This article will cover various artificial lures designed for bass. Learn about Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Soft plastics. Because they imitate the movements of prey animal animals, these artificial lures are ideal for catching bass. Before you can use these artificial lures effectively, it is important to learn how to correctly work 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 have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. This does not mean they should be used exclusively. You should consider the type of fish that you are targeting as well as the color of the soft plastics you use.
Most soft plastic lures can float well on water's surface. However, some lures bob a little. They look more like bass if they bob. It depends on the soft material you use, it might be difficult for bass to bite lures with bobbling actions. Make sure you remove any weighted sinkers before rigging.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits can be smaller and have no hooks. Others are larger and more rigid with a hooked. A swimbait’s action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. Line-thru swimbaits work well if you are fishing for bass in clear waters.
Generally, swimbaits are made to mimic baitfish, and they are most effective in waters where bass feed on shad. Semi-translucent swimbaits are easily visible in clear water. Add scale effects to your water with shiny paint or glitter. You can use a variety of colors, from black and white to green pumpkin. Chartreuse matches the skirts of Chatterbaits. No matter which type of swimbait, be sure to match it with the species you are trying to catch.
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. 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. You should also consider the profile. A spinning rod is a better choice for smaller swimbaits.
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. Crankbaits with flat sides mimic the flat-sided movements of forage fish and minnows, so the right size and color will look more natural.
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. They also swim faster in stained waters, making flat-sided crankbaits perfect 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 rubber worms can work well as artificial lures to bass, your choice of rig is key to their success. There are many options for rubber worm rigs depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular rigs are the Carolina Rig. Texas Rig. Wacky Rig. and Ned. 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 comes in a green pumpkin color and measures 9 inches. It has been available for years and is very popular with bass anglers. 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.

Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
- 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)

How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. If you don't want your casts to take too long, a spinning rod is a good choice. A spinning rod will allow you to cast from any position, while maintaining control over your line. The main components of the rod are the handle, reel seat, and butt section. The handle is where you hold the rod and grip the shaft. The rod's tip is attached to the hook at the butt section. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many different types of rods available today. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others can be used in a variety ways, such as fly fishing and spin fishing.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even purchase multiple rod sizes depending upon how big you plan to catch the fish.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They are also used frequently for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinningrods are heavier than their freshwater counterparts. They require stronger materials in order to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. But, there are some drawbacks to saltwater fishing with a spinning rod. Saltwater spinning rods are not like freshwater ones. Instead, you must purchase one separately. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. A spinning rod is worth considering if you enjoy catching bigger fish.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. The lure spins around the center point of the weighted lure as it swims through the water. This causes the lure and fish to move around in the water erratically, making it harder for them to identify the lure. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
