Going to the fishing shop can be overwhelming as there are millions of different baits to choose from, and you can't drag all those baits out to the lake. This guide will help you narrow down your choices.

Steps

1. 1 Understand that there are 5 main types of bait: crankbaits (wobblers), spinnerbaits (spinning lures), vibrotails, topwaters (surface lures) and jigs (sinking lures). You need to familiarize yourself with each bait and understand their uses and benefits.Crankbaits and spinning lures allow you to fish in wide water and work best in areas with little vegetation and rocky bottom. Jigs will give you a very accurate bite feeling and are one of the most effective types of lure when using cracklings. Topwaters are best for shallow waters, or for areas covered by emerging vegetation such as water lilies, floating water lily leaves. Vibrotails are the most versatile lures. They can be used for fishing with or without a sinker. Floating tails can be used smoothly like topswaters and any type of vibrotail can be fished without fear in any environment, as they are less prone to snagging in extremely vegetated water.
2. 2 Crankbaits: Choose a pair of deep, shallow and medium depth wobblers with natural colors for the bait. Choose some flashy colors. Find flat, short baits. Many crankbaits include rattles, making it easy for the bass to find bait. Another characteristic to consider when choosing a crankbait is very catchy eyes. Glowing eyes are often the best, as the predatory fish uses the eyes to aim at the target for throwing.
3. 3 Spinnerbaits: take several spinners of yellowish-green, white, and black colors with different petals. Gold plated petals work too. Spinnerbaits are usually of two types for standard and overgrown terrain. Lures for fishing in dense water are a good choice if you are fishing in places where there is a lot of cover, but they are also great because they have fewer snags. Add an auxiliary hook for shallow fish bite. Size 1/0 for 7g bait and 2/0 for 10.5-5.5g.
4. 4 Topwaters: choose these baits in the same way as the cranks. Take different sizes; colors may vary throughout the year. In the spring, bright colors work best, and in the fall and winter, black, white or gray colors work well. Find the ones that make a lot of noise and splash that grabs the perch's attention. Common types are the form of frogs or lizards. Swimming vibroworms often mimic small snakes swimming in water.
5. 5 Jigs and vibro-tails: take a few dark colors such as black, magenta, or brown. Choose different sizes. Remember to keep the hooks and leads without contrasting. To start jigging, drop the spoon and let the line sink to the bottom. Usually the perch attacks the bait during the dive, so after it has sunk to the bottom, pull up the rod tip a little to see if someone has caught the bait. Fishing for jigs and vibro-tails is different than for other types of lures. Instead of reeling in the line to create “movement,” the bait is lifted by moving the rod tip. After the lure has reached the bottom and you have dashed with the rod, slowly raise the rod tip until it is fully straight vertically for 12 hours. Leave it in this position for a while and cast it again for 9-20 hours and tighten the coil. Repeat these steps while the line is in the water. You need to be sensitive to the line to catch the bite. Most fishermen use their fingers to press down on the line when they raise the rod tip. You should feel sudden resistance or bumps on the line, or the line will suddenly sag or slip to the side. To hook the fish, very quickly raise the rod tip for 3 hours, and pull back strongly for 12 hours.
6. 6 Add a medium spinning reel and line with a load of up to 4.5 kg, and a reel for casting the lure on a strong rod and line with a load of up to 6.3-9 kg and you are ready to go fishing for any small-mouthed or large-mouthed perch.

Tips

• Try to match your crankbaits to the colors of the bait that the fish you intend to fish are hunting.
• Remember that a perch has a very hard jaw that requires some effort to effectively hook it.
• When fishing with vibrotails such as worms and lizards, you need to lower the line, then let it sink for 30 seconds, and then raise the rod for 12 hours.
• If you can't catch fish, try changing the speed and winding pattern before changing the bait or color.
• Real bait is also a good alternative to artificial bait if you find it very difficult to use them.

Warnings

• Storing a fishing tackle box with all the possible combinations of the mentioned baits is expensive, you might want to buy a couple of them first and experiment with them.
