This article will explain the various types of artificial lures that bass fishermen use. Swimbaits will be covered as well as Flat-sided crankbaits (also known as flat-sided crankbaits), Rubber worms, Soft plastics, and soft plastics. These lures can be used to catch bass because they are able to mimic the movements prey animals. These artificial lures can be used if you know how to properly use them. For best results, you should mimic prey animal's movements as closely as possible.
Soft plastics
In the age of the soft plastic, a combination of sand, glitter, and colored plastics are being used as baits for bass. These lures have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. They can be rigged with hooks or jigheads to make fishing easier. But, they shouldn't be used only. It all depends on what type of fish you are fishing for and the color you choose.
Most soft-plastic lures glide easily on water's surface. Others bob a little. The lures that bob resemble bass more. Depending on the soft plastic used, it may be difficult to predict whether a bass will take a lure with a Bobbling Action. Use a weighted lure if you want to rig the bait.
Swimbaits
There are several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. 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. Swimbaits with line-thru lines are best for fishing for bass in clean water.
Swimbaits are generally designed to imitate baitfish. They are most effective when bass feed on shad. Semi-translucent swimmerbaits can be seen easily in clear water. Add scale effects to your water with shiny paint or glitter. A variety of colors can be used, including green pumpkin and black and even white. Chartreuse matches the skirt on 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. In certain fisheries, bass can be picky, and you may have to downsize. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. Also, don't forget the profile. Try fishing smaller swimbaits using a spinning rod.
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 crankbaits for bass look and feel more like real bait than round-bodied ones, especially when fishing in shallower or colder water. Flat-sided crankbaits look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing in stained water, as bass are very sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations along their prey's sideline. Likewise, they swim faster in stained water, which makes flat-sided crankbaits ideal for stained water. You should be aware that flat-sided crankbaits do not all look the same. Some lures will sink further than others, while some lures will swim faster.
Rubber worms
While rubber worms can work well as artificial lures to bass, your choice of rig is key to their success. A rubber worm rod rig can be modified to suit different fishing conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. They are effective in attracting bass and other species, even though they might not be the most attractive lures for bass fishing.
Zoom Magnum II Worms, for example, are great worms for larger hooks. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It is a popular choice for bass anglers as it has been around for many years. Its natural water color makes it easier for bass anglers to hook one. It can also be combined with the worm sinker for a pause followed by a splash.
