You will be spoilt for choice when you visit your local Fishing store trying to choose which Bass Fishing lures you are going to buy. The selection in most of these stores can be overwhelming to the uninitiated. They come in every color, shape, and variation. Each water condition has its own specific type of lure, including lures for murky water or clearwater, and others for post-spawn or pre-spawn. You could spend hours trying to decide which bass fishing lure is going to be correct for your particular trip, and even more time can be wasted by the side of the river bank or in the “hired by the hour” boat, floating in the middle of a lake, trying to figure out which of the many purchases is going to be the best.
You need a bit of inside knowledge, the low-down on which fishing lures for bass are the real favourites for experienced bass fishermen. First of all, you need to know a little bit about what makes the bass tick. He is a voracious feeder, eating anything that moves so long as he can fit it into his big mouth. It is with this in mind that your choice of lures will be made.
So, what is the best bass fishing lure? The first one I would recommend is a crankbait lure called a rattletrap lure. This lure, like all crankbaits, mimics the action of a small fish as it swims. It gets its name from the rattling noise it makes as it is quickly retrieved. It was invented in the 1960’s. It is one of the most widely used and most popular hardbait. Another is the spinnerbait which is a very versatile lure. It consists of metal blades which are shaped in such a way that they spin like a propeller as the lure is drawn through the water. It actually mimics a small fish, creating sparkles and vibrations as it is quickly drawn in.
The largemouth bass is probably one of the preferred fish to catch. This is because of its general large size and acrobatic fight that this fish will put on to try and escape the hook. Largemouth bass fishing lures come in a wide variety of types, colors, patterns, and sizes. If you are fishing mid water you will need something like a spinner bait, a crank bait, or a minnow bait. Sometimes wet flies are used for great results.
