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. The best way to achieve the best results is to imitate the movements of prey animal.
Soft plastics
In the age of the soft plastic, a combination of sand, glitter, and colored plastics are being used as baits for bass. These lures can be made to look like real life and come in hundreds of different colors and configurations. These lures can be attached to hooks or other jigheads in order to make it easier to fish with them. 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 action makes them look more lifelike to bass. Depending on the type of soft plastic you're using, it can be difficult to determine whether a bass will bite a lure with a bobbling action. Before rigging, remove the weight from any weighted or weighted sinker.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits can be smaller and have no hooks. Others are larger and more rigid with a hooked. A swimbait’s action is dependent on many factors, such as weight, rigging, hook size and length. For fishing for bass in clearwater, line-thru swimmingbaits are the best choice.
Swimbaits mimic baitfish and work best in water where bass feeds on shad. Semi-translucent Swimbaits will easily be visible in clear waters. Shiny paint and glitter can create scale effects. A variety of colors can be used, including green pumpkin and black and even 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.
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. Some bass are picky and may require you to reduce the size. A smaller swimbait is an option if the bite is not strong. Don't forget about the profile. Try fishing smaller swimbaits using a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits to bass are excellent for fishing in the early spring or early fall when baitfish can be active. Flat-sided lures act and look more like real bait than the round-bodied crankbaits. This is especially true when fishing in shallower and colder waters. 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 work well in stained water as they are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass are able to sense vibrations in their prey’s lateral line. 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 will sink more deeply than others, while others will swim faster.
Rubber worms
While rubber worms can work well as artificial lures to bass, your choice of rig is key to their success. There are many variations of a rubber worm-rig depending on the fishing conditions. Some of the most popular are the Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, Wacky Rig, and Ned rig. While they may not be the most appealing bass fishing lures, they are effective for attracting bass and other species.
Zoom Magnum II Worms are great for hooking larger hooks. It is 9 inches in length and comes in the color green pumpkin. It has been on the market for years and is popular with bass anglers. Its natural water color makes it easier for bass anglers to hook one. It can also be used in conjunction with a worm sinker to produce a pause and a splash.

How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. The most common way to wash your clothes is with soap and water. Always rinse your item after washing it. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. This would lead to a bad smell and even worse infections if left untreated. A good way to prevent this is to dry the items completely before storing them. Another thing that you should keep in mind when doing any type of cleaning is to avoid touching the surface of the item. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
In addition to using soap and water, there are many things that you can do to improve the quality of your fishing gear. You may need to use solvents or detergents that are specific to your gear. There are certain things that you should never use, though, because they could damage your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Instead, use warm water with a dishwashing solution. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing detergents are formulated with enzymes and other chemicals to help dissolve organic materials like blood, slime, scales, and slime. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain-removal products directly to the affected area will help remove the stain and not damage the underlying material.
Your local home improvement store will have many options for cleaning your fishing gear. There are many cleaners available in most stores, each with a different purpose. Some of them are meant to deal with small amounts of grease, while others are intended to handle larger quantities. You can pick the one that is most suitable for you.
