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. 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. For the best results, try mimicking prey animals' movements as closely and accurately as 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 have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. They are attached to hooks and jigheads to facilitate fishing. However, this does not mean that they should be used exclusively. 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 glide easily on water's surface. Others bob a little. They look more like bass if they bob. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
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 action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. 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 swimbaits are easily visible in clear water. You can add scale effects with glitter or shiny paint. You can use a variety of colors, from black and white to green pumpkin. 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 swimbait depends on three factors: how large the fishery is, the size of forage, and the type of fish you're targeting. You may need to reduce the size of your swimbait if you have bass that are picky. A smaller swimbait is an option if the bite is not strong. And don't forget to consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
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. 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 in the lateral lines of their prey. Flat-sided crankbaits are ideal for stained water because they can swim faster in it. Flat-sided crankbaits may not be all created equal. Some lures will sink further than others, while some lures will 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. There are many variations of a rubber worm-rig depending on the fishing conditions. The most common are the Carolina Rig or Texas Rig, Wacky Rig or Ned Rig. These lures may not be as appealing to bass fishermen, but they are effective at attracting fish and other species.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It comes in a green pumpkin color 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 also be used in conjunction with a worm sinker to produce a pause and a splash.

How To
How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water. Always rinse your item after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. Avoid touching the item's surface when cleaning. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. Surfactants help remove dirt and grime from surfaces. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Stain removers can be applied directly to the spot where the oil or fat is present. This will remove the stain without causing damage to the underlying material.

Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. The one that best suits your needs is available.
