Yes! Thanks for that 👍

Great video. If I may I would suggest a pair of Costa sunglasses. Yes they are expensive but you'll see the difference straight away.

That one's a bass stick and they're lethal around sunken boulders in low light conditions.

Every angler loves a shiny thing in the bag Matt, you can never have too many lures :) great vid!

Super video, always interesting to see what another angler carries and how they fish- very inspirational. Would love to do some lure fishing for Bass here in Suffolk, some great estuaries to explore and some shallow beaches to try.

White Bass Stick is a great night time lure- I just keep my rod up and wind in very slowly. I put holographic eyes on them. It isn't a lure I would go to in the day though, I would probably choose something with a bit more movement. It is a good distance (22g) soft, as this slightly firmer plastic casts better, I can cover the reefs easily with the Stick. I've had some quality fish on it, check out my 78cm on Sidewinder's gallery.

Never actually knew you'd use softies at one point in the season, then change to hard lure, then metals as the season progresses....

@SaltwaterAngler

Sort of , again horses for courses. South west surf and estuaries any types. Metals throughout the year but shads and soft plastics early season when the bass are searching the rocks for small fish and crabs. When the macks and herring arrive the bigger hard plastics come out

Just seen this by accident, fished Gower up to a few years ago before I packed up angling in this country in disgust at fisheries management (lack of!!). We fished the shore, rarely caught fish under 4lb and limited our keep rate to a 2 fish limit voluntarily but now see clowns keeping 2lb fish thinking they are great. Always used trout imitation plugs until the mackerel show or around July time, Rapala tail dancer or jointed rainbow trout lures outfish everything else 7 fish to 1 as sea trout migration big around here. Returned to fishing last year, bass stocks destroyed in comparison fom late 70's early 80's. Slivers were killers trolling Mumbles to the Worm, on the boat early morning or in thundery weather, electric storms got the gars going nuts feeding, so were Storm and Rebels jointed or deep divers which exaggerated their actions, on the boat, only used jellies for pollack. Good luck this season.

Lol I just use what ever I like look off when out. Maybe I should think a little more on what I'm using. Guess when you don't lure fish much you dont think what should be used lol. Nice informative video.

There is a danger of over analysing but I think people focus on things like the finish on a lure or the exact colour pattern when we should consider where it is in the water table and how it matches what the bait fish are. But I probably do think too much !

@infest1977

@@SaltwaterAngler to be fair I get confused as to what to use as and when. Always bait fished and normally pick venues that are distance ones as I know I will over cast. And if not have to take rods that are not casting tools to stop me. Same with lure fishing i will take some thing i like and use over what i should be using. Still have a new rod and reel i got last summer that not used as love my abu one. But as I love the thrill of lure fishing I really should learn some more.

that lure is called a "fucked if i know" but it does look good

Hi there is there a reason you don't use swivels with these lures?

@SaltwaterAngler

10 ай бұрын

for me its that they might cause a distraction to the Bass in shallow coastal waters. i dont like the spin during casting.

I've never got on with the plastic lures they never seem heavy enough so I can only cast them 20ft, much prefer the metal ones or black minnow type can send them whistling out miles.....that said I've only ever caught one bass on a lure!
