Bass Fishing Techniques with Plastic Worms -
We recommend you cast out and let your plastic worm hit the bottom. Then go ahead and reel in your sack before giving it a few tugs. Next slowly start to reel in the worm then stop. Give the bass a chance to swim up to it, then give it a few quick pulls. Continue to do this over and over until you have the plastic worm reeled back in.
Bass Fishing with Spinnerbaits -
The technique used for spinnerbaits is not at all complicated. We recommend you simply cast it out and let it sit for a few seconds before slowly reeling back in, or as soon as it hits slowly start to reeling back in. Nothing real fancy here.
Bass Fishing Techniques with Crankbaits -
We think the best technique is to cast them out and bounce them off logs or lilly pads. Next, give a pause for a second or two so the bass believe this a frog or dragonfly that just landed. Then start to pull the rod slowly towards you before reeling in the slack and repeat. You can switch up the rhythm as you do this if you are not having any luck.
Bass Fishing with Jigs
Start by casting out your jig into and around grassy areas or weeds. The jig is the best lure for these areas because of its smaller hook and plastic body. Next, as you start your retrieve give the bait a few tugs then stop. Then slowly give it a few pulls then stop. Now continue doing this until you have reeled it back in.
Bass Fishing with Poppers -
When you are casting poppers you will want to let it sit still for a few seconds after the initial hit on the water. Next, begin to tug and reel, tug and reel, and continue through the entire retrieve.
We hope these techniques and tips have been helpful for the beginners out there who want to try bass fishing.
