Bass Fishing Lures
from: Rob LoreIn most parts of the United States bass fishing is one of the most popular summer sporting activities. Both amateurs and professionals compete in derbies and tournaments as well as just enjoying bass fishing on weekends or daily trips to a favorite lake. Bass fishing is both a strategic sporting activity as well as an art. Choosing the correct bass fishing lures to use based on fish behavior, seasonal movements, water conditions and temperature is critical for success.
Bass fishing lures may also include worms, live bait and trolling baits. Typically the baits will be bright colored for fishing in the deeper waters and bright conditions and more naturally colored for fishing in the shallower waters and cloudier waters closer to shore.
There are various types of bass including small and large mouth bass, stripped and spotted bass, as well as peacock and white bass, and each is fished using different types and sizes of bass fishing lures. There are several types of bass fishing lures that are commonly used in any area that bass exist. The most common bass fishing lures include:
Crankbaits Bass Fishing Lures
Crankbaits bass fishing lures can be used at any depth of water including very close to the top, mid level and deep. Crankbaits bass fishing lures can have a lip or may be lipless, depending on the depth and the action that is required.
Crankbaits bass fishing lures typically are shaped like very thick minnows. Crankbaits bass fishing lures attraction to the bass occurs because the of the movement through the water when the crankbaits bass fishing lures are brought back or "cranked."
Swimbaits Bass Fishing Lures
Swimbaits bass fishing lures are very streamlined and sectioned throughout the body to provide an almost exact duplication of the swimming movement of a minnow. Swimbaits bass fishing lures are usually colored like the bait fish in the area, so for most bass fishing the shad colors are most popular. There can be one single hook, a treble hook or a series of hooks on the swimbaits bass fishing lures.
Jerkbaits Bass Fishing Lures
Jerkbaits bass fishing lures are minnow shaped, but typically heavier than swimbaits bass fishing lures. Jerkbaits bass fishing lures are not designed to have a smooth retrieval like the other baits. Jerkbaits bass fishing lures are designed to have irregular movement and action as an injured bait fish would have when moving through the water.
Topwater Baits Bass Fishing Lures
Topwater baits bass fishing lures are used on the surface of the water. Topwater baits bass fishing lures are moved across the waters surface to attract the bass that are feeding just below the surface. Topwater baits bass fishing lures may be rattlebaits or buzz baits that actually use the movement through the water to create a sound or vibration, or topwater baits bass fishing lures may have propellers to make a splashing sound cutting through the surface of the water.
