When it comes to largemouth bass fishing the choices, when it comes to fishing lures, is almost endless, but in this article I'm going to outline and discuss some of the choices that we have available. Are these the only choices? Of course not, but they are some of the more popular, and more importantly effective choices that are available. If you don't currently have any of these largemouth bass lures in your tackle box, I suggest you add them to your repertoire.
At the end of the day, determining the best fishing lure for largemouth bass isn't possible. Different lures work better in different fishing situations, but this quick article will teach you how some of the most effective bass lures on the market perform in some common bass fishing situations.
Shall we get down to business? Sounds good to me.
- Frog Imitations - When it comes to largemouth bass lures there may be none better than frog imitations. This is especially true where there are lily pads present. A frog imitation being retrieved along the tops of lily pads can be a deadly bass fishing lure. Largemouth bass are ferocious predators and will eat their prey and think about it later. There don't even have to be lily pads present in the water that you're fishing. Basically it comes down to this; frogs can be effective anywhere grass is found.
- Crayfish Imitations - Where there are crayfish present (and they are usually present in largemouth bass water) crayfish imitations can be extremely effective. There are 3 main types of crayfish imitations: Large Jigs tipped with pork (or other trailer), crank baits, and Yum "big show" Craws. All of these crayfish imitations can be extremely effective for largemouth bass. As a matter of fact the Yum Craws can be fished alone or as a trailer in a large bass jig. Both methods are effective. The bottom line is that bass lures that imitate crayfish are very effective.
- Shad Imitations - In many lakes where largemouth bass swim, so do the bait fish shad. Anywhere that shad swim, shad imitations work very well as bait for these silver predators. Shad imitations are available in 3 main varieties: Spinner baits, soft plastics and crank baits. All 3 types of shad imitations are effective in different bass fishing situations. One of the most realistic and effective largemouth bass lures that imitate shad is the KickTail minnow. Other varieties would include: the Shad Rap, Bomber Fat Free Shad, and the Rat-L-trap.
- Worm Imitations - There may be no better known, or more effective bass fishing lure than the plastic worm. Plastic worms can be fished in a variety of manners from the famous Carolina rig to the wacky rig. Plastic worm fishing has been revolutionized by Berkley with their Yum and Power products. These products are the same as plastic worms except for the fact that they are impregnated with fish catching scents. These worm imitations are much more effective as bass baits than traditional plastic worms. In any case, worm imitations are very effective as largemouth bass lures.
The bass fishing lures listed above are some of the most effective on the market today when it comes to fishing for largemouth bass. If any of these bass lures aren't a part of your bass fishing repertoire, add them sooner rather than later.
