To start of, try to know the lures that you must have to enjoy bass fishing.



Do you know what the top 3 lures for catching Bass are? Although there was no specific gauge that was presented by the researchers, a survey was performed among the pro bass fishermen and it was determined that plastic worms was the most patronized and ranking on the second and third place were the spinner bait and then the crank bait.

But, picking one of these 3 is not enough. More factors are still needed to be taken into consideration. Primarily, you must consider if it is better to cover a smaller segment of water thoroughly or skim across a bigger area as quickly as possible to find fish. Making use of worms is slower, but certainly very effective and is very seductive to Bass. They do best when the fish are schooled over a particular structure.

The constraint that usually arise with fishing with a worm is the inability to sense strikes. Usually the inability to sense them is due to a sinker that is too heavy and a line that is too thick.

To help you to overcome this constraint you are advised to make use of a variable buoyancy worm using lead strip sinkers. Here listed are some of its advantages:

1)No moving lead on the line to dampen the feel of a gentle pickup

2)You can apply the precise amount of lead to deliver the worm action needed

3)It makes it easier for a bass to inhale the worm

4)It aids in hook setting

5)It is easier to shake loose from snags

6)You can cause the worm to hang virtually suspended over the bottom when fishing shallow water.

To tell how much lead strip is required, wrap one strip around the hook and bury the barb in the worm. Ease it into the water and watch as it sink, it should barely settle toward the bottom. If it sinks fast, take some off, etc. Make it sure to use no heavier than 8-pound mono line - preferably 6 pound.

On the other hand, a spinner bait can be moved more quickly across the surface and can be bounced on the bottom, sent against a tree limb and moved in several ways in order to stimulate strikes. It is a great probing lure for the shoreline because of its tangle-free design.
