Most of the time, the most experienced fishermen prefer to use artificial lures in order to catch their Bass. There is such a wide variety of lures available, they come in all different shapes and sizes, colors and patterns. The basis behind Bass fishing lures, and indeed fishing lures for catching other breeds of fish, is that the lure will imitate the natural prey of the Bass. One point to make here, catching bass is not just about using the correct bass fishing lure, you also have to have good technique, without this you are wasting your time. Presentation and location are everything.
Bass Fishing lures are generally classified by the depth that they are used. For instance, lures that work best on top of the water include hair bugs and surface bugs. For top water, the best bass fishing lures are poppers and chuggers. These are used by working the lure across the top of the water, normally in shallow waters, where the Bass will attack with speed and sudden violence. Mid water lures are designed for suspended Bass. These mid water lures include spinner bates, spoons, and minnow plugs. Spoons at the most versatile of all the lures because they can be used at almost any depth and any retrieval speed. One of my favorites is the crank bait lure. You will probably catch more fish with this lure than any other.
One of the most popular fish to catch these days is the largemouth bass and a good supply of largemouth bass fishing lures will help you to increase your catch rate. Two of the best lures for this fish are buzz baits, surface plugs, and poppers for top fishing… that is fishing in water that is less than 5 feet in depth, around brush or weed beds. Largemouth bass will come out of nowhere to attack these lures, especially the buzz baits, which makes them great fun to use. The most productive of the crank baits is one called the rebel crawfish. You should bring plenty of these with you because they will get the job done. Jigging spoons, used primarily for bottom fishing, can also be dressed with some form of bait … a worm, some crab meat, a bit of pork etc. The technique here is to just barely bounce it along the bottom as you retrieve. Whatever lure you choose, keep your technique strong and you will catch plenty of bass.
