Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Rubberworms. Softplastics. These artificial lures are perfect for catching bass, because they mimic the movements of prey animals. You must learn how to use these artificial lures properly. For the best results, try mimicking prey animals' movements as closely and accurately as possible.
Soft plastics
A combination of glitter, sand and colored plastics is being used to bait bass. These lures can be made to look like real life and come in hundreds of different colors and configurations. They are attached to hooks and jigheads to facilitate fishing. This doesn't mean that they should only be used. You should consider the type of fish that you are targeting as well as the color of the soft plastics you use.
Soft plastic lures are easy to float on water. Some lures may bob slightly. A bobbling action makes them look more lifelike to bass. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. Make sure you remove any weighted sinkers before rigging.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits come with no hooks while others have hooks. A swimbait’s action will depend on several factors like weight, rigging, size and hook type. If you're fishing for bass in clear water, line-thru swimbaits are ideal for the job.
Swimbaits are generally designed to imitate baitfish. They are most effective when bass feed on shad. In clear water, semi-translucent swimbaits will show up easily. Add scale effects to your water with shiny paint or glitter. 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 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. You can also try smaller swimbaits if you are having trouble getting bass to bite. And don't forget to consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits can be used to catch bass in spring and autumn, when baitfish is 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 mimic the flat-sided movements that minnows and forage fish make, so choosing the right size and color will appear more natural.
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 sink deeper than others while others swim faster.
Rubber worms
While using rubber worms as artificial lures for bass can be extremely effective, the rig that you use is important to its success. A rubber worm rig has several variations depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas 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 is 9 inches in length and comes in the color green pumpkin. This product has been in the market for years, and it is very popular among bass anglers. Its natural water color makes it easier for bass anglers to hook one. To produce a pause, and splash, you can also use it with a hook sinker.
