Which fishing lures catch more largemouth
bass?
It seems a lot of anglers are confused about which fishing lures are
the most effective for catching largemouth bass. Of course, live bait
is also effective under certain circumstances, but I want to focus on
artificial fishing lures in this article. Most largemouth bass
fishermen like to use one of the various options below.
Types of fishing lures for
largemouth bass
Top Water
Top water fishing lures include artificial minnows, frogs, and
buzzbaits. This type of lure is best used during times when the light
is least bright – cloudy days, early mornings, late evenings. Most
largemouth bass shy away from brightness, and this method will be most
effective in shallow, calm waters, with a slow retrieval action.
Crankbaits
Crankbaits are perhaps the easiest of fishing lures to use for
largemouth bass. The best approach is to use this kind of lure in
murky water conditions, near a lot of cover, and with a jerking stop
and go retrieve.
Spinnerbaits
Spinnerbaits come in a wide variety of styles and shapes, and they are
among the best fishing lures available for catching largemouth bass.
Try a spinnerbait with just one shiny blade and a fast reel retrieving
action in clear waters with active fish. Use a two-bladed model in
muddy water with a slower action to entice lethargic bass.
Plastic Worms
This is the mainstay of fishing lures for virtually all anglers. When
using a worm to lure largemouth bass, it’s best to use a smaller
black, dark red, or purple model in clear water. If the lake is
murky, try a larger, brightly colored bait, so the fish will spot it.
