Best Bait for Bass
Hi all. Please can you tell me what the best bait for catching Bass as I am really desperate to catch my first ever Bass. Please feel free to metion thr rig(s) to use as well.....Colin 

Hi colin
Varies coast to coast,lug,rag,lug tipped with squid,whole squid,peelers,razorfish,blueys,sandeel(live or dead)mackeral.......
As for rigs,pulleys,running ledgers,pennels,flappers.......
I believe if the fish are there and feeding they will take the bait
Try different things at different venues,find what works best for you
Hope this helps,Darren

i know a guy who had 6 bass sunday morning
not gonna say where but they were all on lug (to many netters reading this )
all the bass i have had (only about a dozen all smallish under 2lbs )they also were on lug
for bigger fish its better to use a pennel rig (2 hooks on the same snood for bigger baits)
just remember a bigger fish will be more interested in a big bait but you can still catch a 10lber on a single lug
it a case of getting to a spot were there are some bass and keep tryin
it will happen
cheers steve

I lived next to the Thames in Woolwich Dockyard about 8 years ago., where a 7 year old girl caught a 6lb bass on her first ever fishing trip using chicken breast as bait. The place was packed for a few weeks after that (with everyone using chicken breast) but I don't think that any more were caught.se28 wrote:Caught a Bass in the thames, thamesmead area with lug sunday.
