The Spinnerbait Plain and Simple! Bass Fishing Lures
For many anglers throwing lures or waving feathers in the air, simply isn’t the best way to catch fish. Sure, lures and flies are effective fish catching tools; it’s just that bait seems to be more effective in many situations. I have personally been fishing with bait for more than 25 years and in this article I will outline 3 fishing bait tips that will make anyone a more effective angler anytime that bait, especially live bait, is employed.
During the 1970’s decade, the spinnerbait became very popular. Many professional bass tournaments were won with spinnerbaits. Rick Clunn, Tommy Martin, and Jimmy Houston, to name a few, gained fame by tossing spinnerbaits to shoreline cover. This popularity has lead to the many innovative designs that we have available for us today.
These tips aren’t being listed in any particular order, so use them as you see fit. Your Live Bait Must Be Alive – Anytime that live bait is used for fishing it is extremely important that the bait be as lively as possible. Dead or dying bait won’t be nearly as effective as “lively” bait. It many instances this means keeping your bait cool or wet and in the case of live fish such as minnows this means keeping the water they are kept in well oxygenated. The bottom line is that when using any form of live bait you want your bait to be as lively as possible.
Spinnerbaits come in all sizes (1/8oz. – 1oz.), shapes, and colors, as do the spinner blades. How do you choose the right spinnerbait? Let’s keep this as simple as possible. If you fish in clear water most of the time use a smaller lure with smaller blades. If you fish in water that is colored or stained use a bigger lure with bigger blades. Another determining factor is the season. Switch the size with the season. Use smaller lures in the spring. Use bigger lures in the fall. The most common sizes are 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce. The 3/8 oz. size is the most versatile and I use this size most of the time. I will go to 1/2 oz. if it is windy. I try to pick spinnerbaits that have medium sized, willow leaf blades. I primarily use only two colors depending on the time of day, white/chartreuse during daylight, and black in low light conditions.
The swimbait is another top choice for bass, having the appearance of a minnow or other small fish swimbaits are just natural bass attractors, highly effective for catching the elusive trophy bass, don’t leave home without at least one.
Always try to keep an assortment of colors, shapes, and sizes handy, bass may be more attracted to one color than another. There are many more lures that can be used to catch bass but by having these five bass lures in your tackle box your success rate will drastically improve.
