Yes they do.They are so good in fact that I use them to even catch snook and Tarpon in saltwater. Storm wild eyes are very realistic in appearance so you will need to "match the hatch" when fishing it. I speak alot of Flourocarbon leaders and line because this only enhances the lure. They take some getting used to at first but when you do "get a feel for them "you will be catching those bass easily. I have to admit, using the storms isn't my preffered choice when fishing cover ( lilly pads and what not) but they do make great baits for schooling bass, fishing over deep grass beds, rock piles, and spawning beds. I'm sure others here have better uses for them over certain situations but that all has to with being confident in your lure. Go out there and give it a try, if you don't succeed, don't toss the lure, examine the day, what you did and so on to figure out how to best use the lure. Storms are great lures, it just takes some getting used to.
These lures can be found in many, many places online.

Im new to freshwater fishing, and I'm looking for some good bass lures. I dont want to go bass pro shop and spend $100 dollars on lures because they look cool, so any help i could get would be great, (I've been using a shad lure and its been producing a few bass) Im in Texas if that helps.
Thanks everyone, im going to print out the suggested lures and go look for them, and i see alot of people are suggesting spinner baits, and ive been looking at these and have seen many colors and makes, which would be best, and also would i use a slow or fast retrieve, thanks again!
When starting out bass fishing you just need a couple lures - Plastic worms, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and top-waters. Just grab one of each and learn how to fish it.

Welcome to the sport of bass fishing!
saw a bunch of bass jumping out of the water chasing shad but i didnt know how to catch them. im new to bass fishing so i didnt know what lure to use. i tried worms right over the areas where the bass jumped. i also tried a buzzbait and a jig. someone told me to use a jerk shad but i didnt know how to rig one. any tips?
It's a bass fisherman's dream to catch the bass schooling on shad. Some times you can fill up the ice chest and they will hit every time they come to the top and start striking the shad. But for some reason there are times when they will hit absolutely nothing you throw at them, but yet create a storm on the water as they attack the shad. I suspect that you had one of those days when they would hit nothing you threw at them. But just keep trying, because the next time they start schooling up and you are lucky enough to be there, they may hit any lure you throw at them. Here is some advice.Bass will sometimes school in the same area most of the summer. Check out the area they were in every time you go fishing.It will pay off for you good luck!
I'm hoping to find some stripers this weekend, May 9-11, so your answers are really appreciated. Also, if you know where one can use a casting net to gather shad or other bait fish, that would help immensely. Thanks!
You can catch stripers from the deep water port in Stockton to the golden gate bridge. The rock wall off of San Quinten is good, as is the area around the SF airport. Try drifting live bullheads or anchovies and you may land a halibut or a leopard shark along with your striped bass. Both baits are readily available in the bay area.
If you want to catch your own, rather than using a casting net for shad, which are real hard to come by in the bay area, try a small sabiki rig or snagging rig to catch herring or smelt.
DELTA
• STOCKTON — Wind has been miserable, limiting boaters to back sloughs or locations sheltered from the winds. Fishing in open water has been impossible. The winds were so rough over the weekend that one boat couldn't make it back into Benicia from Grizzly Bay. Shoreline fishing in the Benicia area has been pretty spotty with the exception of one keeper and three shakers under the Benicia Bridge on grass shrimp. Kevin Yost of Lucky Strike Fishing said the Lucky Strike Too was up in Montezuma for action on large, oversized sturgeon with an 81-incher released at the bottom of the outgoing tide on grass shrimp with anise scent. Jay Sorensen of Jolly Jay's Guide Service has been limited to hiding from the winds behind Sherman Island, and he reported two legal fish to 4 pounds out of a total of 25 fish Saturday soaking fresh shad from H and R Bait in Stockton. The trolling bite has been limited by muddy water from the last series of huge tides. Mike Gravert of Intimidator Sport Fishing has been working the upper Delta for stripers to 15 pounds drifting live jumbo minnows or bluegill. The water has been muddy, but it clears up at the top of the tide. Randy Pringle, the Fishing Instructor, reported wide-open largemouth action in the central Delta with the Berkley Heavyweight or Hand Pour worms on a Zappu Head on the outside of the weed lines at low tide at depths from 3-14 feet before switching to the IMA Shaker, Pure Poison and Double Diamond in blue gill patterns once the tide came up for fish to 4 pounds. There were fish cruising in the shallows, but they weren't willing to strike at top-water lures.
