Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Rubberworms. Softplastics. 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. You should try to mimic the movements of prey animals as closely as you can in order to get the best results.
Soft plastics
A combination of glitter, sand and colored plastics is being used to bait bass. These lures have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. They are attached to hooks and jigheads to facilitate fishing. However, this does not mean that they should be used exclusively. You need to consider what kind of fish you're targeting, and what color soft plastics you're using.
Most soft plastic lures float easily on water's surface, and some bob a bit. A bobbling motion makes them appear more natural to bass. Depending on the type of soft plastic you're using, it can be difficult to determine whether a bass will bite a lure with a bobbling action. Use a weighted lure if you want to rig the bait.
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. A swimbait’s action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. The best line-thru swimmerbaits for fishing for bass are those that can be used in clear water.
Swimbaits are generally designed to imitate baitfish. They are most effective when bass feed on shad. Semi-translucent swimmingbaits will be easily visible in clear waters. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. You can use a variety of colors, from black and white to green pumpkin. Chartreuse matches the skirts of Chatterbaits. Whatever type of swimbait your choose, match your presentation to the species of fish that 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. If bass are very picky, you may need to reduce your size. You can also try smaller swimbaits if you are having trouble getting bass to bite. You should also consider the profile. Try fishing smaller swimbaits using a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing during the spring and fall, when the baitfish are 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 that have flat sides look like minnows or forage fish will be more natural.
A flat-sided crankbait can be a great choice when fishing in stained waters. This is because bass are highly sensitive and very 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. However, be aware that not all flat-sided crankbaits are created equal. Some lures sink deeper than others while others swim faster.
Rubber worms
Rubber worms can be very effective as artificial lures for bass, but it is crucial to the success of your rig. There are many options for rubber worm rigs depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. Although they might not be the most popular bass fishing lures, these lures are very effective at attracting other species as well.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It has been on the market for years and is popular with bass anglers. Its natural water colour makes it easier than ever to hook a bass. It can be combined with aworm sinker to produce both a splash and a pause.
