[@napalmmoon]

caught a decent sized bass recently on a savage surf seeker, wasn't getting much action in the day but at dusk the waters came alive. A must have for me now.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep I agree I always have one now too

[@wkcinaz]

I’m new to salt water fishing and I live in Japan so most of these should be easy for me to pick up. Thanks for all of the information.

[@pompeyo7]

have never done lure fishing but its definetely on my list for next year

[@Stevie-F]

Your videos are always so helpful. New lures and rod all delivered all of your recommendations over several videos, apart from the ones I cannot find. All barbs crushed and off to Portland bill for 3 days holiday so will be looking several areas around to try to tighten a line. Preferably not in a snag 😂

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Nice and thanks , let us know how you get on Steven

[@MrKapeji]

HG said the one lure he would have if limited to one would be the ima Hound glide, casts really well and I do use it, but so far I have not tempted any Bass with it, The lure I have caught more Bass on than any other has been the Redgill Evos and the Redgill V8 in pearl white, 100mm and 150mm sizes, both very effective.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yep very mark specific though, Mr Gilbey s Irish or Cornish venues are very different to here - i suppose we would have to fish the lures equally in the same place at the same time to know what’s best ! Also what are the bass doing is the most important thing and I’ll be digging in to that in our next video

[@steveward205]

@@SaltwaterAngler Indeed, the North Cornish coast is a very different beast compared to some of your marks, I only fish in the surf so you have to adapt ( try throwing a 16g lure into a NW wind) I personally use metals 95% of the time, the savage gear seekers & kilty catcher are my go to metals but I have a variety of others, had a couple of schoolies today on a seeker so they are still around, great vids, get your self down here & see how it compares, cheers.

[@RicTic66]

I'm still using my 1970s ABU lures obviously re-Hooked and touched up, they still regularly catch all manner of fresh and salt water predators. Especially the 'ABU Killer' the best surface lure for the money I've ever found.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Oh yes thanks for your comments, very interesting. I Think there are some beautys out there over the years. That's a touch of class refresh g lures by re- painting as well, a lost art as well. Keep it it up and tight lines Sir.

[@Hatim.13]

I still ise the original Abu Toby (Metal spoon) in 28g and 40g, and it still catches all kinds of fish, It's my go to lure when nothing else works, very consistent!

[@RicTic66]

@@Hatim.13 Hi Hitman Abu Toby is a classic 😊 I still have three 40g that I got for a Christmas present when I was about 16 the all silver with orange fins (very Roach like) the black with gold stripes and a bronze one I customed with small spots to hopefully look like a trout. All have caught decent pike and Bass over the 40 + years I've had them.

[@PitchUpCampsiteReviews]

My go to when things are getting tuff is the old Dexter wedge at 20 grams I think it is. It's tiny casts like a missile and I've had quite a few on it now. I'll give some of these you have there though, I like the look of the last two but the others I wasn't that taken by. Look forward to seeing how you get on with them.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Quite underated that Dexter but doesn't do as well in my murky patches

[@0gami1tto]

Great video, thanks for the advice. I’ve done lots of lrf over the last decade and am now moving up to big boy lures as wanna catch a bass :) I bought the zonk and a frosty ii instead of a pachinko as bought the wrong one lol!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good luck! I’m working on the next video on lures out soon that might interest you

[@karlstokes874]

I'd never be without my 4.5 " 12g sidewinder lure in black and green. Admittedly they don't cast too well,but the action is wicked

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Karl im never too worried about casting distance as most of these bass are caught close in locally.Ive always got a sidewinder and love black and green =confidence !

[@jonboy655]

Had a great session bass fishing recently from kayak using a VERY old storm thunderstick shallow diving plug, having confidence in your lure is all😎 I very rarely spend more than a fiver on lures but looking at my lurebox maybe ive got it wrong? A lot rarely get used and i find myself going back to the few lures ive had success on. Keep up the thoughtful content. 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

wise words jon, How that lure sits in the water is all important

[@theRhinsRanger]

Thank you for your advice fella. I've dabbled with this type of fishing but caught mackerel and wrass lol, kinda gave it up and stuck to the big rods and bait. Now I'm just taking my time researching and being a bit more methodical (Also I stopped fishing for a few years) I've just got a couple of things to buy and I will out and about having a scout :) ,

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Nice one, I’m doing an update to this video that might help or even confuse you more ! You can get very methodical that’s for sure

[@anthonywhyteakathedorsetan1573]

Love the video buddy! I can’t do without a savage gear Pearl white sandell lure

[@OleM-0891]

Maria Angel Kiss is a must have for Sea Bass.

