Popular Bass Fishing Lures

Written by Rick Ross

The key to landing a ton of bass lies within the type of lure you are using. Many factors contribute to the type of bass fishing lure to use, whether it's a  morning or an evening fishing trip, the body of water and the water depth and more. In this article we will discuss the most popular bass fishing lures on the market and the best ways to use 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 great bass fishing lures and are easy to use, too. Using a rubber worm prevents the annoyance of working with live worms. If a supplemental weight is added to the bass fishing lure, it will cause the rubber worm to slowly sink to the bottom of the body of water. Simply, once it reaches the bottom, you can reel it in and then either re-cast or just let it sink again. Spinner baits have a large, spinning, metal fin that agitates the fish. This causes the fish to attack the lure. These bass fishing lures can be used anytime and are especially effective when the bass are spawning because during that time they are less interested in finding food. Crankbait is an interesting and effective bass fishing 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. Unlike crank lures, poppers are only used on top of the water. These bass fishing lures "pop" as they move across the body of water. They are most useful during the summer and work best when used with a slow action of the reel. Grubs have a soft body with a hook attached to a head of a jig. It is the perfect bass fishing lure to use when 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 fishing rod. Vibrating lures are made of plastic or metal that vibrates. They easily sink to the bottom of even deep waters. There are a wide range of bass fishing lures that can be considered vibrating lures, such as tail spinners. Tail spinners are metal baits that have a small spinning tail that lure the bass. These fishing lures are best used near tree stumps, watery beds of grass, logs, near deep water or near river currents.
