New to plastics

[Ihateriversnags]

Greetings all,

I have been fishing for bass a long time but the one thing I just have not gotten the hang of yet is fishing plastics. I do very well on cranks, spinners and topwater (fill in favorite topwater bait here). Some days these just don't work and I see guys fishing plastics and doing well. Anywhere I can get info either videos or articles on how to properly rig and fish plastics? Thanks for any help.

wow ! fishing plastics is great ! one thing you can do is go back in this forum . you will find many disscussions on types of plastics and the different ways to fish them.( senkos,carolina rigs,texas rig, and even jerk baits( i think!). as far as books or videos; check in some of the bait shops, or the bigger stores( cableas,gander etc.).maybe even a video rental place? i'm sure whne a couple of the guys get back this weekend , they can shed more light on this for you!
