More On Plastics

Ok the time is getting near when these baits will come into their own, these odd little bits of plastic have the potential to fish their socks off. Again confidence can be an issue to those new to modern bass fishing, they put them on fish them for a bit take em off again and back in the box they go. Persevere fish on, have confidence these baits are killer! I have so much confidence in them that I am sure i will be able to catch a smooth hound on one! They are killer for wrasse so why not hounds! It's certainly worth a shot and I will keep ye posted. So back to palstics, take a look at these baits in the water they are incredibly realistic, i have to say my favourite is the megabass x layer, this is just an exceptional lure. It has consistently caught bass for me and in the right circumstances can be killer.

There is no doubt that are friends in France are at the forefront of plastic fishing they have developed all the really decent kit for European bass plastics. So with this type of lure once again the angler is very much in charge of the lure, how you retrieve etc controls how the lure performs. So again think about your fishing, have you ever watched sand eel as they swim around! As they burrow into the sand! This is what you are trying to simulate. So how is this achieved well there are a variety of ways to get these lures working for you. Keep the rod tip up and jig fish these lures back towards you, make the action somewhat erratic, don't just cast and retrieve. Another trick can be to let these lures bump on the bottom, the puff of sand sent up is of interest to bass the home in on it as that is what happens when their food buries itself to hide! So a bit like fly fishing for trout we are trying to think about and then mimic the fishes food source. As for led heads the heads i like best at the moment are the ones pictured, they are fixed heads with a pointed top which means the plastic sits up on the bottom! Put one in a sink and check out what I am talking about!