[@seafishinggirl]

Perhaps you could finish by showing a still with all the lures laid out and their names next to them, that would be great

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks good input will do that on a future video

[@tollesbury1]

Lots of lure bling!! Some great lures to catch a bar of silver!!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I hope so, another session tomorrow during dark. Need some silver!

[@BigGriffDog427]

A great selection there and helpful advice too !

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thank you. It took a while to get this video up but glad it might help.

[@issak1391]

Great video, all them lures are in my go to lure fishing plus few more, however I have the megabass vision one ten instead of the shimano,

[@airpaprika]

Rapala Skitter Pop 12 should be there as well

[@terrynunn3268]

Good vid pal, my favs are the Dexter wedge and my no1 is the sidewinder skerries eel, any of the sidewinder bass packs are good also

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Ahh yes great lures always carry a dexter

[@nemesisslr]

I would get the Maria Chase in cotton candy and the Tackle House Feed Shallow in pink rainbow. They have caught so many Bass for me. I also recommend the OSP Bent Minnow in Hasu too

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Pinned comment thank you

[@nemesisslr]

@@SaltwaterAngler No worries, my clients seem to catch very well on them. I just want you to get more fish.

[@nemesisslr]

The feed shallow caught my best Bass at 14lb 4oz

[@Chrislegras]

nemesisslr hi mate is it definitely called maria chase? New to this game and cannot find it? Only Maria squash

[@nemesisslr]

@@Chrislegras I have looked around and sorry they do not make it any more. It is a shame as it was a great lure. Angel Kiss is a good lure. Patchinko II is a very good lure that my clients do well with. I would recommend a lure dancer to work that lure for long periods.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Megabass Zonk. ( Now think this is better in White here; ) lurefishingforbass.co.uk/megabass-zonk-120-sw-french-pearl-20g/ The patchenk 2 also here; Patchinko 2 surface lure. lurefishingforbass.co.uk/xorus-patchinko-ii-bait-fish/

[@turboduckhead6179]

I’ll have to look out for 1 of those Shimanos for the LRF.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

It’s a little bullet !

[@wattzy91]

Great video, I'm yet to start lure fishing but getting gear sorted for the summer.. the price of lures are very expensive.. would love to see a comparison video of cheaper lures that work just as well as I think I'd cry if I snagged a 20quid lure 😂

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes i will do that soon

[@martindichev4419]

Good lures especially the patchinko and the white soft lure best choice of hook with the twist lock Unfortunately the colours of the patchinko are not the best especially the blue one in my opinion the sea bass like see through belly and the way you twitch should be short and fast instead of big and slow the see bad has the predator instinct and in the summer you need to twitch fast

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good input thank you

[@SuspendaS]

You forgotten to put on Tacklehouse Feed Shallow!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Another top lure!

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

Have you ever fished down Portland in Dorset? If so, have you made any videos lure fishing on Portland?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Yes I’ve fished there a few times. But no videos yet. It did get a mention in a where to find big bass video though

[@DarrenAndOzzy]

@SaltwaterAngler I'm just getting into lure fishing, that's my local hunting ground but no fish as yet, only lost lures.. Would love to see an in-depth video of good spots, best lures to use and how to use the lures to the best of their abilities! Can't seem to find any decent videos focusing on lure fishing for beginners down here. I'm not a beginner angler, I know what I'm doing, I can get out and cast but my knowledge is limited in terms of how to fish with lures and where to fish down here..

[@topfuelteddy]

​@@DarrenAndOzzyGive Ferry bridge a try on the causeway , as the sun is going down or nice and early .

[@pompeyo7]

great video for me as i am a newbie on lures, would you recommend trying cheaper lures until i get used to them or go straight on with some of the ones you are recommending. 'Thanks.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

If your looking for cheaper lures try AXIA brand. There are lures very simular to the Patchinko and zonk in their range and most of them are under £10. All important is where the lure is in the water table and how your retrieving (or even not retrieving) Its worth studying how bait fish behave if you can. So in Answer to your question by all means try a cheaper lure, for me these in the video and this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipuZnoOObs2dpJY give me confidence, last longer cast sharper and i can guarantee they catch fish. The only problem is they cost £££

[@PhilInsane]

No feed shallow 128!!! Im shocked

[@Ryandawson018]

Agree

[@nemesisslr]

very true, one of the best

[@ChrisZzippy]

brilliant

[@UKEDC]

Savage gear sandeel in real pearl. My go to lure.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks lots of thumbs up for the savage gear stuff generally I'm finding

[@lencan3150]

DUO Tide minnow slim 140 is a properly awesome lure IMO

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Oh yes!

