The Best Lures for Catching Trophy Largemouth Bass in Central Florida

If you’re after a true trophy bass in Central Florida, your bait choice matters just as much as your location. With warm weather, vegetation-filled lakes, and aggressive fish, the right lure can turn a slow day into a memory you’ll never forget.

Here are my top 5 lures for big largemouth:

1. Topwater Frogs

Florida’s lily pad fields are frog heaven — and so are the bass hiding under them. A hollow-body frog worked across pads at dawn or dusk will trigger explosive strikes.

2. Soft Plastic Worms

From Senkos to trick worms, soft plastics are a year-round producer. Rig them Texas-style or wacky for pond fishing and around grass.

3. Swimbaits

Big bait = big bass. Glide baits and paddle tails imitate shad and bluegill, two of Florida’s main forage fish. Perfect for Lake Tarpon or other trophy waters.

4. Jigs

When bass bury themselves in hydrilla or heavy cover, nothing beats flipping a jig into the thick stuff. Add a craw trailer for extra action.

5. Lipless Crankbaits

In cooler months or when bass are schooling, a lipless crank ripped through grass can trigger aggressive reaction strikes.
