What are techniques you can use for bass fishing with a 6 1/2 Feet Medium Action Casting Rod?
I want to be introduced to a wide variety of hard and soft lures. I started off using 5 inch YUM Dingers and Rebel Pop-R's with only two quality bass hitting them (unfortunately both were lost). What other techniques will produce with the rod that I have? The reel is a Daiwa Strikeforce 6.3:1 Speed.
Crank baits such as Rapala's Shad Rap is a good start, My personal favorite is the Model A Bomber from Bomber Lures also a Bill Dance Favorite. I cant tell you how many Bass Ive caught on just that one lure alone. Don't forget about those top water lures. where do I start? Top water Popper lures are awesome for summertime Bass. Frogs work very well, so do buzz baits. The soft lures are not something I use too often, but when I do nothing beats a crawdad type soft bait. Bass really aren't that picky, they are territorial, and hungry or not they will bite just because its in its territory, this is why so many type of lures will work. Lure color section really is KEY.to read about it check out this article, I hope you will find it helpful. http://fishinbass.webs.com/lurecolorsection.htm as far as your rod and reel, any will do, I could go out and buy a Scoobie Doo rod and reel combo and catch just as many Bass as the guy next to me using a dollarsignr300. set up, its all about how you present the Lure in the water, the fish don't care what you have above the water. When I was very young my father had my sister and I fishing with bamboo poles. Fish after fish is what I remember about it. Oh yea and my sister crying because she had to kill the worm.lol
