Plastics. Everyone uses them at one time or another during their fishing outings whether in the form of a grub or the ever popular worm. The plastic bait first showed up at Bassmasters tournament back in the early sixties. It  first came in the shape of a grub and was used with a lead head jig. Since then plastics or rubber worms have taken off and can be found in every bass anglers tackle box.

Over the years a large array of companies have started to manufacture plastic lures in every shape imaginable. You can find grubs, worms, crayfish, frogs, lizards and the list goes on. The companies also have added scent to their mixture to entice fish into biting the lure. All of these plastic baits come in various sizes, every thing from  ½ inch grub to a 12 inch worm can be purchased from your local tackle shop.

Many say that the new plastic baits have a lot to do with the bigger bass being caught and record catches being made everyday.

There are almost as many ways to fish them as there are baits. Gary has done a couple of articles on plastic worms and Leo is working on tube jigs. Eventually we hope to cover as many of the plastic baits as possible.
