There’s bass lures that Work and then there’s lures you can mount on the wall or sell at your next garage sale.

Spring has come and the sun will be shinning late into the Autumn this year, and the fish are promising to be jumping in the boats, especially that most desirable of fish, the bass. You need only to assemble a formidable selection of bass fishing lures to entice them.

Now bass fishermen, like any fishermen, differ sharply on which are the best bass fishing lures, the ones sure to get that strike every time a fish comes into sight and smell of that slimy delight. Live swimming grubs or lures imitating grubs have proven effective for snatching those bass 10 to 15 feet deep. Live grubs wag their tails in a subtle manner, which brings attention from those bass below, so if you’re using artificial grub, make sure their tails will wag gently as you fan cast around your boat. Use a steady retrieve, slow and smooth. Shad colored grub lures are especially effective.

Many bass fishermen use spinner baits, but may find these sink too slowly and the action isn’t fooling the bass. Interestingly enough, a one half ounce Sonar has properties that call those bass like a school of shad. The metal blade vibrates and the lure sinks quickly, hitting the bottom with a hard thud. The size of a threadfin shad will catch the eye of any bass. You’re sure to land your max using these.

Switch blades are popular bass fishing lures for catching bass, the , the Reef Runner Cicada, and Wordens Showdown are popular and very effective lures. These lures are normally fished vertically, but many cast them for more extensive coverage. Cast these out about 15 feet, let them fall to 20 feet, then pump it back up to 15, repeating until you’ve completed the retrieve. Aim in another direction and try again. The more area you cover, the greater likelihood you’ll hook that big fish.

Soft plastic bass fishing lures have also produced good results. These are constructed almost like a fly. The hair and feathers are neatly tied to their soft, plastic bodies. Some sparkling flash material is also attached to the body. Nothing beats flash to spark a bass’es interest. These lures may imitate worms, shad or grub. They are more a work of art than a lure, but perhaps there are art loving bass out there too. (more…)

Spinner baits are some of the most diverse and explosive lures you can store in your tackle box. They’re strong, and create a lot of action. The Strike King Bleeding Premier Elite Spinnerbait perfectly mimics a small school of fish…sure to drive the big ones wild.

This particular model comes in a Bleeding Chartreuse color and weighs approximately 1/2 Oz. It comes with all of the features of the famous Premier Elite Spinnerbait. Red stainless steel wire and a red blade tab that adds flash and slight sound. It also has a bleeding red accent skirt and bleeding bait hook.

Once the hook lands, nothing is getting away from you.

The Strike King Bleeding Premier Elite Spinnerbait is a little on the expensive side for only 1 lure, but what you get in quality and durability makes up for the cost. This is a spinner you can hang on to for years.
