified to suit different fishing conditions. The most common are the Carolina Rig or Texas Rig, Wacky Rig or Ned Rig. These lures may not be as appealing to bass fishermen, but they are effective at attracting fish and other species.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It is available in green pumpkin and measures 9 inches. It has been available for years and is very popular with bass anglers. Its natural water color makes it easier for bass anglers to hook one. It can also be used in conjunction with a worm sinker to produce a pause and a splash.

How do you get started with fishing
It is important to understand the basics of fishing before you set out to fish. First, you need to learn about the different types of fish in your area. It is also important to understand where fish like to hang out in order to find them. Casting is a skill that you can learn once you know where the fish are most likely to be found. This involves learning how to throw a lure up into the air and allow it to fall down onto the water. Practice makes perfect!
Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- 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)
- 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)
