Best lures for bass

[Bigbass37]

I have started fishing for wild bass up little river with lots of structure. If you have hass any experience with this type of fishing, can you help me out with telling me about what type of lures you use.
In info is good.
Cheers

Osp bent minnows

Any specific colour

[boris]

Spinnerbait!

I use the impact tackle ones most and i like the eel colour. Other than that a beetle spin rigged plastic or pony spin jighead!

surface lures for me, cicadas, walkers, poppers, cant beat it. Lately I have been having great success on tiemco trick trout tiny cicadas in any colour and also sugoi poppers, but they dont seem to be too fussy! Cast tight into structure and slowly work them back out

I try and use stuff that isnt super popular, and in turn the fish dont see too many of them. Everyone throws walkers, poppers etc and they do work (and well), but the fish do become educated to them eventually. The last few seasons I have put a lot of effort into wake baits of various descriptions and have become a massive fan. They are not the latest or greatest in terms of design or innovation, but they work and have an uncanny ability to call in bass from far away. So in my opinion it would pay to have a few in your box, if only for those odd days where nothing else seems to work.

Surface - For calling the bass in Sigletts, fro delicate presentation Tiemco soft shell or Trick Trout Tiny Cicada. For heavy cover Kokoda Bat (upgraded hooks).

Surface walkers like Atomic K9 walkers and Jazz Zappas work well.

Subsurface in cover Spinnerbaits,

Big fan of the Sigletts for top water

[Beeky]

Lately I have been throwing a Megabass siglet or OSP Bent minnow in both the 76 and the 86.

For sub-surface I have been throwing jackall tn60's silent or a spinner bait mainly the Impact tackle or Smaks.

Go old skool buddy like jitterbugs and rebel Crawfish and manns lures.

[Bobby Bass]

In rivers

Blue and white or purple and white spinnerbaits, silver blades for clean water, gold blades for dirty water

Bets spins with a atomic paddle tail or slider 3" paddle tail cut down.

Plastics on a jig head slowly rolled work well too, same plastics as above, I like smoked yellow core or black.

At night I use big black surface lures like jitterbugs or something similar

During the day any type of cicada lure or something like a Sammy 65 works pretty good. Surface fishing during the day can be fun but doesn't always give you the best results, if you have a lot of shade in the river you may be able to get good fish all day but I would normally change to spinnerbaits or plastics and fish a little deeper.

Small crank baits like jackal chubbier use to be very popular, they still catch plenty of fish if you get them close enough to the snags.

Football jigs or cobra jigs- if the sun is full on and you can't get any fish try a 1/2 oz football jig, purple skirt, a 3" bulky hawg in watermelon or some thing similar is normally good, put a bit of s factor on it or mega strike . Find some thick weed patches near cover and lob or pitch cast the jig in the middle, let it get right to the bottom under the weed then give it very slow hops. You will need to set the hook when you feel the bite. I use 16 pound leader for this because you will be rubbing up against snags and weed all the time.

Have fun

I feel ya! I've been steering clear of the usual for a while now because I just don't like being on a band wagon. A bit like you although Japanese I've been loving anthrax's and yamatoyos and other almost cod size crawlers for bass, jitterbugs and the like and they still work a treat! Heading sub surface can't go past spinnerbaits in black gold, white brown and purples.

Only one way to fish for bass "surface". You can't beat it!!!
Especially if you got a lot of structure to cast into and over hanging trees it's game on. Early morning And late arvo are the best times or during the day find shaded areas.
My go to lure this season in light to low light conditions is the soft shell cicada bass candy and you can work them so many ways.
When it gets darker I put my trusty Nutterjuck walker on, man the bass hit this lure hard. Darker it gets the bigger lure I go.
Other lures I like to tie on are. Jointed jitter bug, grand siglett, nutterjuck mini jimma,kokoda bugga chug and can't forget the ever reliable Sammy.
Hope his helped
