If you're new to bass fishing, chances are you don't have any idea about the different types and benefits of each bait. While most of us know about Shad Raps and Hair jigs, there are a few more interesting options to try. In this article, I'll give you an overview of each type of bait and explain which one works best. These baits can be mastered before you move on to the next section.
Shad Rap
Rapala Shad Rap is an excellent crankbait that mimics baitfish. It's perfect for freshwater and saltedwater bass fishing, thanks to its natural swimming action as well as the lifelike patterns. This bait is constructed from premium Balsa wood for added durability and comes in a number of proven colors. Each model has stainless steel through wire hooks. These hooks are very effective in catching fish. Its unique shape allows it to be cast very far and can also be used to catch larger fish.
Hair jigs
Hair jigs are similar to other types of baits. At first, you will need to blast the hair jig. Once the hair is down to the bottom, slowly hop it up and then down. This will allow bass to swim over the bait and trigger a reaction bite. If you're fishing in colder water, you'll want to take your time and avoid sudden jumps that might cause a reaction bite.
Jerkbaits
Jerkbaits can be used in all seasons, not just during warm months. They can be used all year. But jerkbaits perform best in cooler environments. Fishmasters offers a range of jerkbaits which are great for fishing in cold water. These baits are best used slowly and at different depths. Here are some tips for using jerkbaits efficiently.
Spinnerbaits
There are many benefits of using spinnerbaits as bass baits. Spinnerbaits produce a unique vibration when they are fished. The blade design gives the angler the ability to adjust the speed of the bait or its depth. The action patterns of different blade styles and colors will have an impact on the perception of the bait by fish. Some types are best fished near the banks, while others prefer to be fished in murky or stained waters.
Frogs with hollow bodies
Bass fishing is made easier by the unique hollow-body design of frogs. They sit on the ground and on the vegetation. When they are ready to retrieve the bait, they can be found through the shoreline. The extra motion is what will attract the bass and keep them hooked. The problem is how to use them for bass fishing. Continue reading to find out how to use hollow frogs in bass baits.
Jigging spoons
It is important to know the preferences of bass when using jigging bowls as baits. This lure can also be used in winter when the bass are hiding under aquatic cover. However, spoons are most effective during the fall when bass start to school. These predators eat a large amount of baitfish during this time. You should slow down your presentation of the bait to trigger reaction strikes and feeding strikes.
