Bass Fishing Lures
Bass fishing lures?
Can someone explain the different types of bass lures for me? Like crankbait, spinnerbait, etc. Whats the diffrence and what is each type better for?
Each hardbait you can buy down at the sporting goods store is designed to attract fish one way or another. The usefulness in having many different kinds is that you can match your technique to the location of the fish. It’s not that bass don’t bite on such-and-such bait at all, it’s usually that the fish are at a certain depth in the lake and you are required to fish that depth, if you want to catch them. For starters, get a basic tackle box set up, with examples of each category of artificial bait available for you to pick from when you are fishing.
For bass, it’s never a bad idea to have some soft body Culprit worms around. There are other brands, and I’m sure that some are good, but I’ve always used Culprit and been satisfied. If you are fishing in water with lots of snags, you can opt for “snagless” worms that rig up with the hook concealed in a little pocket, so that it won’t set on anything until a fish tugs at the worm. This is always helpful, because bass prefer structure and cover, and you will snag up a lot while bass fishing in the best spots.
One of my all-time favorite go-to lures for bass has always been a good Hula Popper. It’s a topwater lure with a skirt on one end, and a wide concave face. The motion created by it’s shape attracts bass fairly well, and it is a very common artificial bait. Even if you decide not to include one of these in your tackle box, you should get yourself one or two topwater lures for when the fish are striking near the surface.
Midwater hard body baits are some of my favorite to catch bass on. It’s a good idea to have many different midwater lures onhand, so that you can match your lure to the water conditions. In clear water, you can use lures that are camoflauged or colored naturally. If the water is muddy, though, or if it is too overcast, you will need to switch to a more brightly-colored lure. Get a good smattering of all sorts of midwater lures in lots of different sizes and colors, and you will have a good chance of dropping exactly what the fish want on any given day.
Also not a bad idea for your tackle box are spinners and spoons. I keep half a dozen spoons in my tackle because they are very versatile and can be jigged, trolled, or fished as a normal midwater lure. These can come in a variety of different profiles, but the only two factors that I ever really bother with considering are size and texture. You will be able to find many different textures, ranging from smooth to hammered metal, and each one has different reflective behaviors. Spinners are fit with a special “propeller” near the front of the lure that chops through the water during a retrieve, spinning and reflecting light as well as causing some disturbance in the surrounding water. I carry a light and a dark spinner, but you can certainly find a huge variety of colors and designs on these too.
Rapalla makes some good bass lures, and you can pick from an absolute arsenal of their gear at most sporting goods stores. There are many bass lures with strange gimmicks that claim to drive fish nuts – and some of them work – but for my purposes I usually find money better spent on basic tackle. You may not want to shell out five or six bucks apiece for twenty different Rapalla lures to start with, so of course there is always the off-brand. I’d say that about half of my tackle box is big brand name gear, and half is cheap generic tossers. After all, you WILL be losing a few of these, so don’t break the bank gearing up.
