7 Best Bass Lures That Work Year Round | Bass Fishing

Can you really catch fish in hot water?

I've followed Glen for several years now, and he usually talks about hook sets per technique. I recently watched two videos for beginners on light-wire type baits on spinning gear and although I already know about sweep sets and not really rearing back on them like a texas rig for instance, the two beginner videos I watched didn't give that information. Just thought that's really important information for my new fishing buddies. I believe one of them was Crankbaits for beginners (Aug 9,2023).

You said named seven best he's named every lord but you could buy

Bass are not discrimating eaters. There is no such thing as a magic lure. I have literally put treble hooks on a block of wood I cut out with a table saw and caught bass with it. I didn't even put paint on it. Just…ordinary…wood. Bass are instinctual hunters. Their primitive brains are hardwired to respond a certain way in response to certain stimuli. If you show a hungry bass motion and behavior which triggers their strike response, they will strike. Bass will strike anything because they are opportunistic predators which will eat anything. That includes baitfish, worms, leeches, other bass, crustaceans, bugs, turtles, snakes, lizards, salamanders, frogs, mice, rats, baby ducks, and even alligator hatchlings. They will literally eat anything small enough to fit in their mouths. If you were small enough or they were large enough, they would even attempt to eat you too. Successful bass fishing is less about the lure or bait you are using, and more about finding the fish when they are hungry and getting at them with the tackle you have. Are they in shallow water or deep water? Are they put off by a change in weather? Is the water too cold or too warm? Is the water clear or very murky because of rain runoff? Most importantly, are they hungry? A hungry bass will strike. Period. Older fish or fish that have been caught before can be more wary than bass that are young and have never been caught before. Bass also move around quite a bit. On big lakes or rivers, you've got to find them. That means you have to know something about their patterns and what kind of water they like at certain times of year or when the conditions and weather are a certain way. Find hungry fish and you will catch them. Everything else in fishing is secondary to that ability. It's simple knowledge and understanding which separates the great fishermen from the mediocre ones. So what if you can pop a beer can with a worm at 50 ft with your $800 casting rod. Bass don't live in beer cans. A 10-year-old fishing from the bank with a Snoopy rod who knows the water and the fish will out fish you every time.

All good baits but my question is we’re is wacky worms just yesterday I got 15 fish in only about a hour and a half with just wacky worms I was getting fish almost every cast there were so many I had to cut my line because one of them went crazy

I would love to acquire those crank baits can you assist

Probably the number one or near the top Bass bait is the Senko type stick bait. I have all the baits you mention here but the one that constantly catches more Bass for me than all of them in almost any conditions is the Senko style stick bait. They make them in a variety of sizes, thickness, and colors. You can wacky rig, Texas rig, shaky head rig, or drop shot them and they just plain catch Bass.

I have, and have literally used all of these and still catch absolutely nothing

This was very very helpful for a young kid thank you so much

Personally if I only had the choice to choose between when we were to take I would just take a plastic worm. They've literally worked for me better than anything else throughout the year
