Using The Correct Bass Fishing Lures
Your surroundings can determine which bass fishing lures, you will use. Just as in any sport, the situation can vary from one circumstance to another. A golfer will use a specific club for the situation he finds himself in. A tennis player will use a specific racket for playing on grass.
You could put a worm on a hook, and catch some fish, or you could learn which bass fishing lures work best for different locations, different times of day, and 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.
Paint a design or dots on your fishing lures to make them more natural looking in the water.
Check out the color of the water and use a bass fishing lure that matches the darkness or lightness of it. This will help make your lures look like a real insect. Use Perl or light-colored lures in clear water. When fishing in muddy waters use a dark-colored lure, this will help to blend in to the surroundings making the lure look more real.
Your lures are made to imitate an insect or bug so study the natural movement of those bugs for more success. Live insects don’t just sit on the water, they jump and wiggle, they fly into and off the surface. This action makes them very attractive to a hungry bass.
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 to make a bass fishing lure look real is just as important as using the correct lure.
You need to be able to cast any distance necessary to put the lure in front of the bass while making it look like a tasty morsel so they will strike. Placing your cast successfully is important in bass fishing.
