Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Learn about Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Soft plastics. These artificial lures are perfect for catching bass, because they mimic the movements of prey animals. You must learn how to use these artificial lures properly. For best results, you should mimic prey animal's movements as closely as 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, which are designed to imitate life, are available in hundreds if colors and configurations. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. However, this does not mean that they should be used exclusively. It all depends on what type of fish you are fishing for and the color you choose.
Soft plastic lures are easy to float on water. Some lures may bob slightly. They look more like bass if they bob. Depending on the soft plastic used, it may be difficult to predict whether a bass will take a lure with a Bobbling Action. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
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 depends on several factors, including weight, rigging, and hook size. 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 Swimbaits will easily be visible in clear waters. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. A variety of colors can be used, including green pumpkin and black and even white. Chartreuse matches the skirt of a Chatterbait. However, it doesn't matter what type of swimbait is you use, ensure that your presentation matches the species of fish 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. A smaller swimbait is an option if the bite is not strong. Also, don't forget the profile. A spinning rod is a better choice for smaller swimbaits.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits to bass are excellent for fishing in the early spring or early fall when baitfish can be active. Flat-sided lures act and look more like real bait than the round-bodied crankbaits. This is especially true when fishing in shallower and colder waters. Flat-sided crankbaits look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
Flat-sided crankbaits make great choices for fishing in stained waters. Bass are extremely sensitive to vibrations and a flat-sided crankbait makes it a great choice. Bass can sense vibrations in the lateral lines of their prey. The flat-sided crankbaits make it ideal for stained waters as they also swim faster. 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. There are several options when it comes to rubber worm rigs, depending on the conditions. There are many options for rubber worm rigs, including the Carolina Rig (Texas Rig), Wacky Rig (Wacky Rig), and the Ned rig. These lures may not be as appealing to bass fishermen, but they are effective at attracting fish and other species.
Zoom Magnum II Worms can be used to hook larger hooks. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. This product has been in the market for years, and it is very popular among bass anglers. Its natural water colour makes it easier than ever to hook a bass. You can use it in combination with a Worm Sinker to create a pause or splash.
