Last week I went for my firts proper bass outing with some of my mates, including chokka 123. Whe went for a late afternoon session on a farm dam in Stellenbosch. We caught 8 bass in total, and all of them were over 1kg, the biggest 2,1kg.

Group of lures with the same colours

The lure weighs around 25g and is 8cm in length. Its target species is bass. It works nicely with a slow and fast retrieve and runs straight. It has a crazy wriggle which I think will work. Its ballasted and doesnt float on its side. I am pretty satisfied whith this one

Tried my hand at making a bigger, bibless lure with a good action. I was completely surprised the first time I tested the lure. It has a suberb action and it works being reeled in slow or fast. Will definitely make some more of these lures in the future instead of making crankbaits.

Made my own stickers out of christmas wrapping and packaging material/foils. Also experimented with foil texture.

This crankbait was made by fellow sealiner and friend chokka 123. It has a great action and runs true! I reckon the bass will chow it to pieces! Will take a video of the cranks action as soon as the weather clears up! Well done chokka!:clap12

Made this lure for bass. It has a solid action and runs true. Also added some ballast to the lure. Will hopefully take a few pictures with the lure in a bass's mouth in the near future!!

I made this lure with only a small carving knife, sandpaper and a bit of spraypaint I have not got all the equipment to deliver astonishing lures yet, but as long as the lure delivers bass I'm happy.

Hi there, I caught this bass in a private dam in the Western Cape on a homemade crankbait. I did not weigh the fish and would like an opinion from fellow bass anglers. I estimate the weight of the fish to be around 2.6kg
