BASS FISHING
A recent arrival to the world of bass fishing techniques that is now hugely popular. It can be very effective when used in tough, extreme conditions in winter, during cold fronts, in the hot days of summer and around spawn. The rig is simply a plastic lure, usually a worm, on a jig head with a long shank hook. The worm is rigged weedless by burying the hook point in the worm.
The presentation is one requiring pinpoint lure placement and a delicate touch in imparting "shaky action" to the lure. Many different lures can be used such as small jigs, tubes, creature baits, worms of numerous sizes and craws. I use a 6´ 10" ", "extra-fast" action rod. However, any rod that has a stiff butt and light tip will do. A spinning reel is best for this technique.
