Bass fishing baits are obviously a key element in landing that prized bass. After all, with bass fishing now such a rewarding sport, there are some big incentives for anglers these days in nailing that whopper.
What bass fishing baits should you use? It's a question asked with monotonous regularity by anglers, especially inexperienced fisherman. If I had a dollar for every time someone has told me they have discovered the secret bass fishing baits that literally has fish jumping into their lap I would be a millionaire. Before you can understand bass fishing baits you really need to understand bass fishing itself.
Bass Fishing
Bass fishing originated most likely in the Southern United States where bass was caught for food. It has since developed into a sport and a multi-million dollar one at that. The development of all sorts of fishing gear from equipment to rods to boats to reels and lines has helped turn the bass fishing industry into a blockbuster. Competitive bass fishing actually generates almost two billion dollars a year.
Nobody fishes for bass for food anymore in most circles; it is almost entirely a sport that involves “catch and release”, meaning the fish is simply let go after it is caught and probably photographed and measured for contest purposes and sport purposes. Competition is the driving force of bass fishing now, so finding bigger and better fish is a craze that keeps many bass fishermen and anglers up all night.
Bass Fishing Baits
There are many bass fishing baits available to use. Bass prefer warmer waters, so finding bait that works with the temperature of the water is important. Use colorful lures and other tools to attract the bass and talk to other fishermen about their secrets.
It never hurts to try new things, either. A friend of mine swears by peanut butter on his hook to capture some of the biggest bass in existence while others prefer traditional attractive lures that are small enough to resemble the size of the bass’ main sources of food: the crawdad.
There are many anglers that swear by a so-called “million dollar bait” for bass fishing. This is known as the “JIG and PIG” baiting system. It involves using very specific measurement and proper luring techniques to catch some of the biggest fish around. It isn’t called the million dollar bait because it costs a million dollars but rather because many first prize fisherman have used it to great success.
How often have you heard that fishing is a game of patience? Bass fishing baits are a little like tackling any task in life. You go with what works best for you. Sometimes if even pays to be original and trying something new. Combining best lure and bait practices and trying them until something works is not such a bad thing. Bass fishing bait is one piece of the fishing puzzle but it's oh so important.
