Attraction Methods for Bass in Dark or Muddy Water

When the water is dark or muddy, the bass' strike zones will decrease so you should use brighter and louder lures to attract their attention. It is quite easy to find shallow running crankbaits that contain rattles for most of them do today. We much prefer these to the non-rattling kinds. If you are using soft baits, it is also easy to ask your local fishing dealer for rattles, which can be inserted directly into a soft plastic's body making it invisible to the fish. You should insert these rattles into the head or upper part of the body so as to not effect the plastic's action. Fishing scent can also further entice a fish strike. Berkley Power Bait makes fish scents for many different species of fish. Just select the bass scent and apply it to the bait that you are to be using. It will tell you on the bottle how often you should re-apply it.
