I like live bait. Worms and minnows work good. Hotdogs are good too.

What I have done before has been very successful. I just use any color of tube and any color of jig and rig the jig with the tube and tip it with a worm or a small minnow. good luck!!!!!

In the spring, when the bass are spawning, catch a little bluegill and use it as bait. Put a treble hook in its lower back before the end of the fin. Throw it out in the water. The splashing of the the little fish will attract the bass. I caught a 22 inch bass doing this.

When fishing in deep water, use a dark and slow lure.

In the summertime, use a Senko worm (4 inches). I have caught many bass on this bait. I prefer to match the color of the water and weeds. Bass love this bait. Happy fishing everyone.

To choose what lure you want to use check the water temperature, weather, water and water clarity. When the water is above 60 degrees, sunny and the water is clear; use a spinnerbait. If the weather conditions are any other than these; use a crank bait. Don't forget that you can use a crankbait at anytime.

The best time to use a buzz bait is in the morning at sunrise. Also use spinner bait in the morning, I suggest the color white.

If you are fishing on rainy days and the water is murky you would think that fish wouldn't bite. Well you're wrong, when the water is muddy don't fish in shallow water, always fish in deeper water up to 8-12 feet of water. Also fish with bright colored lures, such as yellow, white, red or blue.

The first is called a Zara Spook. The shape of this bait looks like a cigar and just floats in the water. The individual will have to throw it in and pull it back toward the boat and hopefully catch a bass along the way.

The next bait is called a Senko. A lot of Japanese use this to catch fish and works very well near old trees that have fallen into the water where most of these creatures live. When the person feels a bite, it is time to bring it in back to the boat.

The Floating Worm just like the real one always does the job in the water. These are usually made of plastic, which are 6 to almost 11 inches long. All the individual has to do is dip it into the water then just wait for a bass to bite on it.

Resembling the actions of another fish is something the Superfluke does best. This is because it resembles a minnow, which is one of the species that bass love to eat.

Another bait is called the torpedo. This variation got the name because it has a silver propeller at the end. Once it hits the water, the props will begin to move creating vibrations in the water for the bass to home in on until the person gets a bite.

The Buzz Bait works just like the Zara Spook. It doesn’t have anything fancy but just floats there on the surface until the bass comes in which just proves that this thing works.

The next is called Stick Bait, which is also hard piece of plastic floating on the surface. The person will have to give it a tug once in awhile to get the attention of Bass swimming nearby to be able to catch some and bring it on board the boat.

Pop-R is also interesting to use a bass fishing bait. It also causes disturbance in the water when it is pulled so it is just a matter of time before the hunted are captured and brought home for supper.

The Tournament Frog is great to use as bait in lily pads and murky waters. The bass won’t be able to tell that it is something a fishermen will use to catch it until it is too late.

from rudyglove27 wrote 2 years 44 weeks ago

The last bait that can be recommended is the Spinner Bait. Though it works just like the Torpedo, those who use it well will be able to catch a lot of fish by letting it rest on the surface rather than in the water.

I use spinners, rapalas, worms and whatever you think a bass would be likely to eat. there are so many baits you just got to find a bait that works for you and fish it however you want.

I agree 100% with huntingkid95. While there are hundreds of different bass lures out there, the plastic worm is a "classic" for a reason: it catches fish in any conditions.
