The 10 Best Bass Fshing Baits Of All Time


This article will discuss ten of the best bass fishing baits of all time. Each has its own specific use and none of them are universally successful. That is the beauty of the sport of fishing you must always have the ability to adjust to the circumstances.

The plastic worm is perhaps the most commonly used bait, especially in the southern United States. It is not my first choice or even one of my top three choices but many have success using it. It is best fished very slow on the bottom of the lake and is best when the fish are in their in active phase.

Perhaps the most famous use of this bait is when you take the point of the hook and hook it through both the top and midsection of the worm, burying it inside the plastic. This is called a "Texas Rig" and it makes the worm weedless which allows you to fish it in even the heaviest of cover that might hold Largemouth Bass.

When fishing for actively feeding Largemouth Bass it is often a good idea to change from a plastic worm to a crankbait. Crankbait are lure made of wood or plastic that closelyresemble a small fish in terms of color and size.

They have a plastic lip near where the line is tied to them. The size and design of this lip determines how deep the bait will run when retrieved. Some are designed to be retrieved in the upper three feet of water while other bounce the bottom in water as deep as fifteen feet. All of them are designed to be retrieved rapidly, unlike the plastic worm which is retrieved slowly.

The spinner bait is in my opinion the most versatile and absolute best single bass bait. It is a combination of a spinner and jig. This lure is semi weedless and can be brought through many forms of weed and cover. It is so successful you will often catch fish as soon as the lure hits the water and begins its descent. It is a lure that will work for both active and inactive fish, you merely need to vary the retrieval method and change your approach.

The jig and pig is another artificial lure designed to catch bass that are inactive and in deep water. This lure consists of a jig head with a skirt made of hair or plastic strips. Attached to the hook is a pork rind, hence the name "jig and pig". It is fished slowly in deeper water for inactive fish.

The buzz bait is shaped much like a spinnerbait with less versatility. It is used when sound attractant is important. As name same suggests this lure creates a buzzing noise as it is swiftly retrieved along the surface of the water for actively feeding bass.

Top water plugs have been a staple of the bass fishing industry for years. They are best fished with at night when the water is quite calm. They are designed to resemble a frog or other surface swimming creature. It is perhaps the most thrilling way to catch a bass as you will often see the fish stalking your bait seconds before he actually takes it.
