Bait or lure...
2007-10-24 17:11:09 · update #1
I would have to a say 1/2 oz spinner bait with with double willow blades and a white/chartreuse skirt is the most versatile and productive artificial of the lures to use on Largemouth as well, as smallmouth certain times of the year, Berkley works well for me too, I use the 7" power worm alot during the spring and berkley also has a good line of tube baits that work great for skipping underneath docks. I would also learn how to fish a Carolina rig and a dropshot, I dont know how many time I have been saved by a Carolina rig in tournaments, it is an old method but can produce some monsters. To really get alot of info on bass fishing join B.A.S.S. they have probably the best magazine on bass fishing tips and techniques; as well as a wealth of informational videos on the web and even a blog for any fishing related question could have.

#1 Bait for Bass- A tie between a Shiner or a Crawdad.
#1 lure- In my opinion, any soft plastic worm, lizard, "dead-stik"/slug-o, type lure.
I love Berkley products, but others may not have as much luck with them.
I have been fishing for 35 years and I think Berkley "Gulp" is probably as good as "live" bait.
Do realize, to be a successful Bass-fisherman you need more than just soft-plastic's in your tackle box.
You need a variety of:
1. Spinnerbaits
2. Soft Plastic
3. Jigs
4. Rapala-type floating/diving minnow's
5. Crankbaits
6. Topwater
If you are new to bass-fishing start with soft plastics, spinnerbaits, & Rapala-type lures.
Hope this helps ya? Good luck!

i have been bass fishing for 35 yrs,and i have tried every thing they have put on the market,now the two lures that work any where that there is bass is rat-l-trap or a white spinner bait.when you pick out your rat-l-trap look for the ones that are colored up like a fish.there are several different ones.just make sure it's a rat-l-trap.now live bait will work real good right now,use large shiners or shad.and another good live bait is gold fish.if you can find them,bait stores in my area sell gold fish.they cost a little more but worth it.good luck.and long live the bass fisherman!

If I had the secret lure for "Which one is best?", I would be fishing for a living and not just weekend tournaments.
There are a miriad of varibles (season, water color, temp, etc...), and most have been mentioned.
I always have spinnerbaits, crank baits (Rapala), jigs, and tons of plastic Zoom, or Reaction Innovation Flirt 6.95 worms on board.
The "worms" are always performers, as bass "imprint" many baits and learn the hard way to never bite it again.
Check out Landbigfish.com and Tackle Warehouse, as they have many lures and results for most popular colors.
Can't forget my favorite baits...BOOYAH baits!

More bass have been caught on the lowly plastic worm than any other lure. Berkley makes good plastic worms.
For most anything you would like to learn about bass behaviour and fishing take a look at http://www.bassresource.com/fish/bass_fish.html
articles for beginner to bass tourney pro fishing, boating, ...you name it.

Rapalas, Rapalas, and Rapalas.
Floating size 11 in the Silver & black, or Black & gold, or perch colors.
Also the Huskey jerk, size 12 in the Silver & blue or the Black & gold colors.
I've used worms and spinners but nothing is as consistant at catching largemouth bass as a Rapala.

Lot's of baits and lures are used, it depends on many circumstances (time of year, water temp. water clarity, ect)
I have a lot of luck with plastics, but they will hit spinners, topwaters, and crankbaits too.
Can't go wrong with live baits such a minnows, night crawlers, and Crayfish either.

for artifical lures your best bet is to go with the following:
Senko style baits in Grn. pumpkin, watermelon red flake, and baby bass
spinnerbaits natural colors like shad
crankbaits shad colors grawdad colors
jigs different weights bet bet is to go with as light as you can get away with colors black blue, Gr pumpkin, black red, and pb&j.
good luck and tight lines

Good old fashion nightcrawler. Get the big ones and use the whole worm. Messy, but the fish love it!
