When we talk largemouth bass lures, there are plenty of different styles, colours, styles and patterns to choose from. Generally, you can just read the package that the lure comes in to figure out how to fish with it. Often though, people are picking up deals on fishing lures online and at yard sales so the packaging may not be available any longer. Depending on the type of lure purchased there are often general fishing techniques that can be used. You Tube also has several instructional videos demonstrating certain lures.

Below are some of the popular fishing lure types.

Jigs have metal heads with a hook attached. Sometimes the hook has a “tail” attached, sometimes you must add your own. In general, the tails are made from animal hair, soft plastic, rubber or feathers. Some people will add plastic baits or pork rinds to a bare jig hook while others use live bait such as bait fish, worms or leeches. You can bounce the jig off the bottom of your fishing spot when fishing from a boat. You can also let the jig “swim” about in the current while shore fishing. These are the techniques used most often when fishing with a jig but there are plenty more that can be used.

Spoons are designed to mimic a swimming bait fish. They are made from metal material. You can cast and retrieve a spoon from shore or a boat or you can troll a spoon behind a moving boat.

When fishing for game fish, a lot of anglers consider plastic baits to be the all time best fishing lure. The plastics can look like minnows, worms, crayfish, salamanders and many others. They are available in many sizes and colours. You can attach the plastic lures to bare hooks, jigs, spinners and more to entice bites from fish because of the extra action created.

Plugs are lures that may be fished at varying depths in the water or even on the surface. The diving plugs, usually called “crankbaits” usually have different sized lips which determine the diving depth. Top water plugs do not usually have a lip and float on the surface of the water. With plugs you can either just cast and retrieve at various speeds. With topwaters you can also twitch them around the surface or use a stop and go technique.

Plenty of other bass fishing lure varieties exist including spinnerbaits, poppers, spinners and flies (used for flyfishing). You will have a better idea of which lure to tie on when you begin understanding the area you are fishing in. The lure you want to use should mimic the prey in the water you are fishing. You usually pick one that mimics the size, behavior and colour. Also, the time of year and weather conditions often play a role in lure selection. Professional anglers sometimes study game fish behavior by keeping them in a large FISH TANK and practice catching the fish in it.
