Tips For Success – Bass Fishing With Live Bait

The spinnerbait has been around for a long time. Crafted in the early 20th Century, The Shannon Twin Spinner, which was produced by a former company in Chicago, Illinois was known to be a very versatile lure by catching bass both shallow and deep with modifications to the blade size and head weight. The Shannon design is still around today with some companies producing a modified version of the Twin Spinner.

Obviously the term ‘fishing bait’ is a broad term that can include many different types of bait, from live worms to paste or nuggets that are sold in jars. For the purposes of this article I’m going to focus on live bait, rather than any other variety. These fishing bait tips should be employed when fishing with any form of live bait.

The bass jig is another piece of fishing tackle I never leave home without, small in size but big on presence when fishing for bass. By it self or with a trailer keep an assortment of these on hand, they are great for fishing around rock piles and ledges and should be in every tackle box.

Spinnerbaits come in all sizes (1/8oz. – 1oz.), shapes, and colors, as do the spinner blades. How do you choose the right spinnerbait? Let’s keep this as simple as possible. If you fish in clear water most of the time use a smaller lure with smaller blades. If you fish in water that is colored or stained use a bigger lure with bigger blades. Another determining factor is the season. Switch the size with the season. Use smaller lures in the spring. Use bigger lures in the fall. The most common sizes are 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce. The 3/8 oz. size is the most versatile and I use this size most of the time. I will go to 1/2 oz. if it is windy. I try to pick spinnerbaits that have medium sized, willow leaf blades. I primarily use only two colors depending on the time of day, white/chartreuse during daylight, and black in low light conditions.

Your Bait Needs To Be The Focus Of The Offering – When using any type of live bait, one of the key fishing bait tips is for the bait to be the focus of the offering. This means using small hooks (many fishermen use hooks that are much too large) and light line (many anglers also use fishing line that’s entirely too heavy). A great way to accomplish this task is by using gang hooks, which are attached to your line by a barrel swivel. This way the line that’s spooled on your reel can be a different weight than the line that your bait is rigged on. The point is that the bait needs to be the focus of your offering when fishing with bait of any kind.

Always try to keep an assortment of colors, shapes, and sizes handy, bass may be more attracted to one color than another. There are many more lures that can be used to catch bass but by having these five bass lures in your tackle box your success rate will drastically improve.
