BASS FISHING TECHNIQUES

Fishing for bass is the most popular activity for many anglers and there are a number of bass fishing techniques you should follow. For starters you need to know where to find the bass and it varies by season. In the spring, bass head into shallow water to begin spawning. In the summer, bass swim in deeper water but come into the shallows early and late in the day to feed. In the fall and winter, bass return to shallow water.
Now that you know where to find bass, our bass fishing techniques will focus on how to catch them. Let's start with your rod and reel. A good bass rod should have a heavy strong butt and sensitive tips. You should fish with a strong rod for setting the hook and pulling the bass out of heavy cover. Make sure the reel matches the rod for the type of fishing you want to do. You also need a strong fishing line to catch big bass. Test your knots with strong pulls and look for any possible breaking spots.
Fishermen know that fish love worms and Walking Worms more than any other bait

Of course, the most important bass fishing techniques concern the lures you'll use. Spinnerbaits, top water baits and lipless crankbaits are extremely popular. Spinnerbaits utilize blades that vibrate and flash to attract bass. Top waters are the most exciting lures because you see the strike. Lipless crankbaits are ideal for catching bass in tall grass, ripple them through the water and the bass will strike.
Plastic worms are another top bass lure for our bass fishing techniques, because their size, shape and movement resembles live worms, which bass love to eat. Worm lures come in many different sizes -- use big ones if you want to catch largemouth bass and three to four inchers for smallmouth.
NGC Sports makes the world's most popular plastic worm lure. The Walking Worm utilizes a technology that traps air between tail segments that causes the lure to constantly curl like a live worm. Many worm lures stop moving when they hit the bottom but the Walking Worm continues to move, generating fast strikes. The Walking Worm is renowned for catching monster largemouths exceeding 15 pounds and they can be Texas or Carolina rigged, which is another one of the bass fishing techniques you should master to guarantee a big catch. We hope you've enjoyed our bass fishing techniques and will use them the next time you fish for bass.
