Many bass fishermen spend a ton of time and effort searching for the "best bass bait", and as we all know, "the best" bait for bass will change as weather, moon, and fishing conditions change. With that being said there are certain bass baits that seem to be effective at catching bass all year long. This article is about those baits and is a great "jumping off" point for anyone interested in catching bass consistently.

These baits are all time tested and have been proven to catch bass on a consistent basis no matter what season it is. Add some knowledge about the weather, moon, color patterns, and bass behavior and you will become a much more successful bass fisherman. The bottom line is that these 3 baits are easily among the best bass baits of all time and should all be a part of any serious bass fisherman's arsenal.

I'm not going to list these baits in any particular order, seeing as how they seem to be equally effective in different fishing situations.

1. Plastic Worms - Anyone who is the least bit familiar with bass fishing knows how popular plastic worms are. Plastic worms undoubtedly have their place among the best lures of all time. These bass baits can be fished as a Carolina Rig, Texas Rig, or even a Wacky Rig, among others and are extremely effective at catching bass in a variety of situations. With technological advances plastic worms have also been taken to another level by being manufactured with bass attracting scents impregnated into them. Plastic worms certainly need to be mentioned among the best bass baits.
2. Spinner Baits - Spinner baits are an excellent bass bait and are wonderful for covering a lot of water fast. As a general rule these baits tend to catch larger bass as well. Something to keep in mind the next time you head out to your favorite bass fishing lake. These bass fishing lures create a ton of vibration and flash under the water which attracts hungry bass in many instances.
3. Swim Baits - Swim baits are a crank bait/soft bait hybrid and are among the best bass baits available today. Some of the most effective swim baits are the ones that mimic live shad (a major food source for bass in many lakes). These lures are extremely realistic and look almost exactly like live bait fish. Swim baits are excellent bass baits for many bass fishing scenarios.

The bottom line is that these 3 bass fishing baits are among the most effective bass fishing lures available to bass fishermen. If any of these baits aren't a part of your tackle box they should be added sooner rather than later.
