The best lures will help you catch the biggest bass. One you should try for Arkansas bass fishing is the Walking Worm from NGC Sports (www.ngcsports.com). The scientifically designed lure automatically simulates a live worm, which is the best way to entice Arkansas bass, which love worms more than any other food, especially moving worms that trigger them to strike. The Walking Worm is designed with multi-flex construction that traps air between several tail segments, causing it to constantly curl when it’s in the water, enticing bass to bite it. The Walking Worm was tested against live bait by professional fishing guides and caught three times more bass.

The Walking Worm is one of many fine lures available from NGC Sports, the fishing division of NGC Worldwide, a Connecticut company that uses scientific principles to develop lures that are more lifelike than traditional lures and proven to catch more fish. The company has won awards for its tournament tested lures and has sold millions of them, but not in stores.
