Blade baits
A blade can be a great choice when targeting bass holding in deeper structures. These baits perform well in deep, clear reservoirs highland, channel drop offs, slick pottery points, and 45 degree rock banks. They can operate in both clear and slightly stained waters. A plain blade creates the most flash, while a painted blade produces maximum bass appeal on cloudy days. For probing structures to a depth of 30 feet, a 1/2-ounce knife is best. For casting in gales or deeper applications, a 3/4-ounce is the best choice.
Blade baits are also suitable for use on reservoirs, lakes, and reservoirs. Blade baits can be used for fishing for bass in colder water, as well as on lakes and reservoirs. You can find a tutorial on how to make blade bait if you're not familiar with the type of bait. A blade bait can be made from sand and grass mixed with rock. If you are fishing for bass in clear or brackish water, make sure your bait blends well with the surrounding colors. The best water for dark colors is browner, transparent water. Clearer water will work better for earth-tones.
Jigging spoons
Deep-water bass fishing is made easier by jigging spoons. Numerous anglers have reported landing spotted bass more than 100 feet deep by using jigging bowls. A felt-tip marker is a handy tool to keep in your shirt pocket when fishing deep water. It marks the line at your rod's tip after each strike. This will allow you to accurately lower your spoon to the right depth for retrieving the fish.
If you are using a jigging tablespoon, ensure that it is rigged on an action reel. A jigging rod is heavy and requires a fast reel. While fishing with a heavy jigging spoon is difficult, bass will bite the lure when it drops quickly through deep water.
Swimbaits
You need to be able to recognize bass behavior when fishing with swimbaits. This lure is very attractive to bass, so use less buoyant swimbaits if you are fishing in deep clear waters that have lots of cover. These baits have two to six sections connected by hinged joints. There are many types of hard swimbaits, both machine-made and handcrafted. Each has a different buoyancy. Hard body swimbaits are best for larger bass areas that require additional buoyancy.
Big bass are wary and don't take lightly to a swimbait. While a small swimbait may not be intimidating to a larger bass, even a smaller one will try to eat a chunk of it. Swimbaits that mimic their prey's movements can also be a hit with bass. If you want to know more about the benefits of swimbaits, read Huk's educational blog series.
Crankbaits
For deep-water fishing, a crankbait should have a large bill. This will allow for a realistic wiggle. This will draw bass to your lure. As the crankbait is pulled through the water, the bill will dive further, mimicking a baitfish swimming in the area. Bass will also be attracted by a large lip, which will attract them to a crankbait.
Crankbaits are an effective strategy for largemouth bass fishing. They cover large areas of the water easily. Because crankbaits cover a large area you can target specific depths from one bait. However, it is important to learn classic methods to catch bass using crankbaits. The following are some of these techniques. First, you need to learn how to cast crankbait.
