Largemouth Bass Fishing Lures

Soft Plastic Worms

Our favorite bass fishing lures are rubber, or soft plastic worms, as shown on the right. We have caught more largemouth bass on soft plastic worms than any other lure.

Purple worms are especially good, but other colors also work.

Rig them Texas Style , which makes them weedless. When you cast them out, let them gently sink to the bottom, undulating as they drop. Often a bass will wack them as they near the bottom.

Zoom Salty Super Fluke

Another really good lure for catching largemouth bass is the Zoom Salty Super Fluke Swimbait.

We have caught lots of bass on this lure in the small lakes and ponds around New Jersey.

The Super Fluke can be fished throughout the water column and it is rigged such that it is essentially weedless.

Rapala Minnow Lures

The Rapala Floating Minnow is a great lure for catching largemouth bass. It imitates a minnow, which is one of the Largemouth Bass' favorite foods.

The original Rapala Minnow is made of balsa wood and floats, great for fishing on, or near the surface. They now have versions that suspend, and can be fished lower in the water column.

Crankbait Lures

Crankbait lures dive and wobble as you crank them in following a cast.

They come in numerous types and styles. Most professional bass fishermen carry a large assortment of crankbaits when they fish a bass tournament. They select the type and style to match the situation, and catch bass.

A particularly good crank bait is the Rapala Shad Rap

Spinnerbait Lures

Spinnerbait lures have rotating spinner blades that generate both vibration and flash during a retrieve. They can attract fish in both clear and murky water and even at night.

They have become one of the most popular and effective lures for catching largemouth bass.

Bass Jigs

When bass are near the bottom rooting for crawfish, lizards and other bottom dwellers, a jig is a good choice to catch them.

This is often the case early in the season when the water is cool, and there are not many baitfish around.

We often add a soft plastic trailer on the hook.
