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. You must learn how to use these artificial lures properly. For best results, you should mimic prey animal's movements as closely as possible.
Soft plastics
Soft plastics have become obsolete. Bass baits now include sands, glitters, and colored plastics. These lures have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. They should not be used solely, however. It all depends on what type of fish you are fishing for and the color you choose.
Most soft-plastic lures glide easily on water's surface. Others bob a little. 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. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
Swimbaits
There are many types of artificial swimbaits available for bass. Each has its own unique characteristics. Some swimbaits come with no hooks while others have hooks. A swimbait’s action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. Swimbaits with line-thru lines are best for fishing for bass in clean water.
Generally, swimbaits are made to mimic baitfish, and they are most effective in waters where bass feed on shad. Semi-translucent swimmerbaits can be seen easily in clear water. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. Many colors are possible, including black and white. Chartreuse matches the skirt on a Chatterbait. But whatever type of swimbait you choose, make sure to match your presentation with the species of fish you're 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. You may need to reduce the size of your swimbait if you have bass that are picky. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. Don't forget about the profile. Try fishing smaller swimbaits using a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits designed for bass fishing are ideal for early spring and early autumn when baitfish are at their most active. Unlike round-bodied crankbaits, these flat-sided lures look and act more like real bait, especially when fishing in shallow water or cold water. Crankbaits with flat sides mimic the flat-sided movements of forage fish and minnows, so the right size and color will look 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. The flat-sided crankbaits make it ideal for stained waters as they also swim faster. Be aware, however, that not all flat-sided crankbaits will be the same. Some lures sink deeper than others while others swim faster.
Rubber worms
Although rubber worms are a great way to lure bass with artificial lures, it's important to know what rig you use. There are several options when it comes to rubber worm rigs, depending on the conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. They are effective in attracting bass and other species, even though they might not be the most attractive lures for bass fishing.
Zoom Magnum II Worms, for example, are great worms for larger hooks. It comes in a green pumpkin color and measures 9 inches. It has been available for years and is very popular with 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.

How To
How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many options when it comes to cleaning your fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. Most people use soap and water. It is important to rinse the item well after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. Avoid touching the item's surface when cleaning. You risk spreading germs to objects if you touch them.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. 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. Bleach is one such thing. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing liquids contain enzymes and chemicals that help break down organic materials such as scales, slime, and blood. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. A stain remover is recommended if you have concerns about stain removal. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Applying stain removal products directly to areas where the oil and fat are located will remove the stain while not damaging the underlying materials.
If you're looking for a cleaner solution for your fishing gear, you'll find plenty of options at your local home improvement store. You will find a wide variety of cleaners in your local store, all designed for different purposes. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. The one that best suits your needs is available.
