You will find information about different types of artificial lures to catch bass in this article. There are four types of artificial lures for bass: Swimbaits and Flat-sided crankbaits. Rubber worms and soft plastics are also covered. These lures mimic the movements and movements of prey animals, making them ideal for bass fishing. These artificial lures can be used if you know how to properly use them. You should try to mimic the movements of prey animals as closely as you can in order to get the best results.
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. These lures can be attached to hooks or other jigheads in order to make it easier to fish with them. But, they shouldn't be used only. 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. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. If you're using a weighted sinker, be sure to remove the weight before rigging.
Swimbaits
There are many different types of artificial bass swimbaits, each with its own characteristics. Some swimbaits are smaller, and come with no hooks, while others are more rigid with a hook. A swimbait’s action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. 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. In clear water, semi-translucent swimbaits will show up easily. Add scale effects to your water with shiny paint or glitter. Many colors are possible, including black and 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.
Three factors affect the size of your swimbait: the size of the fishery, the amount of forage and the type fish you are targeting. Bass can be picky so you might need to reduce your size. 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 designed for bass fishing are ideal for early spring and early autumn when baitfish are at their most active. Flat-sided crankbaits perform better than round-bodied baits, especially when used for fishing in shallow and cold water. Flat-sided crankbaits look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
A flat-sided crankbait is a great choice for fishing in stained waters, where bass 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. Be aware, however, that not all flat-sided crankbaits will be the same. Some lures may sink more than others, and others may swim faster.
Rubber worms
While using rubber worms as artificial lures for bass can be extremely effective, the rig that you use is important to its success. A rubber worm rig has several variations depending on the fishing conditions. There are many options for rubber worm rigs, including the Carolina Rig (Texas Rig), Wacky Rig (Wacky Rig), and the 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 can be used to hook larger hooks. It is available in green pumpkin and measures 9 inches. This product has been in the market for years, and it is very popular among bass anglers. 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.
