This article will outline some of the more popular and effective spring bass fishing lures available to anglers. Picking a lure for bass fishing can seem like quite a daunting task with all of the options available, and as you more than likely know, certain lures work better than others at certain times of the year. This information will give you a great “jumping off point” at least as far as spring bass fishing lures are concerned.

The first thing to keep in mind is exactly what’s going on in the spring of the year. The biggest thing that happens in the spring is that the weather warms up, and when the weather warms up, the water temperatures begin to warm as well. As water temperatures warm, bass begin to move from their deep water winter lairs, to shallower warmer water.

This means after a couple of warm day’s bass will begin to move onto any shallow flats seeking warmer water. So, rather than focusing of deep water cover, in the spring focus on underwater humps and shallower water than you would in the fall or winter. As the water temperature rises bass will move to the warmer water.

With all that being said, let’s discuss some of the more popular and effective spring bass fishing lures, what do you say?

1. Jig & Pig – The jig and pig is a great bass fishing lure for the spring of the year. This bait imitates crayfish very well, which is a favorite food for bass in the spring of the year. Use colors that mimic crayfish as much as you can. The jig and pig is a great lure at this time of year.
2. Rattling Crank Baits – In the spring a rattling crank bait is a great lure foe bass. Many anglers believe that the rattling sound imitates fighting crayfish underwater. Is this true? Who knows, but the point is that the rattling sound helps to give the bass something to “hone in on”, and in the often stained water of spring, these bass fishing lures are very effective. A great tip is to find some grass and pull your crank bait through the grass, varying the speed of your retrieve as you go.
3. Spinner Baits – Slow rolling spinner baits is a great bass fishing technique to use in the spring. Once again, many anglers think that these lures, when retrieved slowly, mimic crayfish, so stick with darker colors such as black or brown. Colorado blades seem to work better than other blades in the spring of the year as well. Slow roll your spinner bait through any grass that you can find, just like with the rattling crank bait. Try to keep your bait near the bottom as much as you can.

Any or all of the fishing lures listed above are great choices in the spring of the year. The most important thing to remember about spring bass fishing is the temperature of water. As the water temperatures rise, bass become more active and thus feed more heavily, so keep a sharp eye on any temperature changes in the water you are fishing in the springtime.
