Longest casting, very shallow-diving exhausting lures?

Yep, I fish with a spread of sentimental plastics a hell of quite a bit today, certainly I used to be speaking to a lad the opposite day concerning the first time I ever noticed a (superb) Irish angler rock up and bang three good bass out proper in entrance me on a MegaBass XLayer – what the hell is an XLayer I used to be quickly asking! Now have a look at me. I by no means, ever exit bass fishing with out no less than a “wholesome” number of tender plastics in one of many two washable lure containers I all the time carry at my aspect. Then I begin enthusiastic about the rabbit gap that’s attempting to mimic crabs and prawns and I realise how a lot there’s that I don’t but know…………..

However I do love a very good, shallow-diving exhausting lure, and I’ve beloved this sort of exhausting lure ever since I first bought my mitts on a cotton sweet color IMA Komomo SF-125 some years in the past now (summer season 2009 to be exact). I’ve a vivid reminiscence of a bass very practically beaching itself on a shallow reef as a result of I went to elevate the lure out of the water after the retrieve. I do know I yelped, and I additionally know that ever since then I’ve had a little bit of a factor for very shallow-diving exhausting lures – which I then like much more in the event that they forged very well and canopy loads of water for me. I assume that all of us fish a variety of shallow floor for bass, so exhausting and certainly tender lures which swim good and shallow are all the time going to make a variety of sense to us bass junkies.

I do know and settle for the varied arguments for lots of the bass we catch being hooked shut in, however for a bunch of various causes I’m personally extra drawn to lures which cowl me as a lot water as potential. I dread to assume what number of huge bass have been caught on the Deal with Home Feed Shallow 128 for instance, however there’s no getting away from how costly they’re now, plus they aren’t precisely the very best casting shallow-divers on the market. In fact you possibly can argue that with the bass these lures have taken that this clearly doesn’t matter a variety of the time, however nonetheless I’m extra drawn to lures just like the IMA Komomo SF-125 and the IMA iBorn 98F and so forth. Go searching and there are an excellent variety of actually good shallow-divers today from a bunch of various deal with corporations (MegaBass, IMA, Duel, Deal with Home, APIA, Savage Gear and so forth.)

Have you ever ever heard of the Savage Gear Gravity Shallow? Sure I work with Savage Gear, and sure I do know the lad who designed these two exhausting lures – 10cm/14g and 11.5cm/20g. I perceive the argument that the form isn’t far off the lethal IMA iBorn lures, however I understand how the bloke truly arrived on the barely larger physique sides which provides such an excellent diploma of stability. He got here on the Gravity Shallow from his (very secure) Gravity Pencil lures that are so in style within the Mediterranean space particularly. I actually, actually just like the Gravity Shallow exhausting lures, and I like them much more that they’re at a a lot cheaper price now (each sizes will be discovered for underneath £10 within the UK). I understand how good the elements are, and I actually just like the attention-grabbing vary of colors. As I stated, sure I work with Savage Gear, however I’ve all the time stated that when “we” make gear that I wish to fish with as a result of it catches me fish, I’ll achieve this.

Bloody hell these items completely fly. The smaller 10cm/14g model of the Gravity Shallow has caught me loads of bass over shallow floor, and I can even fish the rod tip and gradual proper all the way down to get an unbelievable “wiggle” which I’ve all the time been a sucker for (I’ve all the time believed that bass love a wiggle). The bigger 11.5cm/20g model will get on the market like an IMA Hound 125F Glide does, however after all it swims an excellent bit shallower. Not so shallow you can’t fish it in bouncier circumstances, but additionally in no way too deep you can’t fish it over shallow floor. It’s not a Hound Glide and it’s not meant to be, however I’ve used a hell of a variety of totally different shallow-divers and these Gravity Shallow lures are proper up there on the high of the tree in the case of protecting a hell of a variety of water. Additionally they catch bass which is clearly reasonably useful. You all have an excellent weekend and I hope you’re having fun with a little bit of reasonably beautiful climate which bloody hell we don’t half deserve!
