Soft plastics
A combination of glitter, sand and colored plastics is being used to bait bass. These lures, which are designed to imitate life, are available in hundreds if colors and configurations. To make fishing with them easier, they are rigged on hooks or jigheads. This doesn't mean that they should only be used.

Soft plastic lures are easy to float on water. Some lures may bob slightly. They appear more real to bass by having a bobbling action. It depends on the soft material you use, it might be difficult for bass to bite lures with bobbling actions. Be sure to remove any weight from a weighted sinker before you rig it.
Swimbaits
There are many kinds of artificial swimbaits to catch bass. Each one has its own characteristics. Some swimbaits come with no hooks while others have hooks. The action of a swimbait depends on many factors such as weight, rigging and hook size. If you're fishing for bass in clear water, line-thru swimbaits are ideal for the job.

A variety of colors can be used, including green pumpkin and black and even white. Chartreuse matches the skirt on a Chatterbait. Whatever type of swimbait your choose, match your presentation to the species of fish that you are targeting.
The size of your fishery, forage size, and target fish all affect the size you need to make your swimbait. If bass are very picky, you may need to reduce your size. However, if the bite is tough, you can try a smaller swimbait. You should also consider the profile. For smaller swimbaits, try fishing them with a spinning rod.
Flat-sided crankbaits
Flat-sided crankbaits are great for fishing during the spring and fall, when the baitfish are 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. Flat-sided crankbaits look and feel more natural than those with round bodies.
Flat-sided crankbaits work well in stained water as they are highly sensitive to vibrations. Bass can sense vibrations in the lateral lines of their prey. Flat-sided crankbaits are ideal for stained water because they can swim faster in it. 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. A rubber worm rig has several variations depending on the fishing conditions. The most popular are the Carolina Rig and Texas Rig. Although they might not be the most popular bass fishing lures, these lures are very effective at attracting other species as well.
Zoom Magnum II Worms can be used to hook larger hooks. It comes in green pumpkin and is 9 inches long. It has been popular with bass anglers for many years. 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.

How do you clean your fishing gear?
