When Bass Fishing You Need The Best Lures

By Chris Douglas

If you are bitten by the bass fishing bug, and want to increase your working knowledge of the sport, then the Internet is the place for you. Not only are there thousands of sites filled with interesting stories, information on bass fishing and the best lures to use, what equipment you should have, boats; there are also many sites on where to go to find the biggest bass, how to outsmart them, and how to plan a successful fishing trip. Take a few minutes and check some of these sites out.

Whenever you are bass fishing, the best lures are the ones that are just right for the certain fishing situation you are in at the time----are you working mainly surface waters and needing something like spinner baits or top water lures; or if you are fishing in deeper waters, then you'll need crank baits that work in any water depth, or pigskin jigs for the deep dark waters.

Bass know what they like and do not hesitate to go after it when they sense it; and luckily, after years of evolution, fishermen know what bass like as well----the smart fishermen that are bass fishing today have the best lures for the occasion and give the bass what they like and use it to the fisherman's best advantage. Getting a large bass to move from his hiding place deep in the rock crevices can be a real chore, but if you are using lures that use vibration as their modus operandi, like precision-tuned lipless crank baits----the bass sense the vibrations in the water and zoom!----out they come----straight for your lure.

Color is a very important factor when you are bass fishing and want the best lures for the day or area you will be fishing. Bass cannot resist the appealing mix of colors and the action combined in the pigskin jigs and they will leave the safety of dense cover to come after them. If the weather is overcast and the day is dark, then use dark colors in your lures; conversely, a bright day would call for light colors for the most effect.

There are hundreds of types of lures out there on the market today, and a little research is needed if you are to become somewhat of an expert in bass fishing and know the best lures to use. People just learning the ropes are usually steered toward crank baits because they are easy to use and very effective because they resemble bait fish or crawfish. Spinner baits come in a variety of colors, resemble bait fish, and are used to capture bigger bass. Vibration lures are the tail spinners and crank baits among the many out there; a buck tail jig looks like a small food fish, and pigskin jigs are preferred for bottom fishing and look much like a crawfish.

Remember to take into consideration what the water conditions will be when you are bass fishing and want to have the best lures for the area you where you will be fishing. You will need to consider if the area you are in is a good spot for small mouth bass, or large mouth, or if you will be seeing spotted bass. The lures vary accordingly before you have even looked at the water depth, motion of the water, and the weather around you. All these factors are important in choosing the most effective lures for the day.

Bass fishing is a thrill for those participating because you have the beauty of the wild around you, the excitement of possibly hooking a trophy sized fish, and the ultimate heart pounding fun of the hooked fish fighting literally for its life on the end of your line making you use all the fishing skills you possess to capture that fish. As far as bass fishing is concerned the sky's the limit when you have the best lures you can find, combined with the thrill of the sport----there's not much that can beat it. - 2368
