Hi agardiner22 ,There is no bass lure that is better than any other as its just down to what they may be feeding on
at that time,or it could be an instinct bite/take from a bass to any lure because they are a total predator,it can all
come down to a list of factor's, i.e, time of day/tide/what bait fish maybe around at the time they are feeding,you can
open up a hornets nest over this one,and everyone will have their own idea's ect,all i can say is try everything at
any state of the tide and hope for the best,and apart from that you can do no more unless the fishing god's are
looking down on you!!!

Good Luck

+1 . Finding them feeding is 90 percent of the battle. Bass could take pretty much any well presented eel/worm/baitfish lookalike when it swims right in front of its eyes

As the lads said find them feeding hard and u can catch them on anything I've even seen triple shots of good size bass on white feathers with a spinner as the weight!,that was in cork harbour though not dublin

To answer your question my favorite at the moment would be the TACKLE HOUSE FEED SHALLOW 128F #06 Pearl rainbow Glow Belly.
I got it in Shankill Angling center in Dublin try them might have some left.
I have had great success with this lure, and gone out fishing with mates who where using all kinds a lures, and this lure out fished them well.
But like the guys above said "Bass could take pretty much any well presented eel/worm/baitfish lookalike when it swims right in front of its eyes" would agree with that.

Its nice to have a favorite

[agardiner22]

Much appreciated guys. And dat looks like a good lure, am gonna search for 1 now.

Fishing off beaches and estuaries kilty catchers are great when bass are feeding on sand eel.

The feed shallow is without doubt a top killer all over the country, pearl, ayu or mullet all producing good fish.
If you are after personal favourites, I have had most enjoyment with the cheapest hard lure in my box the lucky craft gunfish in ghost sardine. A lovely lure to watch work and very effective.

have heard alot about that exact feedshallow,good to hear more good words about it,am saving me coppers for one...
expensive enough for a lure tho eh?

[agardiner22]

yes costly they are but i would say a killer in the surf if u can locate bass.
Thanks for all d replies guys.

Kilty catcher all way,cheap and effective and Irish made!

Can't really go wrong with the feed shallow, either white or rainbow also try the komomo 2 rainbow.

I haven't caught alot of bass on the lure. nearly all of the have been on a german sprat. one was on a kilty catcher.
as one of the previous posters said find them feeding and you will catch them.

[Trilogy1982]

Bass lures must be as effective at catching the angler as the fish. The amount of money I've spent on them over the years isn't funny!

Just as well I'm not a fish or I'd be long dead!
