We couldn’t possibly cover each individual presentation out there however, we will cover the major categories. There are thousands of fishing lures out there, each one represents mans ingenuity in trying to “trick” that big bass into biting.

What is the difference between a lure, a rig, and a bait? Lures or artificial baits are just that, they are any number of fake bait replications designed to mimic baitfish or other bass forage.
