If you're wondering how to fish for bass in deep water, you've come to the right place. We'll be covering how to fish using different baits such as swimbaits or blade baits in this article. We'll also cover basics of Jigging spoons. These simple lures are perfect for bass fishing, and they have a wide range of uses. You can learn more about these baits and catch more bass.
Blade baits
A blade is a great option for targeting bass in deeper structures. These baits excel in deep, clear highland reservoirs, channel drop-offs, slick clay points, and 45-degree rock banks. These baits can be used in clear or slightly stained water. A plain blade has the greatest flash while a textured blade gives off maximum bass on cloudy days. A 1/2-ounce blade should be used for probing structures below 30 feet. For casting in gales or deeper applications, a 3/4-ounce is the best choice.
Blade baits also work well on lakes, reservoirs, as well as reservoirs. Swimbaits/crankbaits are most commonly used, but blade baits work well for bass fishing in colder waters. You can find a tutorial on how to make blade bait if you're not familiar with the type of bait. A blade bait can be made from sand and grass mixed with rock. When fishing for bass in brackish or clear water, try choosing a color that blends with the surrounding colors. The best water for dark colors is browner, transparent water. Clearer water will work better for earth-tones.
Jigging spoons
A popular lure for deep-water bass fishing are jigging spooles. Many anglers have reported that they caught spotted bass up to 100 feet deep using jigging spoons. Keep a felt-tip marker handy for deep water fishing. After a strike, mark the tip of your rod with it. When retrieving the fish, make sure to lower the spoon at the right depth.
Use a jigging knife to catch fish. Jigging spoons can be very heavy so you need a fast reel to get the hook set quickly. It is difficult to fish in deep water with a Jigging Spoon. But the lure will catch bass attention when it drops through the water column quickly.
Swimbaits
You need to be able to recognize bass behavior when fishing with swimbaits. This lure is attractive to them by sight. Therefore, you should fish with buoyant swimbaits in deep clear waters with plenty of cover. These baits are typically made of a hard body, with two to six segments 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 very wary of swimbaits. 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 that mimic their prey's movements can also be a hit with bass. Huk's blog series teaches you more about swimbaits.
Crankbaits
Fishing for bass in deepwater requires a crankbait with large bills. This will give the bait a realistic wobble. This will draw bass to your lure. The bill will sink further as the crankbait is pulled through water. This mimics a baitfish swimming nearby. Basses will love a crankbait with a large lip.
Crankbaits, which can cover large areas and easily catch largemouth bass, are a tried strategy. Crankbaits can be used to target specific depths, as they cover large areas. However, it is important you know how to catch bass using crankbaits. These techniques are outlined below. Your first step is to learn how you can cast your crankbait.
