Great Lures for Bass
What sets great bass fisherman apart from the rest of us? Quite a lot actually, including casting ability, the ability to read water to see where fish are hiding, and the ability to choose the best lures. There’s not much you can do about the first two advantages other than take some time to practice, but you can use the same lures many of the pros use starting today. While there are no “lures to end all lures,” there are several lures that perform much better than their other counterparts because they more accurately depict the prey that bass are used to feeding on. One of the best bass fishing tips that you can ever learn is to calibrate for each situation and adjust your tactics accordingly. That being said, here’s three of the best bass fishing lures.
One really great lure to use is a shad imitation lure. Shad are one of the biggest sources of food for many bass and thus a lure shaped like them will attract a lot of strikes because it is what the bass are used to eating. As with any lure, try to find the most lifelike one possible. When you cast it, try jerking your rod a little bit and varying your retrieve speed so that the lure imitates a wounded fish, enticing more strikes.
Another great lure to use is a sinking minnow. Sinking minnows are incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of situations. Some of these even include scents that attract the bass, making them twice as deadly. Finally, jitterbugs are another lure that will get strikes from monster bass. Jitterbugs are top fishing lures that work the best on calm, clear mornings. Lakes are a great candidate for these lures because the waters are especially calm and clear in most of them and this allows the fish to see the bait from way down on the bottom and come up and put on a great strike.
Now that you’ve read this, there’s no excuse for you to be sitting inside anymore. Grab your rod, your reel, and your portable fishing chair and head down to your local tackle shop and then hit the river!
