If you're wondering how to fish for bass in deep water, you've come to the right place. This article will explain how to fish for bass with different baits like swimbaits and knife baits. Finally, we will cover basic Jigging spoons. These simple lures work well for bass fishing. They can also be used in a variety of other ways. These baits will help you catch more bass.
Blade baits
For bass that are holding in deeper structures, a blade is an excellent choice. These baits perform well in deep, clear reservoirs highland, channel drop offs, slick pottery points, and 45 degree rock banks. They can work in both clear and slightly stained water. Plain blades produce the most flash. On cloudy days, a painted blade provides maximum bass appeal. For probing structures to a depth of 30 feet, a 1/2-ounce knife is best. For casting in gales or deeper applications, a 3/4-ounce is the best choice.
Blade baits may also be used in reservoirs and lakes. Blade baits can be used for fishing for bass in colder water, as well as on lakes and reservoirs. A tutorial on blade baits is a great way to learn about this type. A blade bait can be made from sand and grass mixed with rock. When fishing for bass in brackish or clear water, try choosing a color that blends with the surrounding colors. Clear water is better for dark colors than browner or transparent waters, while clear water works well for earth-tone colours.
Jigging spoons
Deep-water bass fishing is made easier by jigging spoons. Many anglers reported being able to catch spotted bass at over 100 feet using jigging spools. A felt-tip marker is a handy tool to keep in your shirt pocket when fishing deep water. It marks the line at your rod's tip after each strike. This will allow you to accurately lower your spoon to the right depth for retrieving the fish.
If you are using a jigging tablespoon, ensure that it is rigged on an action reel. Because jigging spoons are heavy, you will need to have a fast reel to set the hook quickly. You will need patience to fish with a jigging rod in deep waters. However, the lure will tempt bass to bite it if it falls quickly through the water column.
Swimbaits
You need to be able to recognize bass behavior when fishing with swimbaits. This type of lure attracts them by sight, so you should be fishing with less buoyant swimbaits when fishing in deep clear water with abundant cover. These baits typically have a hard body with between two and six segments that are connected by hinged joints. You can find hard swimbaits that are handcrafted or machine made, and they all have different buoyancies. If you have large bass, it is best to use a hard body swimmingbait.
Big bass are very wary of swimbaits. A small swimbait might not seem intimidating to larger bass but a bigger one will eat it all. Swimbaits which mimic their prey's movement are also well-received by bass. If you want to know more about the benefits of swimbaits, read Huk's educational blog series.
Crankbaits
Fishing for bass in deepwater requires a crankbait with large bills. This will give the bait a realistic wobble. This wobble will entice bass into striking your lure. As the crankbait gets pulled through the water the bill will dive deeper, mimicking a fish swimming in the vicinity. A bass will often strike a crankbait that has a large mouth.
Crankbaits, which can cover large areas and easily catch largemouth bass, are a tried strategy. You can target specific depths using one bait because they cover a large surface area. However, it is important to learn classic methods to catch bass using crankbaits. Here are some examples of these methods. Knowing how to cast crankbait is the first step.