[@MrSteppenwolfe]

Feed shallow my man - get it in there. Ayu, mullet or UB15

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Like those 👍👍

[@MrSteppenwolfe]

@@SaltwaterAngler 105 probably casts a bit better than 128. Best shallow runner in production. Diawa Crosswake also worth a look - that lady really shakes her arse.

[@hairyscone]

Some fine friday night viewing. Don't you use metals for bass? Had great success they are over looked

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Dexter wedge over clear Welsh waters but here on the south coast no I rarely use them

[@miniman7361]

Savage gear panic prey mk1 bone white shiner👍 caught me lots of bass to over 10lb

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Nice, will check it.

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

9in white slug-go last year 👍, still too chicken to Chuck 20-30quid lures 😐

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Good stuff

[@seaangling]

I’ve searched out this video after your recommend. Thank you for the heads up and I have some of these on order. 👍🏻

[@mohamedsaif3004]

Thanks A lot

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No worries

[@Ihiggins]

Hi, would you need to use a weight with some or all of these lures, if so what size weight.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No not from the marks I fish. Most are shallow water lures where the current or flow of water is not large. River mouths or rock marks may require weighted shads or sandeels and the amount of weight depends on the venue

[@JamesWillson008]

Cracking videos, great tips mate keep them coming I have finally caught my first bass but it was using a garden worm on a size 8 carp hook and running lead on 6lb line in a river estuary 30s from my front door 🤣 time spent walking to and from the beach and rocks and £££s spent on new rod reel and bits bobs lures etc and i had all the tackle i needed right there..insane!

[@SaltwaterAngler]

It was there all along well done. I’ve heard of Bass being caught on garden worms but now here’s some evidence !

[@JamesWillson008]

@@SaltwaterAngler thanks! i saw some fish rising on my way home, but didn't think bass would venture into brackish water..got to be in it to win it as they say 🤣 size 8 hook though it was a decent size aswel not a schooly as you call them.

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Keeping it local then ! Thanks garden worm has been known to catch many fish in the sea and estuaries!

[@JamesWillson008]

@@SaltwaterAngler local indeed, i just need a velox window or small balcony something in my roof and i could cast into the river 😆

[@garykinsley9823]

I find the Yokozuna copies are better quality in the sort of transparent colours vey good quality

[@georgecurrier428]

Hi mate, just wondering what lure would you use around March time?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Hi George, low and slow- soft plastics or maybe j13s I’ve had early fish on if you drop me an email at [e-mail] I’ll send you a few links to some

[@keithakehurst9399]

Axia glide in pearl about £6😁

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Thanks Kieth ive got some of those so will test them out this year

[@robertlong9552]

What sort of gear would you use for fishing these lures ?rod reel line ? Great vid cheers 👍

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Plenty of videos on this on the channel - look at the favorite rod review - 8-28g rods , 18lb braid and fluro of 20lb. I like shimano 2500 size reels

[@robertlong9552]

Grand stuff thanks

[@drejtoman2974]

Great info . What reel & rod you using please. Thank you .😄

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Favorite cobalt 9ft and there is a review on the channel. Love small shimano exage atm

[@tonypotter9578]

Hi, does the line need to be weighted with a lure? Thanks

[@SaltwaterAngler]

No, a lovely simple way of fishing , even the do live doesn’t need a weight

[@UraFlight]

Saltwater Angler How far it will cast ? What kind of line are you using ?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I’m doing a video in July to show this

[@UraFlight]

Saltwater Angler very nice

[@rozariofernandes6455]

How do you we work the Shimano Exsence ..

[@SaltwaterAngler]

Excellent for deep drop offs there are different versions but it casts really well - the best of my lures and doesn’t need too much tip action to get it looking realistic - just let it drift and mend the line or straight retrieve

[@rozariofernandes6455]

@@SaltwaterAngler Thankyou i shall give it a go

[@lemon476]

You must try a spam lure their great

[@Qwdtdgg2662]

Any lures that work in murky water for bass

[@SaltwaterAngler]

J13 has done well in the past and shads - all dependent on many factors. Be confident in whatever you use though it goes a long way

[@turboduckhead6179]

Would you go for 8ft6 or 9 ft lure rod?

[@SaltwaterAngler]

I don’t think that matters too much but 9ft

[@hwood9783]

Lures 'catch' more anglers than fish ........

Go soft plastics! Like the slug-go, cheap! Maybe just until you have the confidence or money to start throwing 20+ bits of hard plastic
