professionals will tell you that the soft plastic worm is your best bet in
catching big bass. These are very effective in clear and darker waters and work
great when presented slowly through cover.

rainy days. Usually the most effective spinner baits have two
blades.
Crank baits are very popular lures that resemble a live bait.
They are effective at all times of the day, especially in the early morning
hours. Crank baits have a plastic lip that gives the lure a live swimming
effect. Crank baits with a larger lip are made to dive and should be used in
deeper water.

most areas. Follow these simple bass fishing tips and techniques for catching
