Choosing The Right Bass Fishing Lure
By Rick Ross
If you want to become a successful fisherman, whether you fish for sport or fun, you must learn which bass lures are the most effective. These lures will vary depending on certain conditions. Most notably, whether it's a morning or an evening trip, the body of water and the water depth. Below we will discuss the most popular bass lures that are available and the best ways to utilize each lure.

Jigs are a heavier bait with a lead head and usually a single hook. They are very versatile because they are useful in cloudy AND clear water types and can be used during all times of the day. The jig is most effective when the water temp is less than 60 degrees.

Rubber worms are an easy alternative to lively worms, but some find them to be less effective. To most effectively use the rubber worm add a weight to the lure to cause the bait to sink to the bottom, then slowly reel the lure back in and repeat.

Spinner baits are designed with a large, spinning, metal fin that is designed to agitate the fish; thus, they attack the bait and a catch is made. These bass lures can be used anytime and are especially effective when the bass are spawning because at that time, they are less interested in finding food.

Crankbait is an interesting and effective bass lure. They imitate a weak or injured fish when slowly reeled in. They can sit on top of the water or you can let them sink. And, as the name

suggests, they create a cranking noise that bass find intriguing.

Poppers can be effective bass lures, but are not as versatile as others.They are only used on top of the water and they are most useful only during the summer. When you slowly reel these lures in, they create a popping action on top of the water.

Grubs are very attractive to bass. They have a soft body with a hook attached to a head of a jig. It is the perfect bass lure to use when there is insufficient cover in a highland body of water. They are also most useful in deep, clear bodies of water so that bass can see there color patterns.

Overly docile bass is a problem that can be solved with Tube Jigs. This bass-specific lure works best with a spinning reel on a medium or medium-light action rod.

Much as the name implies, vibrating lures are made of plastic or metal that vibrates. These lures are best used near tree stumps, watery beds of grass, logs, near deep water or near river currents.
