Coming up with a list of the best striper lures is similar to a list of the greatest movies of all time, or something like the top 10 greatest rock songs of all time! There are so many variables to consider: Time, place, atmosphere etc. And let’s not forget personal preference. What works for someone may or may not work for you.
In the end, it’s all about what helps you catch the most fish. But if you’re looking for some pointers, feel free to use our list of what in our view are the best striper lures:
- Creek Chub Popper
For many fishers and surfcasters, the popper is a must-go-along when they are down fishing for bass in lakes. It’s especially helpful when the fish are on the top or need to be lured to the top. It’s a long-standing favorite, and comes at a great price.
- Crank Baits
Crank Baits, it seems, have been with us since time immemorial. New technology now allows you to choose from a wide array of materials, lines, and lip design to run at a desired depth and action. We especially recommend the lipless and square bill baits.
Jig Baits
- Swim Baits
If you’re looking for versatility, swim baits are a top option for bass hunters. And not just bass. The sheer variety of styles, colors, shapes and sizes allow you to target everything from crappies and pike to Walleyes and Muskellunge with swim baits.
- Bunker Baits
Last but not least, the bunker is one of the best baits for striped bass fishing. If you have large stripers around you, you can use the whole bunker. Otherwise, you can slice it into chunks. If you are using bunker baits, it’s a helpful tip to use a fish finder rig as well.
Jigging is when you fish with jigs as lure. Jigs have a lead sinker along with a hook molded into it. The lure will is most often covered by a soft body, which makes it effective especially on or near the bottom.
So that’s about it! Let us know what works for you.
