Bass Lures: Baits that'll work anytime, anywhere
This selection was the most difficult to make because the right lure for bass at any given time depends not just on what the bass like but where they are. Deep or shallow? Weedy cover or open water? Darkly stained shallows in Florida or the crystal depths of a Nevada reservoir?
So I picked a little of everything to make a small collection that will work absolutely anywhere largemouth bass are found. I still had to compromise, though. I might normally carry a dozen types of plastic worms in as many colors, each best suited to a slightly different tactic. Here I chose only one, adaptable to specific situations by altering fishing method or by physically trimming the lure. Necessity is the mother of bass fishing invention.
