This slim sinking bait fish imitation can be worked at high speed for hungry pelagics, or twitched slowly on the drop for deeper predators. Available in 85mm/19g and 115mm/28g sizes, there’s 5 striking colour options to choose from.
The Vibe lure features smaller stainless steel ball bearings that not only help with casting distance, but they emit a higher-pitched rattle that you can hear coming through the water when the lure is 2-3 metres away from your boat.
Select from a range of fantastic colour patterns in UV, Matte, Translucent or Painted finishes giving you the ability to change your lure colour depending on what bait fish your target fish are chasing.
How to fish Lipless Crankbaits
Lipless crankbaits are versatile fishing lures that are effective for catching a variety of fish species, including bass, bream, perch and trout. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use lipless crankbaits:
Choose the Right Equipment:
Select a fishing rod and reel that are appropriate for the size of fish you're targeting. Use a medium-heavy or heavy action rod with a fast or extra-fast tip for better control and sensitivity.
Select the Right Bait:
Lipless crankbaits come in various sizes, colors, and designs. Choose a bait that matches the size and color of the baitfish or prey in the water. Bright-colored baits work well in murky water, while natural or transparent colors are suitable for clear water.
Cast and Retrieve:
Cast your lipless crankbait near the area where you believe fish are present, such as weed beds, submerged structures, or drop-offs. Let the bait sink to your desired depth before starting your retrieve.
Retrieve Techniques:
- Steady Retrieve: The most basic technique is a steady, medium-speed retrieve. This imitates a swimming or fleeing prey. Vary the speed and depth until you find the most effective combination.
- Yo-Yo Retrieve: Lift your rod tip sharply to make the bait rise quickly, then drop your rod tip and allow the bait to fall on a slack line. Repeat this lifting and dropping motion to mimic a wounded baitfish.
- Ripping Retrieve: Rip the bait through vegetation or over submerged structures by pulling the rod with a quick, upward motion. This action can trigger reaction strikes from aggressive fish.
Pay Attention to Line and Rod Sensitivity:
Lipless crankbaits are known for their vibration and rattle, so be alert for any changes in the rod tip or line tension. If you feel a sudden increase in resistance or a "thump," it could indicate a fish has struck the bait. Set the hook by quickly reeling in any slack and then lifting the rod.
Experiment and Adjust:
Fishing conditions can vary, so don't hesitate to try different colors, sizes, and retrieval techniques until you find what works best. Pay attention to the behavior of the fish and their response to your bait, and make adjustments accordingly.
Remember to check local fishing regulations and obtain the necessary licenses before going fishing. Happy fishing!
