Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Swimbaits will be covered as well as Flat-sided crankbaits (also known as flat-sided crankbaits), Rubber worms, Soft plastics, and soft plastics. These artificial lures work well for catching bass as they mimic prey animals' movements. 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 mimic the appearance of real life and are available with hundreds of configurations and colors. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. However, this does not mean that they should be used exclusively. 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. They appear more real to bass by having a bobbling action. It depends on the soft material you use, it might be difficult for bass to bite lures with bobbling actions. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits have smaller hooks and others have a larger hook. A swimbait’s action will depend on several factors like weight, rigging, size and hook type. For fishing for bass in clearwater, line-thru swimmingbaits are the best choice.
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. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. You can use a variety of colors, from black and white to green pumpkin. Chartreuse goes well with a Chatterbait's skirt. However, you should match the presentation of your swimbait with the fish species you're trying to capture.
The size of your fishery, forage size, and target fish all affect the size you need to make your swimbait. Bass can be picky so you might need to reduce your size. A smaller swimbait is an option if the bite is not strong. You should also consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits for bass are perfect for fishing in early spring and early fall when baitfish are very active. Flat-sided lures act and look more like real bait than the round-bodied crankbaits. This is especially true when fishing in shallower and colder waters. Flat-sided crankbaits will mimic the flat-sided movements and colors of minnows and forage fish, so they will look 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 in their prey's lateral line. Likewise, they swim faster in stained water, which makes flat-sided crankbaits ideal for stained water. Flat-sided crankbaits may not be all created equal. Some lures may sink more than others, and others may swim faster.
Rubber worms
Rubber worms can be very effective as artificial lures for bass, but it is crucial to the success of your rig. A rubber worm rod rig can be modified to suit different fishing conditions. There are many options for rubber worm rigs, including the Carolina Rig (Texas Rig), Wacky Rig (Wacky Rig), and the Ned rig. They are effective in attracting bass and other species, even though they might not be the most attractive lures for bass fishing.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It has been on the market for years and is popular with bass anglers. Its natural colour makes it easy to hook a bass. To produce a pause, and splash, you can also use it with a hook sinker.

Statistics
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
