What bait to use for bass?

Question

I was fishing and seen big bass swimming by the bank. What bait should i use to make them bite? Torpedo, Buzzbait?

Answer 1

Minnows. Minnows are probably the best especially with a small mouth. Just remember that if you can see the bass they can see you and they won't bite.

Answer 2

Texas rigged purple worms are great bass catchers.  Wacky rigged Senko's are also a great choice.  They have the appearance of a dying shad.

Answer 4

Start with the buzzbait and see how aggressive the bass are, if they don't bite use the torpedo. I also like the pop'r line up. With a little practice you can get the lure to stay in one little area and make a lot of commotion. If they still don't bite, try tossing a plastic worm and let it slowly sink to the bottom. The fish should be in a slightly aggitated state and will most likely hit the worm. If you still get no results I would go to live shiners. Tight lines!

Answer 5

not to bust your bubble but if you can see them they generally want bite

they can see you to

Answer 6

I got a ton of lures. The sure fire way to get a bass is to catch a little fish that live where the bass live. put a hook in it so as not to kill it and throw it where you think the bass are. BOOM

Answer 7

Torpedoes and buzzbaits will both work and I've had a lot of success with both. When I go fishing I take three rods out in the boat. One with a buzzbait, one with a popper or a torpedo and one rigged for live bait in case a channel cat is in the area.
