In this article, you will learn about various types of artificial lures for bass. You will learn about Swimbaits, Flat-sided crankbaits, Rubber worms, and 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. To get the best results, mimic the movements and movements of prey animals as closely possible.
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 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. They should not be used solely, however. A good choice of soft plastics depends on the type of fish you're targeting and what color you're fishing in.
Most soft plastic lures flot easily on the water's surface. Some bob a bit. 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. Before rigging, remove the weight from any weighted or weighted sinker.
Swimbaits
There are many types of artificial swimbaits available for bass. Each has its own unique characteristics. Some swimbaits have smaller hooks and others have a larger hook. The action of a swimbait depends on many factors such as weight, rigging and hook size. 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. In clear water, semi-translucent swimbaits will show up easily. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. Many colors are possible, including black and white. Chartreuse matches the skirt of a Chatterbait. Whatever type of swimbait your choose, match your presentation to the species of fish that 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. 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. Don't forget about the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing during the spring and fall, when the baitfish are active. Unlike round-bodied crankbaits, these flat-sided lures look and act more like real bait, especially when fishing in shallow water or cold water. 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 along their prey's sideline. Likewise, they swim faster in stained water, which makes flat-sided crankbaits ideal for stained water. Flat-sided crankbaits may not be all created equal. Some lures are more likely to sink than others and some lures 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 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. While they may not be the most appealing bass fishing lures, they are effective for attracting bass and other species.
Zoom Magnum II Worms, for example, are great worms for larger hooks. 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. Its natural colour makes it easy to hook a bass. You can use it in combination with a Worm Sinker to create a pause or splash.

How To
How can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. Most people use soap and water. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known for dissolving plastic and metal so you should not use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. Surfactants help remove dirt and grime from surfaces. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Oils and fats left on the surface cause most stains. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
