Soft Plastic lures, (which include worms, grubs, deadstiks, Etc), would probably work better in most cases.
But, as you know, fish are “picky”. Sometimes, Hard-baits,(Rapalas, Yozuris, Etc), Spinnerbait’s, Topwaters, Etc can/will out-produce soft plastics. It all depends on the mood of the fish.
If I had to pick a general “pattern” to start with, in most situations it would be:
1. Throw 1/8-1/4 OZ spinnerbaits until you find a concentration of Bass.
2. Once you find some #’s of fish, SLOW down and THEN fish the area with your soft plastic lures, (worms Etc.)
Hope this helps ya out? Good luck!
Bass are my fav. I’ve never caught anything without live bait so I’d say use a worm but I get my best results from using leaches and sometimes minnows. I guess it depends on what they’re feeding on.
crank baits
I have fished for many years. Personally I prefer plastic worms (jelly worms). But each person has there own preference.
I personally prefer live worms. On good fishing days, it’s less than a minute after I cast out when the fish start biting. They really like worms.
my favorite lure is the junebug frog while I flip the hydrilla
Try a Senko in green pumkin or black with blue flake, they usually work pretty good, good luck, they’ll out fish most live bait, on occasion they may not, but the majority of the time artificial will out fish it if presented right.
I’ve always felt that spinner-baits were the staple bass fishing lure. You should always have a few in your tackle box.
The problem with using live worms is that you’ll end up catching all sorts of other fish as well. If you are fishing where there are a lot of sunfish/bluegill, you’ll lose a lot of worms on them. Also, most fish tend to swallow live worms, so the hook ends up deep in their gills. This is a problem if you plan on practicing catch-and-release.
Rubber worms!! My favorite color is the watermelon variation.
Real worms are good also but they usually get eaten by the smaller fish.
Well my secret weapon isn’t even made for freshwater fishing, but that’s all the info you get. I’ve been nailing lunkers left and right since I started using it–The smaller bass don’t touch it but the large ones go crazy over it.
