16.Tools Of The Trade: Tackle, Boats, Accessories, Lures And Baits 9-Bass Fishing

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.
