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. Because they imitate the movements of prey animal animals, these artificial lures are ideal for catching bass. First, you need to know how to use artificial lures correctly. The best way to achieve the best results is to imitate the movements of prey animal.
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 are molded to mimic life and are available in hundreds of colors and configurations. To make fishing with them easier, they are rigged on hooks or jigheads. This doesn't mean that they should only be used. 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. A bobbling action makes them look more lifelike 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. 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 are smaller, and come with no hooks, while others are more rigid with a hook. A swimbait’s action will depend on several factors like weight, rigging, size and hook type. If you're fishing for bass in clear water, line-thru swimbaits are ideal for the job.
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. 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. But whatever type of swimbait you choose, make sure to match your presentation with the species of fish you're 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. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. You should also consider 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. 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 that have flat sides look like minnows or forage fish will be more natural.
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing in stained water, as bass are very sensitive to vibrations. 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. But, not all flatsided crankbaits can be used equally. Some lures may sink more than others, and others may swim faster.
Rubber worms
The rig that you use to lure bass fish with rubber worms is critical. There are many variations of a rubber worm-rig depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular rigs are the Carolina Rig. Texas Rig. Wacky Rig. and Ned. Although they might not be the most popular bass fishing lures, these lures are very effective at attracting other species as well.
Zoom Magnum II Worms can be used to hook larger hooks. It comes in a 9-inch length and is available in green pumpkin. This product has been in the market for years, and it is very popular among bass anglers. Its natural water colour makes it easier to hook a bass. You can use it in combination with a Worm Sinker to create a pause or splash.

Statistics
- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- 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)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)

How To
Why should you use spinning rods?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. This is a great option if you don’t want to spend too much time returning to the boat after casting. A spinning rod is designed to allow you to make casts from any position while still maintaining control of your line. The rod has three main components; handle, butt section, and reel seat. The handle is where you hold the rod and grip the shaft. Attach the rod's end to the hook in the butt area. Finally, the reel seat holds your line onto the reel. There are many types of rods today. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others are designed to be used for various purposes, including fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing, etc.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. You would need a heavy-duty rod if your goal is to catch large predatory fish like pike and bass. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even go so far as to buy several rod sizes depending on how big the fish you hope to catch is.
Spinning Rods are not limited to just freshwater fishing. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners are more likely to use a longer length rod and have a wider diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, saltwater spinning rods do not come with reels like freshwater ones. You will need to purchase one on its own. They can also be very expensive. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
Spin fishing is a method of angling in which a fisherman uses a spinning rod to cast a weighted lure into the water. When the lure is in the water, it will spin around the weighted central point. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. Fish may mistakenly consider the lure food and begin eating it. The lure will draw more fish to itself. The line attached to the lure can be reeled in by the fisherman. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
