The best fishing bait depends on what you are fishing for and if you are fishing Fresh Water or fishing Salt Water, there are certain baits that you can use in both Fresh Water and Salt Water, for example worms, Fresh Water you can use worms for almost any fish, Salt Water you can use worms for fishing for a lot different fish or you can use worms to catch Bait fish.  I've used worms for catching Spot which in turn I used for fishing for Sea Trout or Weakfish, both the same.  Plastic Worms are suppose to resemble the natural worm, but with the plastic worm they come in many different colors.  I use the plastic worm with a bucktail to fish for Sea Trout or Flounder, sometimes when the fish is not biting try using a different color worm, worked many times for me.  The best thing is to try many different types of bait from artificial to live bait, and see how much fun you will have
