Plastics vs Live Bait - What You Need To Know

 You might be thinking, "I grew up using live bait and caught plenty of fish."

 Well, I'm not going to lie to you, I grew fishing with live bait too. But here is why plastics can be better especially for bass fishing.

According to Bass Master, here are some pros and cons:

Pros: 

• Less mess
• Easy to change.
• Can be retrieved faster.
• Unactive fish can be persuaded. 

Cons:

• Cost, they can be expensive.
• Don't always work.
• More of a challenge 
• (Convincing a fish that something not real, is real)

One of the most important Pro's to using plastics or artificial baits is that it is the most catch and release friendly. The first are LESS likely to swallow artificial bait whereas they almost always swallow live bait. Click the picture to check out a great YouTube video.
