This article will cover various artificial lures designed 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. To make use of these artificial lures, you must first learn how to properly work them. The best way to achieve the best results is to imitate the movements of prey animal.
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, which are designed to imitate life, are available in hundreds if colors and configurations. These lures can be attached to hooks or other jigheads in order to make it easier to fish with them. But, they shouldn't be used only. A good choice of soft plastics depends on the type of fish you're targeting and what color you're fishing in.
Most soft plastic lures flot easily on the water's surface. Some bob a bit. They appear more real to bass by having a bobbling action. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. Before rigging, remove the weight from any weighted or weighted sinker.
Swimbaits
There are several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits are smaller, and come with no hooks, while others are more rigid with a hook. A swimbait's ability to move depends on several factors including weight, hook size, and rigging. 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. Semi-translucent swimmerbaits can be seen easily in clear water. A shiny paint or glitter will add scale effects. There are many colors that work, from green pumpkin to black or white. Chartreuse matches the skirts of Chatterbaits. Whatever type of swimbait your choose, match your presentation to the species of fish that you are targeting.
Three factors affect the size of your swimbait: the size of the fishery, the amount of forage and the type fish you are targeting. In certain fisheries, bass can be picky, and you may have to downsize. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. Remember to take into account the profile. A spinning rod is a better choice for smaller swimbaits.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits can be used to catch bass in spring and autumn, when baitfish is very active. These flat-sided crankbaits are more realistic than round-bodied lures. They can be used in shallow or deep water and look much like real bait. Crankbaits that have flat sides look like minnows or forage fish will be more natural.
Flat-sided crankbaits make great choices for fishing in stained waters. Bass are extremely sensitive to vibrations and a flat-sided crankbait makes it a great choice. Bass can sense vibrations along their prey's sideline. Likewise, they swim faster in stained water, which makes flat-sided crankbaits ideal for stained water. However, be aware that not all flat-sided crankbaits are created equal. Some lures are more likely to sink than others and some lures swim faster.
Rubber worms
The rig that you use to lure bass fish with rubber worms is critical. There are many options for rubber worm rigs depending on the fishing conditions. Some of the most popular are the Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, Wacky Rig, and Ned rig. They are effective in attracting bass and other species, even though they might not be the most attractive lures for bass fishing.
The Zoom Magnum II Worm, for example, is a great worm for larger hooks. It is available in green pumpkin and measures 9 inches. It is a popular choice for bass anglers as it has been around for many years. Its natural water colour makes it easier to hook a bass. To produce a pause, and splash, you can also use it with a hook sinker.
