5 Lures for Bass Fishing

There are many different types of lures out there for bass fishing but there are only 5 that are crucial and essential to catching them.

1- Plastic Worms
     * Texas Rigged - most simple rig setup there is with a plastic worm, wide gap hook, and a bullet weight
     * Carolina Rigged - more tricky setup with worm, wide gap hook, weight, swivel, leader line, and bead

Both of these worm setups are deadly and very effective in catching bass any time of the year on any body of water where there are bass.

2 - Spinnerbait
Great for catching bass in deep cover or around areas where bass like to hide out. Again, great for any type of water and just about any time of the year

3- Hard Jerkbaits

4 - Topwater Plugs
I like to personally use these either early in the morning or late evening when the water temp has cooled down and the fish are located closer to the surface and in more shallow waters.

5- Crankbait

Crankbait has bills on the front that either let them dive really deep or not so deep in the water where bass hide out. They are very effective on catching bass that are in deeper water. The more you reel, the deeper they dive.
