Bass Fishing Tips Index

These tips should help you catch more bass using plastic worms or lizards.

Rib worms and rib lizards hold more scent, move more water, feel softer and protect your hook from getting snagged.
Small lures like the 4 inch rib worm or lizard penetrate grass or brush better than large worms.
When bass are high in the grass, use a light sinker.
When bass are buried deep in the grass or brush, a Texas rig will penetrate the cover better than a Carolina rig.
Flip or pitch a Texas rig right into the heaviest brush you can find.
If your bait feels heavier than it should or it feels kind of mushy, jerk. Jerk hard.
When flipping or pitching, watch your link as it sinks. You will see the line jump if a bass picks it up. You can also tell how deeply your lure has penetrated the cover.
When fishing boat docks, get your lure right against the piers then just shake it. Keep it tight against the cover.
A quiet boat and silent entry will catch more bass when flipping or pitching.
When you feel your worm cross over a limb or heavy grass, stop it and let it fall. It may fall into a hole where the bass lives.
