This article will explain the various types of artificial lures that bass fishermen use. Swimbaits will be covered as well as Flat-sided crankbaits (also known as flat-sided crankbaits), Rubber worms, Soft plastics, and soft plastics. These lures mimic the movements and movements of prey animals, making them ideal for bass fishing. To make use of these artificial lures, you must first learn how to properly 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 mimic the appearance of real life and are available with hundreds of configurations and colors. They can be used to catch fish by being rigged on hooks, jigheads or similar devices. But, they shouldn't be used only. You should consider the type of fish that you are targeting as well as the color of the soft plastics you use.
Soft plastic lures are easy to float on water. Some lures may bob slightly. The lures that bob resemble bass more. It can be hard to tell if a bass will bite a lure made of soft plastic depending on what type it is. Use a weighted lure if you want to rig the bait.
Swimbaits
There are many styles and characteristics to artificial swimbaits that bass fishermen can choose from. Some swimbaits are smaller, and come with no hooks, while others are more rigid with a hook. A swimbait’s action will depend on several factors like weight, rigging, size and hook type. If you're fishing for bass in clear water, line-thru swimbaits are ideal for the job.
Swimbaits are designed to look like baitfish and are best in areas where bass feed on the shad. In clear water, semi-translucent swimbaits will show up easily. Shiny paint and glitter can create scale effects. Several colors work well, from green pumpkin to black and white. 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.
The size of your fishery, forage size, and target fish all affect the size you need to make your swimbait. Some bass are picky and may require you to reduce the size. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. Also, don't forget the profile. Try spinning a rod to fish for smaller swimbaits.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing during the spring and fall, when the baitfish are 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 look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
A flat-sided crankbait is a great choice for fishing in stained waters, where bass are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations in the lateral lines of their prey. Also, they swim faster when stained water is present, which makes flat-sided crankbaits suitable for stained water. Be aware, however, that not all flat-sided crankbaits will be the same. 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. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. They are effective in attracting bass and other species, even though they might not be the most attractive lures for bass fishing.
Zoom Magnum II Worms are great for hooking larger hooks. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It has been available for years and is very popular with bass anglers. Its natural water colour makes it easier to hook a bass. It can be combined with aworm sinker to produce both a splash and a pause.

Statistics
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- 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)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
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 can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good 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 you get used to the motion. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
