The Best Lures For Florida Bass Fishing

By Marla Mills


For a long time aquatic creatures have been a source of intrigue to human beings. We spend limitless resources in their pursuit, either for food, as a sport or entertainment. One thing remains; the success of an angler out in the field is determined by his skills, experience and tools. There are many types of lures designed for different underwater conditions. These lures are inexplicably useful in a Florida bass fishing expedition.

Worms are a particularly tasty meal for many kinds of fish. It is from this knowledge that plastic worms are designed to function as bait. Rather than spend hours trying to catch real worms, the plastic kind work equally well. The success of worm lures has made them a favorite of many anglers. They are easy to use and can attract deep seated aquatic animals.

Stick baits are floating lures that work by making subtle splashing movements on the surface of water. The angler must make slow movements with a hooking line to mimic the behavior of small fish. The bass at the bottom of ponds and lakes are attracted to the splashing movements and take the bait. This lure is best used in warm water ponds with little vegetation.

The largest fish are typically found cowering at the bottom of the lake. They make few movements and do not come up as often. To catch the large samples, one needs a lure that sinks. The spoon bait is an excellent choice of lure for bottom feeders. The object is shaped like a spoon and has an oblong edge. An advantage of this lure is that it does not get snagged in weeds and underwater plants.

The buzzbait is a distinctly weird object in the eyes of many anglers. It has a hollow midsection and a small plastic propeller in the back. The buzz bait makes a buzzing noise when drawn through water. It is this noise that attracts fish and other sea creatures. The best thing is that this lure can be used in deeply vegetated areas without the risk of snagging.

The spinner bait is a versatile decoy that has a high success rate in the hands of an experienced angler. The lure resembles a small, twisted paper clip that has a jig head and spinning blades. Despite its strange appearance, the spinner bait is highly effective. When retrieved slowly, the lure spins and flashes wildly in the water. The lure is manufactured in varying colors that attract varying aquatic creatures.

The rat trap lure is truly an object of wonder. This contraption is devised to resemble a small fish with hollow insides that are filled with small beads. When placed in water, the small beads make a jiggling noise that drives fish crazy. They swim in hordes towards this mysterious contraption, much to the joy of the fisherman.

The joy experienced after catching a large fish is inexplicable. It is the reason why anglers and fish enthusiasts spend hours seated quietly in boats. To improve your chances of success on a Florida bass fishing expedition, invest in good equipment.
