Using The Correct Bass Fishing Lures
Written by Bryan Jakes on August 19th, 2008Circumstances determine when you will need to choose different bass fishing lures. Equipment needs vary in many sports. If the tennis player is playing on clay, grass, or cement they will use different kinds of rackets for each. The golfer will carry a bag full of clubs with him for every game. Each club has a different use depending on whether he is on the green, how far away from the hole he is, or knocking one back out of a sand trap.
Learn which bass fishing lures work best for each location, what works best at different times of the day and which one works best in different seasons.
Some bass fishing lures such as frogs work best if they are modified. Feather the legs on a frog and clip the skirt outside of where the hook is. This will give him a dragonfly silhouette. Make sure you use a 7 foot pole or longer with these lures.
For a much more natural look in the water, paint some dots or a design on any of your bass fishing lures.
Match your bass fishing lures to the color of the water you are fishing in. The lure will look more natural if you use a darker colored lure while fishing cloudy or muddy waters. Use light colored or pearl lures when fishing in clear water.
Learn to imitate the natural movement of the bug your lure appears to be, this will give you more success in your bass fishing. A bass will come more near eating a live insect that is jumping around than a dead one sitting on top of the water.
Learn to cast and retrieve your lures to make them look natural and lifelike. You can learn this art with a lot of patience and practice. You don’t have to be on the water to practice, you can practice in your backyard.
Continue to practice long distance casting this is more important than the trajectory of your cast. Also your retrieval is very important when using bass fishing lures.
Many pro fishermen prefer another type of bass fishing lure called swimbait. As they are pulled along these lures look like small minnows due to the fact that they have two sections to their bodies. Swimbait works real well early in the day when bass are just starting to feed.
Casting and retrieving is an important skill that will make the correct bass fishing lure look real.
You can have a successful bass fishing expedition if you can make that bait you put in front of them appear to be the bug they can’t resist.
