How Do You Fish A Creature Bait

There are several different techniques for fishing with creature baits, and the best approach will depend on the specific conditions and the preferences of the bass. Some common techniques include Texas rigging, trailer of a jig, and flipping and pitching.

Texas Rigging Your Creature Bait

Texas rigging involves attaching the creature bait to a hook and weight and then inserting the hook through the middle of the lure, so that the hook is hidden inside the body of the bait. This allows the lure to move and undulate naturally in the water, making it more attractive to the fish. Texas rigging is often used when fishing around cover, such as weeds, logs, or rocks, as it allows the lure to move easily through these obstacles without getting snagged. 

Creature Bait As A Trailer On A Jig

Using creature baits as a trailer on a jig can be an effective technique for catching a variety of species of fish. The jig itself can be made of a variety of materials, such as lead or tungsten, and can be dressed with a variety of skirts, skirts, and skirts to mimic a live bait. The creature bait added as a trailer provides an additional level of realism and can attract fish that may not have been interested in the jig alone.

These baits are often soft and pliable, allowing them to move and undulate in the water, mimicking the movements of a live bait. They can also be scented to further entice fish to bite. When using creature baits as a trailer on a jig, it is important to match the size and color of the bait to the local forage, as well as pay attention to the fishing conditions and adjust your retrieve accordingly.

Flipping & Pitching A Creature Bait

Flipping and pitching involves casting the creature bait into heavy cover and then "flipping" or "pitching" it into the tightest spaces, such as underneath docks or into thick weeds. This technique requires a specialized rod and reel setup and a lot of practice to master, but it can be extremely effective at catching bass in tight cover
