Anglers can make many small changes to where they cast and how they use their bait to catch more bass. These tips will help any angler land more fish, regardless of experience or skill level.
When it comes to bass, shredded bait and red bait both perform well, particularly in areas such as wood, shallow water, and grass. Torn-up plastic worms look injured to bass, which often look for wounded prey. Similarly, red heads or red hooks can create the illusion of blood in the water, which bass will also latch onto.
Choosing the right location can go a long way, too. Bass prefer shallow areas in the spring, using them for spawning beds. Their ideal spawning locations have protection from wind as well. Bass in these areas can be territorial and may snap at lures out of irritation rather than a desire to eat.

A key to a successful day on the golf course is maintaining proper form and technique when putting. This starts with keeping the putter face in proper alignment so that the ball will travel in the exact direction intended.
To improve a putting stroke, some experts suggest that the golfer should practice hitting with just one hand. The benefit of this practice approach is that, with only one hand involved, hitting a pure putt is challenging. Lessons learned will carry over once you are back to two hands on the shaft.
A routine can also help an effective putting game. One way to do this is to create a routine by focusing on a few standard spots before taking the shot. For example, a routine can include focusing on a blade of grass behind the hole, then focusing on the hole, and then the ball, while taking three or four practice strokes. Find a trigger within this routine at which, without hesitation, the ball is tapped home. By maintaining a routine, muscle memory can take over and one can avoid second guessing and hesitation.
