You probably don't know much about different baits if you are a beginner to bass fishing. Most people know about Shad Raps or Hair jigs. However, there are some more exciting options. In this article I'll provide an overview and explanation of each type of bait. If you are familiar with these baits, skip to the next part.
Shadrap
The Rapala Shad Rap is a top-quality crankbait designed to mimic baitfish. It is ideal for freshwater and saltwater bass fishing due to its natural swimming action and lifelike patterns. The bait is made from premium Balsawood for extra durability. It also comes in a variety of proven colors. Each model has stainless steel through wire hooks. These hooks are very effective in catching fish. The hook's unique shape allows for it to be cast far, and can also catch larger fish.
Hair jigs
Hair jigs can be used as bass baits in a similar way to other types of jigs. The first step is to blow the hairjig. You can slowly move the hair jig down until it reaches the bottom. This will allow bass to swim over the bait and trigger a reaction bite. When fishing in colder water, it is important to be patient and avoid making sudden jumps which could cause a reaction bite.
Jerkbaits
Jerkbaits can be used in all seasons, not just during warm months. They work all year. Jeerbaits are best used in cooler waters. Fishmasters sells several types of jerkbaits that are perfect for fishing in chilly waters. You can get the best results by slowing down and using different depths of these baits. These are some tips that will help you use jerkbaits more effectively.
Spinnerbaits
There are many advantages to using spinnerbaits in bass fishing. Spinnerbaits produce a unique vibration when they are fished. The blade design allows the anglers to control the speed and run depth of the bait. A variety of colors and blade types will create different action patterns that can be used to influence how the fish perceive your bait. Some spinnerbaits can be fished close to the bank while others are best when you fish in murky water.
Hollow-body frogs
The unique design of hollow-body frogs makes them excellent baits for bass fishing. They sit on the water and on vegetation, which means they are paused at key times and can be retrieved through the shoreline grass. The extra motion is what will attract the bass and keep them hooked. However, it is up to you to know how to use them in order to catch bass. Read on to learn how to use hollow-body frogs as bass baits.
Jigging spoons
It is important to know the preferences of bass when using jigging bowls as baits. This lure can be used by bass both in colder and summer conditions. Spoons work best in the fall, when bass are starting to school. These predators consume large amounts of baitfish. To trigger reactions strikes and feeding strikes, slow down how you present the bait.

How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. Bass, catfish, crappie and trout are the most commonly caught fish. These species can all be caught using several methods. You can use a variety of methods to catch fish such as trolling or casting.
Finding the right location to catch fish is an important step. This often means finding a spot close to your water source. Next, decide the type of equipment you wish to use.
For live bait to work, choose something that looks familiar and appealing to the fish. Live bait can include worms or minnows as well as crickets, frogs or bloodworms.
Artificial lures can be used. These baits are made of plastic, wood feathers rubber metal foam and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. They are able to imitate aquatic prey, such as shiners, crawfish, grubs, minnows, and other animals. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one of most effective ways to catch fish. Casting is easy and requires no special skills.
You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. Casting with a simple pole is easy. In order to cast you simply hold the rod vertically above the surface of the water. Slowly lower the rod's tip until it touches water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another way to catch fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
