Whether you are a new angler, or a grizzled old veteran, everyone wants to keep up with what the best fishing lures for bass are.

When fishing for smallmouth or largemouth bass, having the right bait can be almost as important as being where the fish are. While the old tried-and-true baits still work, there have been so many new types introduced in the last few years that a quick review is in order.

In coming up with a list of five or so top ones, our staff drew on our personal experience of over 60 years as well as which ones are being used by the top tournament pros currently. While it is impossible to get everyone to agree on a top 5, these are sure to work and you will want them in your tackle box.
