My Client Catches – A Predetermined Purchase…

Although our (Joe and I) personal and professional bass fishing endeavours (and catches) didn’t really cease over the winter period here in south Devon (due in no small part to the inimitable Megabass Sleeper Craw) I find that this time of the year is also a great time to consider the prospective bass lures for the season ahead, in regard to some well informed purchases…

Perfectly hooked! A combination designed for distance and stability – the 6″ Sidewinder Lures Bass Stick and a 6/0 3g Savage Gear Weedless Hook

The Sidewinder Lures ‘Bass Stick’

Incidentally, I removed the ‘rattle’ before asking Lee to attach this lure… Subtlety is ‘King’ in the dark I find during the more tranquil conditions I tend to seek out for this style if fishing…

I cover the reasons why I purchased a couple of packets of the 6″ (135mm) 22g Sidewinder Lures Bass Sticks in the Audio Clip below the photograph of a rather pleased client of mine (Lee).

A delighted Lee with a thoroughly well deserved bass – his best of the season so far by quite some margin.
