What baits to use when bass fishing?

In my experience as a fishermen, the most important factor other than where one is fishing is the type of bait one is using. Confidence in a bait is also an important factor in choosing the right bait. When I am thinking of the correct bait to use, I always take into consideration as to what the fish are feeding on. When choosing the right bait, make sure it is the same size and color as the bait fish that the bass are feeding on.
