Beginning Bass Fishing Lures

You don't have to know about every type of freshwater fishing lures. There are just to many to deal with at once, particularly if you are a newbie to fishing or just beginning.

Just bass lures alone come in may different types. Poppers, chuggers, spinner baits, twister tails, plain jigs, skirts and more. That's just bass lures, not walleye lures, lake trout lures, muskie lures, brown trout lures, brook trout lures, tube lures or other freshwater lures that are available for you.

Had enough yet as that doesn't include minnow shaped lures or diving plugs, let alone the choices of wooden, steel, plastic or rubber and natural, like feathers or hide.

BTW, I should probably tell you,

As a beginner you really don't need to know everything there is to know about all those types of fishing lures.


The easiest thing is to go to the sporting goods store and ask them what the top 3 lures are for bass or whatever else you are fishing for and then get them.

There are at least 3 lures I always have with me. A red and white daredevle, a countdown rapala and a skirted spinner. Of course I also have a few different colors and sizes of jigs and tails.

No natural feathered or fuzzy things tho. I've found the soft plastic baits to be very good

and fish have liked them for a long time. Yes, these are the bare basics but I can catch almost any type of fish on them.

You don't need to get fancy to catch fish. Always remember that a lot of lures are created to catch fishermen, not fish.

Don't let other people make it complicated for you. There are good bass lures that work almost all the time and that's all you need. Keep it simple for Bass fishing lures.
