Soft plastic crawfish is the best choice for lures for riverbass. Texas-rigged worms with lightweight jigs will effectively slam currents and keep your bait in front of the fish’s nose. You have a better chance of landing a bite if your lure is kept in front of the bass for as long as possible. Here are some other lures that can help you land more fish.
Float wins over everything
When it comes to river bass fishing, the St. John's River's River is where float wins. There are current seams in the river that form in areas of cover, island habitats and river switches. The current seams provide ample cover for bass to wait for their prey. Many times, this means catching threadfin shad. The process of shad-fishing has been challenging for years, but new technology makes it much easier.
Blue Fox spinnerbait
Blue Fox spinnerbaits, which are also very popular for fishing in rivers, are among the most sought-after baits. These baits are made from premium components such as VMC hooks that produce consistent, reproducible results. The popular Blue Fox spoon is considered the gold standard of spinnerbaits, and it is copied but never duplicated. This bait is well-known because it generates a bucktail bite. The compact size of the bait makes it easy for anyone to cast.
Buzzbait
Near timber and vegetation are good places to find river bass. A log or branch that is dying of grass will be a good place to look. You can also fish from branches and logs. Plastic frogs can be used to imitate live baitfish. Buzzbaits are more appealing to bass as they offer a greater target. This lure is also suitable for fall fishing, as the baitfish will still be active.
Crankbait
A square-bill baitbait is great for shallow waters where there is little cover or structure. This bait's unusual movement can trigger a bite. Bass also respond to the unusual sound of a crankbait crashing into something underwater. Bass will be attracted to the erratic motion and stay hooked. The lure might suddenly stop moving so the fish may attempt to take the bait.
Aquatic plants
Although it is important that you keep the vegetation levels low in your water bodies to avoid water pollution and eutrophication, excessive vegetation can have a detrimental effect on your fish habitat. Aside from clogging the flow of water, aquatic vegetation can also block power plants and water plant intakes. They can also reduce dissolved oxygen levels and decrease the number of fish in your lake. While aquatic plants have many benefits, some may not believe they are necessary.
Falling water levels
The river bass fishing industry isn't likely to be affected by falling water levels. Changes in water levels have an effect on bass behavior, especially those that are in shallow water. Fall bass movements are complicated because there are several factors that are involved. To get a better idea of what to expect, you should consider the following facts about fall bass movement. First, remember that fall bass tend to be less aggressive than spring bass.
Use of lures
The type and size of the fish you are trying to catch is a key factor in choosing which baits you should use for river bass fishing. The size and type of bait used will affect how big your lure is. Smaller spinnerbaits featuring a grub one arm and small spinner the other will catch more fish and produce fewer hangups. These baits are easy to unhook and make excellent choices for tidal rivers.

Statistics
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- 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)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)

Why use a spinning arrow?
Spinning rods are used to cast your lure into water without having to leave the boat. If you don’t have the time or desire to get back in your boat quickly after each cast, it’s a great choice. The spinning rod allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. The rod consists of three main components: the handle and the reel seat. The handle is used to hold the rod, and the shaft. The rod's tips are attached to the hook by the butt portion. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many options for rods. Some rods can only be used for trolling and casting. Others are designed to be used for various purposes, including fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing, etc.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. If you are fishing for smaller species, such a trout or salmon, a lighter weight rod may work better. You could even purchase multiple rod sizes depending upon how big you plan to catch the fish.
Spinning rods aren't just for freshwater fishing. They are used extensively for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners often have a longer rod but a smaller diameter. They can cast further distances because of this. But, there are some drawbacks to saltwater fishing with a spinning rod. First, unlike freshwater spinning rods, saltwater ones do not come with reels. You will need to purchase one on its own. Secondly, they are typically quite expensive. A spinning rod is worth considering if you enjoy catching bigger fish.
A spin fishing method is when a fisherman uses his spinning rod to cast a weighted lure in the water. When the lure moves through the water it turns around its weighted center point. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. The lure will draw more fish to itself. The lure will then attract more fish to the angler's reel. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
