If you have the best bass fishing lures in your tackle box and good angling skills in your hands, nothing can stop you from becoming a pro fisher.
Though not every bass fishing lure works in the same way, every time, an informed choice can go a long way in getting you the desired results.
First and foremost, artificial lure reduces the use of live baits. This means by getting these you are helping maintain the balance of the marine ecosystem to the maximum possible extent.
Further, with fishing lures, you can cover more area of water in less time. Luring effectively targets the fish and is a proactive method of seeking them. Soft plastic lures and bucktail jigs usually work well with moderate water temperature, water clarity, fish activity levels, and light levels. Bass fishing lures hook fish in the mouth, jaws or lips which makes the catch and release easier and safer.
Whether you are an experienced angler looking for some aggressive predatory fish or a beginner who wants to try their luck, lures are sure to you give you some delicious food to cook!
Well, the advantages aside, you will find that using lures is the most fulfilling experience you will ever have! It totally gets you engrossed because you are actively involved in the search. Besides, the unwanted by-catch doesn’t come and you get the big fat ones – even when you are not a professional!
1. Rose Kuli Life-Like
Rose Kuli is a set of 3 lures contains largemouth crankbaits that can swim in topwater making it the top pick on our list of best bass fishing lures. Each lure can dive to about 3’-4’. This lure with a solid built is one of the best in the market. Its 3D eyes look real and this trout swims and floats gracefully. I fell in love with the lure because it is bright and attractive and looks like real fish. It caught me a peacock bass just after a few casts.
Features
- Beautiful looking colors
- Multi-joint body connected with textile fabrics that makes it wiggle from side to side
- Built-in gravity ball helps in reducing wind resistance during the throws.
- Catch a wind range of fish like bass, walleyes, smallmouth, pike, largemouth, muskie, etc.
- Perfect for both salt and fresh-water

If you are an expert angler, reel it at different paces for different movements. The rainbow-colored is especially attractive which is probably what the predators like too. You can get a single one too but the pack can save you a few bucks.
2. Truscend Slow Sinker
These eight segmented life-like best bass lures are a charm to watch. You will get a pack of 3, each with attractive color and movement.

Try a faster retrieve with this lure and you can really see some great action. You can catch some great fish like walleye and Pike once it sinks. The only issue is it floats for longer than usual before sinking, especially if you reel very fast. If you face this, use a spinning reel for the lure.

Conclusion,
There are many more lures in the market but these are some of the best bass lures that I would personally recommend. Not just because of the price, but their ability to swim, dive, perform and get good fish for a hearty meal. Well, all these look great too! Other than ABS plastic, fishing lures can also be made out of wood, rubber, metal, cork, feathers. Lures also ensure a higher fish survival rate during the catch and release fishing by avoiding deep hooking.
