Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. You will learn about Swimbaits, Flat-sided crankbaits, Rubber worms, and Soft plastics. These artificial lures are perfect for catching bass, because they mimic the movements of prey animals. Before you can use these artificial lures effectively, it is important to learn how to correctly work them. To get the best results, mimic the movements and movements of prey animals as closely possible.
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 are molded to mimic life and are available in hundreds of colors and configurations. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. This doesn't mean that they should only be used. You need to consider what kind of fish you're targeting, and what color soft plastics you're using.
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. If you're using a weighted sinker, be sure to remove the weight 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 ability to move depends on several factors including weight, hook size, and rigging. Line-thru swimbaits work well if you are fishing for bass in clear waters.
Swimbaits are designed to look like baitfish and are best in areas where bass feed on the shad. Semi-translucent swimmingbaits will be easily visible in clear waters. Shiny paint and glitter can create scale effects. There are many colors that work, from green pumpkin to black or white. Chartreuse matches the skirts of Chatterbaits. 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 fishery, forage size, and target fish all affect the size you need to make your swimbait. 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 for bass are perfect for fishing in early spring and early fall when baitfish are very active. Flat-sided crankbaits for bass look and feel more like real bait than round-bodied ones, especially when fishing in shallower or colder 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.
Flat-sided crankbaits work well in stained water as they are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations in their prey's lateral line. They also swim faster in stained waters, making flat-sided crankbaits perfect 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
Although rubber worms are a great way to lure bass with artificial lures, it's important to know what rig you use. A rubber worm rod rig can be modified to suit different fishing conditions. The most common are the Carolina Rig or Texas Rig, Wacky Rig or 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, for example, are great worms for larger hooks. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It has been available for years and is very popular with 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.

How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. Always rinse your item after washing it. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. You should also avoid touching the item's surfaces when cleaning. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. You might need to use specific detergents or solvents depending on the type of fishing gear. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, you should use warm water and dishwashing liquid. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Oils and fats on the surface of gear are often responsible for staining. Applying stain-removal products directly to the affected area will help remove the stain and not damage the underlying material.
