Learn about the different types and uses of artificial lures for bass. You will learn about Swimbaits, Flat-sided crankbaits, Rubber worms, and Soft plastics. These artificial lures are perfect for catching bass, because they mimic the movements of prey animals. Before you can use these artificial lures effectively, it is important to learn how to correctly work them. You should try to mimic the movements of prey animals as closely as you can in order to get the best results.
Soft plastics
The age of soft plastics has seen a mixture of sand, glitter and colored plastics used as baits to catch bass. These lures have hundreds of color options and can mimic real life. These lures can be attached to hooks or other jigheads in order to make it easier to fish with them. However, this does not mean that they should be used exclusively. The type of fish and the color of your fishing gear will determine which soft plastics are best.
Soft plastic lures are easy to float on water. Some lures may bob slightly. A bobbling motion makes them appear more natural to bass. 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. Use a weighted lure if you want to rig the bait.
Swimbaits
There are several different styles of artificial swimbaits for bass, and each has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits don't have hooks at all, others are less rigid and come with no hooks. A swimbait's ability to move depends on several factors including weight, hook size, and rigging. For fishing for bass in clearwater, line-thru swimmingbaits are the best choice.
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. Shiny paint or glitter can enhance scale effects. There are many colors that work, from green pumpkin to black or white. Chartreuse matches the skirt of a Chatterbait. Whatever type of swimbait your choose, match your presentation to the species of fish that you are targeting.
Three factors affect the size of your swimbait: the size of the fishery, the amount of forage and the type fish you are targeting. If bass are very picky, you may need to reduce your size. A smaller swimbait is an option if the bite is not strong. And don't forget to consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
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. 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. 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.
A flat-sided crankbait can be a great choice when fishing in stained waters. This is because bass are highly sensitive and very sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations in their prey's lateral line. 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 are more likely to sink than others and some lures 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 comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. This product has been in the market for years, and it is very popular among 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.
