Wellzy94 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hey raiders! After a quick flick at the Nepean over the Christmas break that netted me an 8cm bass, I lost my favourite bass lure, and I've decided I need to expand my rather small collection. I have a small range of 38-40mm diving cranks, and various surface cicadas (hardbody and soft-shell). What are your go-to Bass lures, if not cicadas or cranks? Has anyone used Berkley Power Pop frogs to success? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellzy94 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 What sort of knot have you tied there, Rick? Looks like a good way to go. Cheers, Wellzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Knot Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Will sometimes mix it up with a few of the little River to Sea poppers and they double up for bream etc Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macman Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hi Wellsy, Good to see you are still chasing the bass. Do you have any soft shell cicadas yet? Best lure in the box for me over the last two seasons. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
