buzzbaits: early mornings and late afternoons from early spring through the spawn and then again in the fall
Spinner baits anytime, early spring through late fall. They can be used in so many different ways they are very versatile They are used mostly for finding fish concentrations and then other baits to actually do the catching.
jointed baits when you feel like it
crank baits anytime, early spring through late fall, They are used mostly for finding schooled fish. can be fished quickly to cover lots of area
soft plastic worms are year round all depths and all water conditions different colors do work better at different depths.
Plastic worms and crankbait anytime. Colors vary between season, time, and other stuff. Jointed lures it depends on that kind of lure. Like if its a jointed deep diver or etc. A buzzbait is typically use for top water in the morning right b4 the sun comes up and until its fully lighted up.
And spinner bait can be use when ever. Its best when its overcast outside. but anytime you see a bass jump trow it out and catch it. Same thing for spoons.
buzzbait…summer through fall. especially weedy/brushy areas especially especially late evening/night, early A.M.
spinnerbait…wood. trees. muddy water. especially a big colorado blade. rip rap and other rocky areas.
jointed lures… trade ‘em for topwaters. summertime. flat, calm conditions. any fish crashing bait on surface. especially a small shad colored pop-r.
crankbaits…year round when you’re not using plastic worms. especially good in winter. slow presentation. deep divers. crawfish patterns.
fast, ticking and ripping through grass in summer.
plastic worms…best bait out there. forsake all others with exception of that pop-r. absolutely work year round. even if you don’t know how to fish them, as long as you fish them slooow, they will catch fish. wacky style was inven…discovered by a person that didn’t have the slightest idea of what to do with one so he just pinned it in the middle. the rest is history.
don’t forget big, black, 10 inch monsters with a 4/0 or 5/0 hook, 1/4oz weight at night.
you left out jigs… one of the better winter and spawn baits. rig ‘em with a big fat craw trailer and drag it near a bedding bass…smaller trailer in winter. fished deep and slow.
you also left out spoons…jigging spoons. good for deep bass. really deep. 50, 60 feet, wintertime. resemble dying baitfish. particularly shad. they usually hit it on the drop as you bounce it on the bottom with a tight line. watch for the tiniest twitch in your line. set the hook.
same as in hot summer temps. easy to fish in deep water.
and lastly (actually not but this is where l’ll stop), big 10″ & 12″ plastic or wooden swimbaits…if you should happen to be a so cal fisherman, these beasts in a trout finish absolutely knock the pizz out of huge 10lb, 15lb++ toads. just the size of the trout our lakes are stocked with and the bass are there waiting for the hatchery truck. also in a slightly smaller bass or bluegill finish for summer and fall. l prefer the floating models of these for “dead sticking”.

Buzz-baits? A good early morning spring-summer time lure. Fish around, but not on top of the matted grass/hydrilla. It is a top-water lure but that doesn’t make it weed-less. Also works good around old dead trees/stumps.
Spinnerbaits? They practically work all-year long. In winter you can slow roll a small 1/8 OZ spinnerbait and catch some solid 3-5 lb. fish on a weekly basis. In spring and summer time you can burn 1/2 OZ spinnerbaits threw old stumps and catch some hawgs too! In fall, a 1/4 OZ’er works the best. A very versatile lure!
Jointed lures? Such as Rapala’s? These work good in spring I would guess. I don’t fish many Rapala’s or Jointed lures to tell you the truth.
Crank-baits? Lip-less ones will catch hogs in the winter. My biggest bass, 8 1/2 lbs, was caught with a 1/4 OZ Rat-L-Trap in February one year. They catch hawgs. The lipped cranks work best in spring though. The ones that mimic crayfish are my favorite for big smallmouths!
Soft plastic worms? Work all-year long. Have caught hawgs on these too. Fish at night with big 8-10″ black worms. Fish during the day with 4-7″ worms. They’re available in every color in the rainbow. I even have bright-ass yellow ones! I prefer a darker motor oil or something like that. 6″ all the way.
