Finesse jigs

Grass jigs
Grass jigs are ideal for fishing in weedy areas, and the Ripper is available in one-quarter-ounce, three-eighths-ounce, and half-ounce sizes. There are ten colors available, including the ChatterBait JackHammer variety. Each of the ten colors blends well with the primary color pattern in the weeds.
Bucktail jigs

Hair jigs

Soft plastic lures
A jig bait is a light, weighted piece of plastic that is dropped into the water. Jig heads produce an unpredictable spiral action. Jig heads are the most used bait for sight fishing.

Flipping jigs
Bass will be attracted to a flipping Jig's rattle. This sound mimics the crayfish's pinching motion. They are available with metal or plastic rattle compartments.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. Bass, catfish, crappie and trout are the most commonly caught fish. There are several different methods used to catch these species of fish. Casting, trolling and spinnerbaits are some of the most popular methods to catch these species.
Finding the right location to catch fish is an important step. This means that you should choose a location near the water source. Next, decide the type of equipment you wish to use.
If you plan on using live bait, you should choose something that looks like food to the fish so they will bite at it. Live bait is made up of worms (minnows), crickets (frogs), bloodworms (bloodworms), grasshoppers, and any other small insects.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting might be something you want to do if live bait is not your thing or you want to try out new techniques. Casting is one the most straightforward ways to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
You will need a rod, reel and line. A simple pole is enough to cast with. Simply hold the rod vertically over the water to cast. Slowly lower the rod's tip until it touches water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. After the line reaches its maximum length, let go of the rod. The lure will then fall back into water.
Another method of catching fish is trolling. Trolling, which uses a boat and lures to move through the water, is another method of catching fish.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier than others, but they all require practice.
