Which Bass Fishing Lures Are the Most Effective?

August 29th, 2007 Posted in Bass Fishing Lures

Bass fishing continues to be an extremely popular sport. It is in fact so popular that it has produced several professional fishermen (and women) who take part in several tournaments, such as the Bass Masters Classic and many others. There are also many different amateur bass fishing tournaments which offer an interesting competitive twist on the sport. Of course, in order to be successful in bass fishing, you are going to need to actually catch some bass. While most folks are content with dangling a worm underneath a “bobber,” there is a much more proactive way of catching these freshwater predators. Such a way involves the employment of bass fishing lures. There is a enormous volume of different types of bass lures, but the most common (and effective) are as follows:

Crankbait bass fishing lures

Crank Baits

Crank baits are used as either top water or sinking lures and their primary purpose is to imitate a weak or injured fish. Additionally, these bass fishing lures make a cranking noise designed to attract the fish by sound. Reel crank baits slowly and skittishly or the illusion of injury will be blown.

Poppers

Poppers are similar to crank baits, but poppers are exclusively top water lures. They make a ‘popping’ sound as they move across the water and are designed for use during hot summer months when top water stimulation attracts bass. As with crank baits, popper bass fishing lures should be reeled in slowly.

Rubber Worms

Why go through all the trouble of struggling with real worms when rubber versions make excellent bass lures? The usage of the rubber lures is different than the live bait version. With the rubber lures, a ‘lead head’ is used to add weight for casting and the bass will usually hit the worm on its descent to the bottom of the lake. If it hits bottom without a strike, real it in towards the surface and let it drop again.

Spinning fishing lures

Spinner Baits

Spinner baits such as Hildebrant Guide Master spinner baits are odd looking lures that have an oversized metal spinning attachment connected to them. The purpose of these bass fishing lures is to attract a fish through antagonism as opposed to hunger. They work well all year, but they can be employed during the spawning season when the bass are not in an eating mood. While there are certainly more bass fishing lures available, the ones mentioned above are the most popular, due to the fact that they work. Taking this into consideration, these lures should be all that a person would need.

    I am very interested in the different types of lures although the plastic worm is my favorite. I have noticed that all the years of my Florida fishing that my style has to change up here in Virgina. You would think a Bass is a Bass but they are different in their aggresivness and general nature.

    There is no one lure that works best, but there are some lures more appropriate in certain situations and are dependant upon a number of external factors.
