If you're a first timer to bass fishing, you probably don't know much about the different types of baits available. Many people know about Shad Raps as well as Hair jigs. But there are more options. This article will explain the differences between each type of bait, and give an overview. If you are familiar with these baits, skip to the next part.
Shad Rap
Rapala Shad Rap, a crankbait of top quality that is designed to imitate baitfish, is the best. This bait is great for saltwater and freshwater bass fishing thanks to its realistic patterns and natural swimming action. This bait is made of premium Balsa wood and available in several proven colors. Each model has stainless steel through wire hooks. These hooks are very effective in catching fish. It's unique shape makes it easy to cast and catch larger fish.
Hair jigs
Hair jigs can be used as bass baits in a similar way to other types of jigs. Initially, you'll want to bomb the hair jig out. Once it's down to the bottom, you'll want to slowly hop it up and down and occasionally do a high hop. This will give bass time to swim over the bait before triggering a reaction bite. When fishing in colder water, it is important to be patient and avoid making sudden jumps which could cause a reaction bite.
Jerkbaits
Despite their name, jerkbaits aren't just for warm months. They are also effective year-round. They work best in cool waters, however. Fishmasters has a wide range of jerkbaits available that can be used in colder waters. These baits should be used slowly and at different depths to achieve the best results. Listed below are some tips to help you use jerkbaits effectively.
Spinnerbaits
There are many benefits of using spinnerbaits as bass baits. When fished, these baits create an unusual vibration. Blade design allows anglers to alter the speed and depth of the bait. The action patterns of different blade styles and colors will have an impact on the perception of the bait by fish. Some types of spinnerbaits are designed to be fished near the bank, while others work best in murky or stained water.
Hollow-body Frogs
The unique design of hollow-body frogs makes them excellent baits for bass fishing. They are both on the water and in vegetation. This allows them to be paused at certain times and can then be pulled through the shoreline grass. They will be attracted to the extra motion and keep them hooked. But the question is how to use them to catch bass? You can use hollow-body fowls as bass baits.
Jigging spoons
Knowing what type of bass you prefer to catch is key to using jigging sticks as baits. This lure is also effective in cooler weather and when bass are under water cover. However, spoons are most effective during the fall when bass start to school. These predators eat a large amount of baitfish during this time. You need to slow down the presentation of the bait in order for them to get into a feeding frenzy.
