Best Lures For Big Bass

Looking to catch big bass this fishing season, here are few lures that have worked with other professional anglers that might work for you as well...

Live baitfish

 Baitfish live in schools and have a reputation for being the best lures for catching bigger fish. Baitfish look different than prey fish but they are the same species. That means that the anatomy in their mouth is similar. Live baitfish are most commonly used in saltwater fishing and they are known for attracting larger game fish.

Artificial baits

 Artificial baits are designed to mimic natural foods for certain types of fish. Artificial lures are great for catching largemouth bass, bluegill, striped bass, crappie, catfish, and many others. These lures are often bright colors and shaped differently than normal lures.

Stimulation devices

 Stimulation devices are electronic gadgets that send out signals to attract fish. They can be attached to rods, reels, and jigs to help catch even the biggest fish. There are many varieties of stimulation device available today and each one works slightly differently.

Fish hooks

 Fish hooks are tools used to hook fish. You tie them onto some type of line and throw them into the water where the fish swim around. When a fish takes notice of the hook, he or she swallows it whole and gets caught on the line.  

Fishing nets

 Fishing nets are long pieces of plastic that hang down into the water. People place these on the bottom of ponds, lakes, rivers, or creeks for fish to swim right into. The net is held open at the top so that fish can enter but once inside they get tangled up. Most fishermen use a net that is 2 to 4 feet wide and about 10 to 20 feet deep. A small hole is cut in the middle of the net and the fisherman can easily view the fish swimming around.

Lure sticks

 Lure sticks are used to attach lures to fishing poles. They hold the lures in place while the pole is in motion. Lure sticks work best with spinning-type reels.

Jigging rigs

 Jigs are tools that attach to the end of a rod. Spinning reels actuate a set of weights beneath the surface of the water. The action creates waves that create ripples on the surface of the water and attract fish. A jig holds a weight that generates a similar effect. Jigs tend to be longer and heavier than spinner reels, making them ideal for targeting deeper depths.
