You probably don't know much about different baits if you are a beginner to bass fishing. There are many other options than Hair jigs and Shad Raps. This article will explain the differences between each type of bait, and give an overview. However, if you're already familiar with these baits, you can skip ahead to the next section.
Shad Rap
The Rapala Shad Rap is a top-quality crankbait designed to mimic baitfish. 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. The stainless steel through-wire hooks are effective at catching fish. The unique shape of the hook allows it to cast far and can be used to catch larger fish.
Hair jigs
Hair jigs can be used as bass baits in a similar way to other types of jigs. First, blast the hair-jig out. Once you get it to the bottom, slow hop it up/down and occasionally do a fast high hop. This will give bass time to swim over the bait before triggering a reaction bite. If you are fishing in colder areas, take your time. You don't want to make sudden jumps or trigger a reaction.
Jerkbaits
Jerkbaits have a wide range of uses, and are not limited to warm months. They are also effective year-round. Jeerbaits are best used in cooler waters. Fishmasters sells several types of jerkbaits that are perfect for fishing in chilly waters. You can get the best results by slowing down and using different depths of these baits. Here are some tips for using jerkbaits efficiently.
Spinnerbaits
Spinnerbaits are a great choice for bass baits. Spinnerbaits produce a unique vibration when they are fished. The blade design gives the angler the ability to adjust the speed of the bait or its depth. Different blade designs and colors will result in different action patterns that will impact the fish's perception of your bait. Some spinnerbaits should be fished near a bank, while some work best in murky and stained water.
Hollow-body and pond frogs
They are excellent baits for bass fishing because of their unique hollow-body design. They sit on the water and on vegetation, which means they are paused at key times and can be retrieved through the shoreline grass. They will be attracted to the extra motion and keep them hooked. The question is, how do you use them to catch bass? Find out how to use hollow-body and frogs to catch bass.
Jigging spoons
It is important to know the preferences of bass when using jigging bowls as baits. This lure can also be used in winter when the bass are hiding under aquatic cover. Spoons are more effective in fall when school starts for bass. These predators eat a large amount of baitfish during this time. To trigger reactions strikes and feeding strikes, slow down how you present the bait.
