Blade baits
For bass that are holding in deeper structures, a blade is an excellent choice. These baits are great for deep reservoirs with clear highlands, channel drop-offs and slick clay points. They are able to work in both clear and stained water. Plain blades produce the most flash. On cloudy days, a painted blade provides maximum bass appeal. A 1/2-ounce is the best choice for probing structures up to 30 feet deep. For deeper applications or casting in a gale, a 3/4-ounce blade is best.
Blade baits can also be used on lakes, reservoirs, and reservoirs. The most commonly used blade baits for fishing for bass are crankbaits and swimbaits. However, blade baits also work well when fishing in cold water. If you are unfamiliar with this type of bait, a good place to start is with a blade bait tutorial. A blade bait can also be made with sand, grass, and rocks. You should choose a color that blends in with the surrounding colors when you fish for bass in brackish, clear, or other types of water. The best water for dark colors is browner, transparent water. Clearer water will work better for earth-tones.
Jigging spoons
Jigging spoons are a popular lure for bass fishing in deep water. Many anglers have reported that they caught spotted bass up to 100 feet deep using jigging spoons. A felt-tip marker is a handy tool to keep in your shirt pocket when fishing deep water. It marks the line at your rod's tip after each strike. This will allow you to accurately lower your spoon to the right depth for retrieving the fish.
When using a jigging spoon, make sure to rig it on a heavy-action reel. Jigging spoons can be very heavy so you need a fast reel to get the hook set quickly. Fishing with a jigging spoon in deep water will require patience, but the lure will entice bass to bite it when it drops quickly through the water column.
Swimbaits
You need to be able to recognize bass behavior when fishing with swimbaits. This type of lure attracts them by sight, so you should be fishing with less buoyant swimbaits when fishing in deep clear water with abundant cover. These baits usually have two to six pieces connected by hinged joints. Hard swimbaits can be hand-crafted or machine-made. They all have different buoyancies. Using a hard body swimbait is best for areas with larger bass that need extra buoyancy.
Big bass are cautious and may not be able to take a swimbait lightly. While a small swimbait may not be intimidating to a larger bass, even a smaller one will try to eat a chunk of it. Swimbaits designed to mimic prey movements are also popular with bass. Huk's blog series teaches you more about swimbaits.
Crankbaits
When fishing for bass in deep water, you will need a crankbait with a big bill, which will produce a realistic wiggle. This will draw bass to your lure. As the crankbait pulls through the water, the bill will dive more, mimicking the behavior of a baitfish. Basses will love a crankbait with a large lip.
Crankbaits, which can cover large areas and easily catch largemouth bass, are a tried strategy. Because they cover a large area, you can target specific depths with one bait. However, it is important you know how to catch bass using crankbaits. The following are some of these techniques. The first step is to know how to cast your crankbait.

How To
How do I clean my fishing equipment?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. Most people use soap and water. Rinse the item with water after washing. There's a possibility of bacteria growth if the item is not rinsed well. If this happens, it can lead to bad odors and even more serious infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. Remember to not touch the item's surface while cleaning. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
In addition to using soap and water, there are many things that you can do to improve the quality of your fishing gear. For example, depending on your type of gear, you might want to use special detergents or solvents. Certain things are best avoided as they can cause damage to your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Instead, you should use warm water and dishwashing liquid. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing solutions contain enzymes and chemicals that aid in the breakdown of organic materials such blood, slime, and scales. They also contain surfactants, which help to remove dirt and grime. A stain remover is recommended if you have concerns about stain removal. Stains are usually caused by oils and fats that remain on the surface of the gear. 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.
There are many cleaners available for fishing gear at your local hardware store. Many stores stock a variety of cleaners that are suitable for various purposes. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. You can pick the one that is most suitable for you.
