In this article, you will learn about various types of artificial lures for bass. There are four types of artificial lures for bass: Swimbaits and Flat-sided crankbaits. Rubber worms and soft plastics are also covered. Because they imitate the movements of prey animal animals, these artificial lures are ideal for catching bass. 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
Soft plastics have become obsolete. Bass baits now include sands, glitters, and colored plastics. These lures can be made to look like real life and come in hundreds of different colors and configurations. They can be rigged with hooks or jigheads to make fishing easier. This does not mean they should be used exclusively. The type of fish and the color of your fishing gear will determine which soft plastics are best.
Most soft plastic lures can float well on water's surface. However, some lures bob a little. A bobbling motion makes them appear more natural to bass. Depending on which soft plastic you are using, it can be hard for bass to decide whether they will bite a lure that has 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 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. If you're fishing for bass in clear water, line-thru swimbaits are ideal for the job.
Swimbaits generally mimic baitfish and perform best in waters where bass eat shad. Semi-translucent swimbaits are easily visible 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 fishery, forage size, and target fish all affect the size you need to make your swimbait. If bass are very picky, you may need to reduce your size. If you have trouble getting the bass to bite, you may be able to use a smaller swimming bait. Also, don't forget 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. 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. Crankbaits with flat sides mimic the flat-sided movements of forage fish and minnows, so the right size and color will look 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 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 are more likely to sink than others and some lures 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. There are many options for rubber worm rigs, including the Carolina Rig (Texas Rig), Wacky Rig (Wacky Rig), and the 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 are great for hooking larger hooks. It is available in green pumpkin and measures 9 inches. It has been popular with bass anglers for many years. 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.

Statistics
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- 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)

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing refers to the sport of catching freshwater fish, such as fish caught from rivers, lakes, streams, and other freshwater sources. Bass, catfish, crappie and trout are the most commonly caught fish. These species can all be caught using several methods. Trolling, trolling, trolling, spinnerbaits and flyfishing are all popular methods.
Finding the right location to catch fish is an important step. This often means finding a spot close to your water source. Next, choose the equipment you want.
Live bait should look like food to fish, so that they will eat it. Live bait may include worms.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. Many people prefer to use lures because they don't require much skill to cast them into the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting might be something you want to do if live bait is not your thing or you want to try out new techniques. Casting is one the most straightforward ways to catch fish. Casting requires little effort and does not require any special skills.
All you need is a rod, reel, line, sinkers, floatant, hooks, and possibly weights. A simple pole will suffice to cast. Simply hold the rod vertically over the water to cast. Next, lower the rod tip so that it touches the water. As soon as it does this the line starts to unwind from the reel. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another way to catch fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
Fishing can be fun and rewarding. There are many ways to fish, and each type has its benefits and disadvantages. While some methods are more straightforward than others, they all require practice and patience.
