what is the best bait for catching bass?

Answer 1

It would have to be either the senko or the crankbait. I have had so many more big bass on these two lures than all the others put together

Answer 2

It all depends on your location, but it's always good to have several options. A plastic worm has always been my lure of choice. Bass usually hang out in either rocky or weedy areas and most plastic worms are weedless, thus making them a good choice in weedy areas. Put a sinker about 6 inches above the worm. Cast it out and let it sink to the bottom, give it a light tug, reel in the slack, and then let it sink back to the bottom. The fish will most likely strike while the worm is sinking.

For the rocky areas, I would use some type of rapalla. When using rapallas or any other lure besides a worm, tie a swivel on the end of your line. That way you can change lures fast and easily. Most likely you would need a shallow diver because bass typically stay close to shore. My personal favorite is a sparkle tail, but you have to be careful not to real too fast otherwise it will go too deep.

You could also try a spoon or a spinner. They're cheap and good for rivers.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

The most widely used bait for bass is the spinner bait. there are a variety of colors. and they are made so it is hard to snag them up. Or if you are fishing more out in the open try using a spoon. (this is a metal lure shaped like the end of a spoon, with a treble hook on the end.) I have had the best luck with the blue and chrome.

Answer 4

Use a carolina rig or texas rig with a rubber malicious application, crayfish, or lizzard. or you are able to seize larger bass with a Rapala broken minnow. there is all forms of lures to apply in a small pond. Even spinner baits are sometimes helpful and you are able to conceal somewhat some water in a short quantity of time. in basic terms attempt somewhat some lures till you discover what they prefer. have exciting! for my section there is not something greater exciting than landing huge bass in a small pond!

Answer 5

oh oh , i actually know the answer to this question, well, only if you are talking about large mouth, then the answer is Berkly Power Bait Worms(red shad color) this is an excellent rubber bait. To use this you must cast out (assuming you are from shore) then let it sink for about 8 seconds then raise tip of pole reel in the slack and let it sink again. continue this procedure until fully reeled in. (works best along a sunken tree or lilly pads) this is a great way of fishing from a boat but also good from shore. Catch a big one for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
