Since 1992, Edgar (Ed) Gentle has served as an attorney at Gentle Turner Sexton and Harbison, LLC, in Birmingham, Alabama. Outside of work, Ed Gentle is an avid bass fisherman who participates in numerous bass tournaments each year.
Many fishing lures are available for anglers, but certain lures work better than others at catching bass. Some of the top lures for bass fishing include:
- Jigs. These versatile lures entice bass to bite in all water temperatures, depths, and environments, and work with various fishing techniques. Jigs are so successful that they are often the choice of bass fishers.
- Plastic worms. Another versatile lure, plastic worms move and feel like natural food to bass. The hook can be buried in the body of the worm to reduce snagging in weedy areas.
- Crankbaits. Available in wide range of sizes, weights, and shapes, crankbaits are commonly used in bass tournaments.
- Spinnerbaits. Although these lures look and behave strangely, they are very effective in bass fishing and easy to use. Spinnerbaits mimic the movement of bugs on the surface of the water.
