lure for serious fisherman. People who fish for leisure are those who fish because it’s their
hobby, they use Specific Bass Lures that will help them make it
easier to catch more fish.

Surface, Top-water and or Buzz baits: Acting almost like a spinner bait, but with a flat blade
that enables it to surface with speed, this is a popular choice for many a bass enthusiast. It attracts the
attention of the bass, by creating a disturbance along the surface like a minnow, triggering their basic
feeding instincts and hunter impulse to strike. Rewarding you with a handsome catch!

Carolina Rig: this can easily be described as simply a variation of the
standard, so-called ‘Texas Rig’ (see below), great for use with plastic worms or other soft bait. Most
expert bass anglers suggest using a heavier weight like 1/2 -1oz or more. Slide the weight onto the line, follow
with three plastic beads, a barrel swivel, and a leader line (somewhat smaller than the main line).What this allows
the bass angler to do is to get the bait to ‘drop down’ to the floor with speed and is especially recommended for
fishing deep waters. The movement of the leader allows the bait to swim and rise above the bottom, and fall slowly
down. For most beginners this is easy to do and practice and is very versatile to get your routine rigging and
tackle skills to improve.
Crank bait: mostly refers to lures, which is usually made from a variety
of materials, including hard plastic or wood. With an added feature of a diving lip on the front (simulating
effectively the movements of natural prey, wobbling, diving and swimming actions), entices the bass to strike. The
rule of thumb, normally is that the larger the lip, the deeper it can dive. Enhancements like rattles are also good
for certain conditions.
Jerk baits: A seasoned favorite amongst bass anglers, for top-water, as well as
suspended bass fishing. longer minnow-shaped plugs, available in lots of different sizes and colors. As a
surface, top-water bait with a slight twitch-and-stop type of retrieve, or even as a more slow-and-steady
retrieves underwater. Another option is to use suspending jerk baits that typically dive deeper, jerking it, almost
teasing and tempting the bass to come up and bite right at it.
Jigs: Some have described these trusted tackle as ‘lead head and hook
with dressing’. Their ‘added’ features could take the shape of rubber or plastic skirts, soft plastic baits for
bodies, instead of skirts. Most bass experts combine them with a frog, or a plastic bait as a “follower’(plastic
worm, crawfish).
Lipless Crank bait: mostly referring to sinking-type lures, made from plastic,
sometimes with many rattles inside for noise, , vibrations and causing disturbances underwater.
Poppers: Top water lures that carry long-range punch. Retrieve with these kinds
of lures are fast, jerky or move in one spot for a duration of time. Can be quite effective if you trying to figure
out ‘where the fish are’.
Soft Jerk bait: these can be used to great effect in the same manner as a
regular jerk bait, but can be dropped to the bottom quite successfully as well to tease out our deep-water
predator, swimming around for food and feast.
Spinner baits: another simulator of movement and prey on the go. It is very
similar to a jig, but with a blade that runs above the hook, and spins to imitate a bass favorite as well:
fish.
Texas Rig: this is considered and named specifically for standard rigging with
a plastic worm. Use a sliding weight, usually bullet shaped, and a hook sufficient for the size worm you have
chosen. Sharpen the hook and stick the point of the hook directly into the worm head, bring it out the side about
1/8 - 3/16" below the entry, thread it again. Rotate the hook around so the point is facing the worm's body. Lay it
over the side to see where it should enter in order to hang straight. Position the work straight onto the hook if
it is hanging. NOTE: if the worm is twisted, your line and action will pay the price and it will be less
effective.
