What is the best bait for bass in a river?
A top lure for river bass is a soft plastic crawfish either Texas-rigged on a worm hook or attached to a lightweight jig. Heavier jigs tend to fall to the bottom whereas a lightweight model or a light sinker on the Texas rig is swept by the current right in front of a bass' nose.
