Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. Learn about Swimbaits. Flat-sided crankbaits. Soft plastics. Because they imitate the movements of prey animal animals, these artificial lures are ideal for catching bass. You must learn how to use these artificial lures properly. You should try to mimic the movements of prey animals as closely as you can in order to get the best results.
Soft plastics
A combination of glitter, sand and colored plastics is being used to bait bass. These lures can be made to look like real life and come in hundreds of different 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. It all depends on what type of fish you are fishing for and the color you choose.
Most soft plastic lures float easily on water's surface, and some bob a bit. They appear more real to bass by having a bobbling action. Depending on which soft plastic you are using, it can be hard for bass to decide whether they will bite a lure that has a bobbling action. Make sure you remove any weighted sinkers before rigging.
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. The action of a swimbait depends on many factors such as weight, rigging and hook size. Line-thru swimbaits work well if you are fishing for bass in clear waters.
Generally, swimbaits are made to mimic baitfish, and they are most effective in waters where bass feed on shad. Semi-translucent swimmerbaits can be seen easily in clear water. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. You can use a variety of colors, from black and white to green pumpkin. Chartreuse matches the skirt of a Chatterbait. However, it doesn't matter what type of swimbait is you use, ensure that your presentation matches the species of fish you are 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. You should also consider the profile. Try spinning a rod to fish for smaller swimbaits.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits designed for bass fishing are ideal for early spring and early autumn when baitfish are at their most active. These flat-sided crankbaits are more realistic than round-bodied lures. They can be used in shallow or deep water and look much like real bait. Crankbaits that have flat sides look like minnows or forage fish will be more natural.
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing in stained water, as bass are very sensitive to vibrations. Bass can detect vibrations in the lateral line of their prey. Also, they swim faster when stained water is present, which makes flat-sided crankbaits suitable for stained water. However, be aware that not all flat-sided crankbaits are created equal. 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 options for rubber worm rigs depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. They can be effective for attracting both bass and other species.
For larger hooks, the Zoom Magnum II Worm is a great choice. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It is a popular choice for bass anglers as it has been around for many years. Its natural colour makes it easy to hook a bass. It can also be combined with the worm sinker for a pause followed by a splash.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
You may also want to place a tripod along the shoreline or on top of a rock ledge when casting heavy rods. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
