Other Useful Information
What color is best for bass fishing with a plastic worm?
The quality of the water determines the ideal plastic worm color for bass. When fishing in clear water, where bass can see best, use translucent colors like watermelon. They disappear into the background, causing bass to bite to see if they are food or not. Black and other dark hues work best in murky water. Bass finds their silhouettes with ease.
Do I always need a sinker/weight with soft plastics?
With soft plastics, weights are not usually necessary. For instance, stick worms are frequently fished wacky style, with a hook driven once through the middle of the Stick Worm. Soft plastic jerkbaits can provide a darting action without the use of a weight.
Why can I never catch fish with soft plastics?
Soft plastic baits can be used everywhere and at any time to catch bass. For every fishing situation, there is a soft plastic bait available, regardless of depth or weather. Rigging the perfect one for the current fishing conditions is the key to unleashing their potential. While a small flat-bellied worm on a dropshot is excellent for catching deep-water smallmouth, a Texas rigged craw is preferable for catching largemouth that are probing shallow-water plants.
