Choosing Lures Or Baits For Bass Fishing

CHOOSE YOUR BAIT, OR LURE WISELY

After you find a spot for freshwater fishing that has cover, you should take a look at the water conditions. Pay attention to any baitfish and forage you see. If you see schools of shad near a boat dock, or crayfish crawling along bottom, this will give you valuable clues about what bait is best for bass.

Try to find a lure or bait that is similar to the prey the bass will likely eat in the area where you fish.

• Crankbaits and spoons can be made to mimic shad, shiners or other types. A rattling crankbait can create vibrations in the water and is a great tip for catching bass in muddy or cloudy water. Bass can sense vibrations in low water visibility and may respond to rattling lures. You might get more strikes if you use your lateral line.
• Soft plastic frogs, crayfish, and lizards can be used as bait to imitate these prey species. These types of soft plastic baits can often be rigged so that they are weedless, which makes it easier for to fish around vegetation.

There are many artificial lures and baits that you can use. However, natural baits are usually the best choice if you're fishing with children or beginners.
