Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Rubberworms. Softplastics. Because they imitate the movements of prey animal animals, these artificial lures are ideal for catching bass. First, you need to know how to use artificial lures correctly. To get the best results, mimic the movements and movements of prey animals as closely possible.
Soft plastics
As the age of soft plastics is over, baits for bass are made from a combination sand/glimmer and colored plastics. These lures, which are designed to imitate life, are available in hundreds if colors and configurations. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. They should not be used solely, however. 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. A bobbling motion makes them appear more natural to bass. 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 several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits come with no hooks while others have hooks. A swimbait's ability to move depends on several factors including weight, hook size, and rigging. Line-thru swimbaits work well if you are fishing for bass in clear waters.
Swimbaits are designed to look like baitfish and are best in areas where bass feed on the shad. Semi-translucent Swimbaits will easily be visible in clear waters. A shiny paint or glitter will add scale effects. Many colors are possible, including black and white. Chartreuse is the perfect color for a Chatterbait's skirt. However, you should match the presentation of your swimbait with the fish species you're trying to capture.
Your swimbait's size will depend on three factors: the size and type of fish being targeted, how big the fishery is and how much forage you have. Bass can be picky so you might need to reduce your size. If you have trouble getting the bass to bite, you may be able to use a smaller swimming bait. Remember to take into account the profile. Try fishing smaller swimbaits using a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing during the spring and fall, when the baitfish are active. Flat-sided crankbaits for bass look and feel more like real bait than round-bodied ones, especially when fishing in shallower or colder water. Flat-sided crankbaits mimic the flat-sided movements that minnows and forage fish make, so choosing the right size and color will appear 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 in the lateral lines of their prey. 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 will sink more deeply than others, while others will swim faster.
Rubber worms
While using rubber worms as artificial lures for bass can be extremely effective, the rig that you use is important to its success. There are many variations of a rubber worm-rig depending on the fishing conditions. The most common are the Carolina Rig or Texas Rig, Wacky Rig or Ned Rig. While they may not be the most appealing bass fishing lures, they are effective for attracting bass and other species.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It comes in a green pumpkin color 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 than ever to hook a bass. It can also be combined with the worm sinker for a pause followed by a splash.

Do you need a bobber to fish?
Yes. A bobber is used to keep the bait from getting away when fishing. There are two parts to a bobber: the float, and the line.

You should not use a Bobber as the lure can sink into the water and make it more difficult for fish to bite.

How To
How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water. Rinse the item with water after washing. If the item isn't washed thoroughly enough, dirt and bacteria could remain, leading to infection. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. You should also avoid touching the item's surfaces when cleaning. If you touch something dirty, you risk transferring germs onto the object.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. You may want to use different detergents or solvents, depending on the type and model of your fishing gear. Certain things are best avoided as they can cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing liquids contain enzymes and chemicals that help break down organic materials such as scales, slime, and blood. They also contain surfactants that help loosen dirt and grime from surfaces. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain removal products directly to areas where the oil and fat are located will remove the stain while not damaging the underlying materials.
You'll find many options in your local home improvement shop if you are looking for cleaner solutions for your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some are made to remove small amounts of grease; others can handle larger quantities. You can choose the one that fits your needs the best.
