More then ten million people are in love with the Largemouth Bass. For a lot of people,bass fishing is a passion that takes up almost all of their free time. They own all the most expensive equipment, have all the best lures,and have several expensive rods and reels.

The lures used by anglers to catch Largemouth consist of the following soft plastics,spinner baits,top water baits,buzz baits,and crank baits. Although a lot of anglers swear by the soft bait because it feel more realistic then the other baits and you can use them in any situation.

However in some situations this might not be the case.
